A family swapped their suburban home in England for a rural homestead in Co Mayo - and now grow their own food and chop wood for heating.
Amy Johnson (34) and husband Peter (46) decided they’d had enough of the rat race during the Covid-19 pandemic.
So they moved their four children to Mayo - buying a six-acre property for €230,000 after selling their previous property in Lincolnshire for €317,100. The family now does its best to live off the land, growing fruit and veg and fetching water from a well.
