We were contacted in 2016 and asked if we would be part of a Channel 4 television programme called "A New Life In The Sun"
The film crew spent the summer of 2016 following us around and documenting our journey. The renovation of our house, the first harvest and much more. With so much more to do they returned in 2017 to continue filming and followed us renovating the old farm house into gites and the continued improvements to the vineyard and our harvest. Meet Rob, Steve and Branston at Clos Vieux Rochers and see where they have been and what they have been doing as they build their "New Life In The Sun" ..... Available on UK catch-up on Channel 4 or on Netflix under the title of "The Great Escapers".
2019 the cameras returned to Clos Vieux Rochers to film a segment for
"A New Life In The Sun.....Where are they now?"
In 2023 we were filmed again for
"A New Life In The Sun... Where are they now?" this was aired on Channel 4 in Autumn 2024.
What's next? Let's see what 2025 brings.
Catch up with Rob and Steve at their vineyard and gites.
See what they have done and what their future holds.
