Harvey and John on t'telly

From here...


To here...

Harvey and John, my friends who left Leeds to move to the Isle of Harris for a different kind of life are on television tomorrow (Wednesday) night - UK television programme Build a New Life in the Country on Channel 5 at 8 p.m., repeated on Thursday at 8 p.m. on Fiver. I've just watched the programme on http://demand.five.tv/Series.aspx?seriesBaseName=BuildANewLifeInTheCountry
and even without knowing Harvey and John I think I would have found it riveting to watch them working ro restore the buildings and prepare to open a campsite business on thirteen acres of land through sheer determination and on a tiny budget all done with their usual wit and good humour. For those of you not in the UK you can see the programme on the link above.

    It was a great programme - just hope they got their de-crofting eventually, they certainly deserve to make a success of it.

    Without a doubt it has been the most charming and appealing of this series. I liked both the characters and I absolutely adore the location. Sandra if you are a friend of theirs give me the website address and contact details either publicly on here are privately because I'm very sure I could help them with the website to get more customers. This is not primarily some moneymaking approach it is a genuine wish to help. I have holiday accommodation in Whitby and have studied search engine optimisation which gets you the business. I'd love to help the two guys it was a great program. Alan from Bradford... unfortunately

    Hi, sorry to be repeating the others' comments, but do they have a website, and could you possibly send me the link to it? I'd love to go and stay, but have spent a good while surfing looking for their site but can't find it :-(
    Thanks
