- 5 years ago
A free-spirited couple have told how they live totally off-grid in a hilltop coastal fort - spending just £1,200 a YEAR.
Trained teacher Sarah Simpson, 27, and estate manager Nigel Mepham, 44, decided to leave behind conventional life two years ago in a bid to live a more simple and sustainable existence.
They get to live rent-free in their 18th Century Cornish coastal fort in exchange for tending the land, and second-hand solar panels give them all their electricity.
