Manchester to Derbyshire
When ex-air hostess Julia Baynes posted a lonely hearts advert for a leather clad rocker she wasn't expecting to fall for Tim Ryan, one of the respondents. Tim's a committed conservationist and was living in a hut in the woods at the time, but he gave it up to move into Julia's Manchester house. They've since decided his home in the rural back-woods wasn't such a bad idea and are looking for a two bed cottage in the Peak District. Catherine Gee has £250,000 to make their dreams come true.
