This week, Hugh and Jude leave leafy Surrey for a sustainable future in a remote corner of Wales. With the couple hoping to host their daughter's wedding just six months after the project begins, the heat is on to finish the complex build in time. Hugh and Jude Crawford are looking forward to the next chapter in their lives. They have given up their house in Surrey to create a more rewarding, sustainable life in a remote area of Wales.

The couple also have dreams of being self-sufficient – they want to set up a polytunnel, and have plans for keeping hens and other animals further down the line. Hugh and Jude are working to a strict deadline – their oldest daughter, Jessica, is getting married in six months and they are determined to have one of the stone barns ready to host the wedding.

But once the wedding is over there is little time for Hugh and Jude to relax. The pair know the project will
