"We quit rat race for a commune - we share everything from toilets to childcare"

A couple quit the rat race to join a shared living community - where they grow their own food and their neighbours help raise their baby.
Guy Erlacher-Downing, 27, and his wife Viki, 29, bonded over their love of the great outdoors when they met in 2016.
And they soon grew tired of city living - so chose to quit their jobs and relocate to a sustainable living community just outside of Totnes, Devon.
The pair now live in a wood cabin on 44 acres of land alongside seven other eco-conscious families.
