An Edinburgh mum who lost her business in the pandemic is featuring on Ben Fogle’s Channel 5 show, New Lives In The Country.
Dog trainer Rizia Robertson left her four storey townhouse and life in the capital behind to renovate a derelict farm set in 30 acres in the Pentland Hills. The 64-year-old bought the dilapidated property in the height of lockdown and has lived in a caravan on the grounds since.
Rizia was urged by her friends to apply for the show and in an exciting twist, her story was chosen. Rizia will appear on the show alongside her sons, 35-year-old builder Kyle, and 31-year-old dogwalker Josh, as well as her three dogs, two cats and four chickens.
