We’re Sarah, Mark, and our daughter Ellie — a small family chasing a slower, simpler life in the countryside.

A few years ago, we were stuck in the usual routine: commuting, screens, noise, more commuting. We lived in London, worked long hours, and barely saw each other awake. One morning, after Ellie asked if we lived at the office, we knew something had to change.
We started looking for a new way of living — one with muddy boots, quiet mornings, and time to breathe. After months of house hunting and second-guessing everything, we swapped the city skyline for rolling fields and endless cups of tea.
Now, we spend weekends in wellies, planting veg, chasing chickens, and learning how to slow down. Quiet Country Life is our way of sharing what we’ve learned — the wins, the fails, and the joy in the middle.
Whether you’re dreaming of a move or just want to bring a bit of calm into your day, we hope this space gives you some inspiration (or at least a good laugh when our goats escape again).
Thanks for being here.
– Sarah, Mark & Ellie
