Series 12: 3. MacEwan Family
It has been her dream for years but recently Lindy MacEwan has made up her mind - it is time once and for all to decide if New Zealand really is the land of opportunity she has heard so much about. But it is not going to be easy to persuade her rugby mad husband number two Steve to make a move because he is more than content with his lot in Fife in Scotland.\n\nMeet the MacEwans. It is second time around for both prison officer and part-time DJ Steve and community and clinical nurse Lindy. The two got together seven years ago when they split from their respective partners. They say opposites attract and in their case this is exactly the case. Steve is outgoing and sociable, while Lindy is much more family and home orientated. They might be chalk and cheese as a couple but for them, it works! And now with three young children of their own to add to Lindy's daughter from her first marriage, the MacEwans feel complete.\n\nBut not content - at least as far as Lindy is concerned. On the surface, all appears good but deep down Lindy is still reeling from the breakup of her first marriage and is desperate for a brand new fresh start, far away from Fife. She is convinced a move to New Zealand is the way forward and although he is not totally against the idea, Steve does have major reservations. And he is not the only one with doubts - leaving Scotland means separating eldest daughter Niamh from a dad she adores.\n\nTheir trial week helps the MacEwans experience the life they might be able to enjoy and afford in New Zealand, before they are asked to vote on one of the biggest decisions of their lives - to stay or come home.
