Richard and Sarah Turnbull and their four young sons are striving to make their Tuscan life totally self-sufficient, as well as putting their hard won experience to good use by helping other Brits follow in their footsteps and move to Italy.
As summer draws to an end for the Turnbull family, Richard tours the olive groves in preparation for the olive harvest in November.
They're relying on a bumper harvest this year to make up for the terrible one they had the year before. The oil from the harvest makes up a big chunk of their yearly income so a good crop is vital.
Up at the farmhouse Sarah has a domestic crisis when the water runs out and Richard has to venture down to the stream, which provides the farm's water, to sort out the problem.
Richard DJ's at a top wedding and relives his days as a Jimmy Savile impersonator back in Yorkshire. He tries to clinch his biggest property deal of the summer and ends up taking part in the local Carnival parade, dressed as a medieval accountant.
All this plus the usual mix of stunning scenery, sunshine - and Richard and Sarah's unique take on living the dream life in Italy.
