Chris and Gillean Sangster downshifted themselves from London, first to Wiltshire and then to Scotland where they now run their own holiday let business. In this book they look at some of the key implications of downshifting and relocation - and consider the main criteria you can use to judge whether the time is right for you. It also reviews the pros and cons of living in different parts of the country - and provides authentic advice on how to make it all work out.
