Why did the man go to live in the country?
Interviewer: Right then, Roger, what made you take off to the country in the first place?
Roger: Well, I suppose any one who moves to the country wants their life to be different in some way. I mean, if you have always lived in a city, as I had, then something must happen to make you want to move. In my case I was made redundant, and, when it came to looking around for a new job, I just couldn’t face going back into an office again. So I sat down and thought about what I’d really like to do.
Interviewer: And that, I suppose, turned out to be something in the country?
Roger: No, initially I didn’t think of moving, but just of getting a different kind of job, you know social work with kids or old people, that kind of tiring.

Interviewer: That’s pretty ambitious, a townie moving off to the depths of the country and setting up his own business. How did you start, had you got any skills?
Roger: I’d always had a garden and grown some vegetables and flowers, you know, usual things, salad stuff, carrots, peas, beans, a bit of fruit, some roses.., so I thought of a small holding, a kind of small farm. But when I looked at the prices to buy, I changed my mind; I didn’t have that kind of money.
Interviewer: OK, a farm’s out--so what’s next?
Roger: I settled on a nursery and bought my way into a partnership with a...
