Everyone has a dream of their perfect house
- in the heart of the countryside or perhaps a stately residence in the middle of a wonderful city? For Kate Hutchinson the move to Suffolk from the tiny noisy London terrace she shares with her husband Simon & their two young children was almost enough to make her dreams come true. Space peace a measured rural pace of life have a far greater pull for Kate than the constantly overflowing in-tray on her desk at work. Moving in with her mother-in-law must surely be only a temporary measure before the estate agent's details of the perfect house fall through the letterbox.

- echoes so much of Kate's own. & Kate comes to realize how uncertain & unsettling even a life built on dreams can be
- wherever you are at whatever time you are living & whoever you are with.
