A headteacher has given up her stressful two-hour commute to school – to become a crofter on a tiny island off Shetland.
Helen Hart, 55, and partner Jason Tilbury, 57, are the owners of South Brough Croft on Yell, one of Shetland’s North Isles, where they tend to 26 acres of land, looking after 40 sheep and 15 chickens, and running a business selling rugs.
It marks a huge change from their life in Maidstone, Kent, where Helen ran a school and Jason was an ambulance driver.
