Woman living on tiny island has to take a plane to return ASOS parcels

A woman has moved to a tiny island so remote, she has to take a plane to return her ASOS parcels. Lydia Eakin moved to 2,342-acre island Inis Meain off the west coast of Ireland for her university placement year.

The island has just one pub, a village shop, medical centre, small airport and church. But despite this, Lydia loves the new relaxed pace of life and now takes more time to read, walk and wild swim.

The fashion and textile student can walk the entire length of the island in just 40 minutes. However one of the inconveniences appears to be the small island's remote nature that forces Lydia to take a short seven-minute plane ride over the Galway, Ireland, if she wants to return an ASOS parcel.
