Apparently, building a dream home in the countryside isn’t chaotic enough for Sarah Beeny. This week on Sarah Beeny’s New Life in the Country, the family welcomes two new additions to their Somerset farm: piglets. And, as one might expect, these little porkers promptly escape their enclosure, causing a comical farm-wide search. Because nothing says rural tranquility like frantically chasing escaped livestock through fields.
Amidst the piglet pandemonium, the Beenys also find time for a more reflective outing, venturing to Stonehenge to witness the sunrise on the autumn equinox. This juxtaposition of farmyard frenzy and ancient history might seem jarring, but it’s typical of the show’s blend of domesticity and gentle education. The episode aims to portray both the unpredictable challenges and simple joys of rural life. Will it strike a balance or leave viewers feeling whiplashed between piglet pursuits and pagan rituals? Tune in to find out.
Sarah Beeny’s New Life in the Country airs at 6:00 PM on Saturday, February 8, 2025, on Channel 4.
