Early on a Monday morning Rebecca Bradley jumps on a train to face the start of the working week. Rebecca’s commute is longer than most, however. She journeys from Talland Bay on the south coast of Cornwall to central London, some 230 miles away.
Rebecca became a long-distance commuter last year, after she and her fiancée, Tim Slee, decided to sell their two-bedroom house in Nunhead, south east London, and trade up to an ancient, ramshackle, 10-bedroom farmhouse overlooking the bay and set in 55 acres of seriously overgrown land.
