BBC Escape to the Country presenter Jules Hudson has spoken out on his double heartbreak, after losing his father and then his beloved dogs just months apart from each other.
Escape to the Country's Jules Hudson has opened up about the double tragedy of losing his father and then his cherished dogs.
He went on to discuss the difficulties of grieving: "I made the mistake of trying to put it to the back of my mind. With all the stuff that comes with the loss of somebody very close to you, there's a horrible amount of administration that you have to go through. I probably didn't spend enough time dealing with it. I find myself now having to catch up a bit, and it's catching me quite unaware. You can get quite emotional when you least expect it.
He then chose to embark on a 12-week course in furniture making. In an interview with the Lyme Regis and Bridport News he stated: "Late last year, I realised I was quite burnt out and needed a creative and emotional reset. It was a family discussion, and we are investing in our future." Jules, in his search for more green space, moved from London with his family. Speaking to The Times in 2020, he expressed: "I found London very claustrophobic. There's an energy about it that I absolutely love, but I need green fields and space."Elaborating on this, he revealed: "We knew what we were looking for - something with space, something with outbuildings. And having its own plot was really important to me.
