An 86-year-old Yorkshire man, Brendon Grimshaw may have lived alone for many years on the tiny island paradise of Moyenne in the Seychelles in the middle of the Indian Ocean since he bought it in 1962 for £8000, but he is rarely lonely.

For Brendon has spent the years reintroducing the indigenous giant tortoise to Moyenne and now shares the island with 120 of the magnificent creatures, on one of the world's smallest national parks.

The BBC's Simon Reeve went to visit him.

Ok, I admit it, I am a sucker for the giant tortoise and

I think Mr. Grimshaw will live at least another 20 or so years.

It seems that his lifestyle has managed to slow the aging process

way down.

What a huge task he has done there!

I am so jealous of his peaceful life. Great story! :)
