A COUPLE have moved to a small village so that they can enjoy fresh air, long walks, and catching a train to work at an insanely early hour.

Nathan Muir and Donna Sheridan were excited to leave the city behind and embrace a new lifestyle of being completely knackered all the time.

Muir said: “We’ve always been outdoorsy so it’s lovely trudging to the station in the dark when even the birds haven’t got up yet.

“We’re just so happy to be spending well over 20 hours a week on a train between London and a village we’re telling ourselves is in the commuter belt.

“It’s such a blessing to step off the train at the end of the day, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and know that no matter how tired I am it’s not as bad as I will feel in the morning.”

Sheridan added: “Last night I got back after 9pm which meant I got to look at the stars on the way back from the station, although I had to hurry home in case I fell asleep in the road.

“Living in the country just feels like a more authentic knackering experience than my previous 40-minute tube journey to work.”
