On the remote Isle of Canna in western Scotland, a family from the Gwendraeth Valley has settled among the seals, puffins and farm animals.
Neil Baker from Llannon moved there with his wife Debs and their daughters Elinor and Anwen in February last year when he took on the role of gardener at Canna House.
Over 350 applicants from all over the world had their eye on the two-year contract on Canna but it was Neil's enthusiasm, experience and knowledge that impressed the appointing panel from the National Trust for Scotland.
Having settled on the small island, which is only four miles long and one mile wide, the family has had some amazing experiences.
The pace of life is a lot more relaxing on the nature reserve than in Carmarthenshire, because they're surrounded by wildlife instead of cars and buildings.
As there are only 20 inhabitants on the whole island they can't really complain about noisy neighbours either!
Canna is in the eye of the storm when the winds pick up over the sea and its proximity to the elements creates more problems for the crops, and to the safety of their family home.
The simpler life that the island offers comes at a price and Neil's more aware of this than anyone.
"I certainly haven't found paradise here," he says realistically. "But there's no such thing as paradise. Human nature means that you're always striving to find something else."
