A couple bought a plot of land and invited another family to move onto it with them - so they could start their own 'sustainable community' with a 'slower pace of life'. Charlotte Knee-Zaska, 30, had always dreamed of building a home in the countryside and luckily her husband, 32-year-old Max, was in on the idea.
Together, they saved £47,000 in around three years and bought an acre of land in Offaly, Ireland, and moved there with their daughter, Iza, five. They then built two houses and soon invited their friends, James smith, 32, and Ffion Thomas, 31, to join them - and now they have their own little commune.
