“A Place In The Sun: What Happened Next?” revisits past house-hunters to see how their lives have unfolded since taking the plunge and moving abroad. This Friday’s episode checks in with two couples, taking a look at the realities of renovating and settling into a new life in a foreign land.
Presenter Laura Hamilton catches up with Janice, who bought a villa on Spain’s sun-drenched Costa Cálida back in 2014. We see how Janice has made the place her own, adding a sparkling new pool and generally enjoying the relaxed Spanish lifestyle. There’s even a new partner and a furry friend to complete the picture. Pool parties and beach trips, anyone?
Meanwhile, Sara Damergi travels to Coimbra, Portugal, to reconnect with Felicity. Felicity and her then-husband, Richard, purchased a farmhouse ripe for renovation back in 2014. While the marriage didn’t last, Felicity’s love for the farmhouse certainly did. Now living there full-time, she gives Sara a tour of the transformed property and shares her enthusiasm for the future.
The episode offers a balanced perspective, highlighting both the joys and the inevitable bumps in the road when it comes to relocating and renovating abroad. It airs Friday, March 28th at 6:00 PM on Channel 4.
