It's a feel-good double reunion as Sonali Shah returns to West Sussex to catch up with a couple she first met in 2024, when they were planning a return home after living abroad for 15 years. Sonali takes to the squash court for a quick game and heads to the yoga studio to meet some of their new friends.\n\nSonali also travels to Norfolk to revisit a buyer she helped in 2022, who longed to return to the county of her childhood holidays. Now, she is living that dream in a gorgeous cottage she has renovated with sheer determination and plenty of blood, sweat and tears. Sonali joins her to add some final flourishes to a truly beautiful home.
