  Nowadays, they run a   11   in the mountains of Wales, “I always wanted to have one here,” says Daniel, “and we took almost a year to   12   the decision to downshift.It’s taken some time getting used to, but it’s been   13   it.We have to think   14   now about spending money on car repairs and we no longer have any   15  .However, I think it’s make us stronger as a family, and the children are a lot   16  .”

  Liz, however, is not quite sure.“I used to enjoy my job,   17   it was hard work and long hours.I’m not really a country girl, but I suppose I’m   18   getting used to looking after the animals.One thing I do   19  , though, is being able to see more of my children.My advice for other people wanting to do the   20   is not to think about it too much or you might not do it at all.”
