Former S Club 7 star Hannah Spearritt has just recently delighted her Instagram followers with posts from her picturesque new tropical home in Costa Rica, where she and her partner Adam Thomas are determined to 'live off the land'.
Hannah, 44, altered her bio to: 'Prepper, survivalist and developer now living the uninhibited jungle life.'
But as these special pictures show, even an eco-warrior requires the periodic see to the grocery store in their gas-guzzling 4x4.
Recently, Adam, 45, packed up the couple's 3.0 litre diesel Hi Lux pick-up with the weekly store at the substantial BM grocery store in Dominical, about half an hour down the mountain from where the couple and their two young children have actually based themselves.
Hannah and Adam's hillside estate with its own waterfalls and sensational views of lavish green valleys is a far cry from their life in Britain, which they waved farewell to in January.
Hannah revealed to her 348k Instagram fans that the couple now prepare to 'find out permaculture' so they can 'live off the land' growing vegetables and fruit.
But residents and other expats in the hills above Dominical on Costa Rica's Pacific coast, told MailOnline that the obstacles of self-sufficiency can be 'enormous'.
'Naturally it depends upon numerous aspects such as how much dough you have, just how much land and above all, just how much experience,' said an American member of the local ex-pat Facebook group, Domi Crew.

'It can be done, obviously, but there are a great deal of individuals who've tried and undervalued how difficult it is, then been forced to search for some other sort of paid work rather to get by.'
If that need to happen to Hannah and Adam, there would be lots of chances in the growing traveler and surfing resort of Dominical, should the couple choose to work.
The town is less than half an hour's drive down the mountain in their huge gas-guzzling 3.0 litre diesel Toyota Hi Lux pick-up which Hannah flaunted on Instagram just recently.

Though some Instagram followers have actually presumed the couple's wooden house with marvelous views of the sunrise from the balcony would be 'off grid', it likely is not.
More than 99 per cent of the numerous vacation homes and farms dotted in the forest are on mains electriicty and most boast cooling and high-speed internet too, either by fibre optic cable or satellite.
Judging by images published by Adam on Facebook in their airy cooking area with a high vaulted ceiling, the family will not lack any mod cons in the home.
At the grocery store today, MailOnline spotted Adam filling a trolley high with goods consisting of bathroom paper and bread to take home. Before heading back to their apartment or condo, he cleared the truck of some rubbish including a soft drink cup from McDonald's.
One realty agent in Dominical informed MailOnline: 'There is a really healthy residential or commercial property market around here and it's driven by immigrants. A lot of them are digital wanderers running their company from here because it's stunning, with the jungle, the beaches and the quality of life.

'But in fact making a living from the land is a hard task, unless you have considerable resources and knowledge, or have sufficient residential or commercial property to rent it out to paying guests.'
Hannah published this video of a campfire and a Volkswagen camper van as part of the household's brand-new beginnings after giving up the UK for the warmer climates of central America
However, the truth is that Hannah and Adam are using this ecologically unfriendly 3.0 litre diesel Hi Lux pick-up truck to do the day-to-day tasks like popping to the grocery store
Hannah transferred to Costa Rica after a series of well-publicised problems consisting of the death of her ex-boyfriend and band member Paul Cattermole and the row over her quitting S Club 7
It's not understood how much capital Hannah and Adam have in between them, but their strategies to open a holistic supermarket in Twickenham had to be shelved in 2015, supposedly due to the fact that of spiralling costs.
The business residential or commercial property in the heart of Twickenham town, purchased in Hannah's name in November 2018 for ₤ 520,000 with a mortgage, was sold in March, having been on the marketplace for ₤ 900,000.
Adam revealed the couple's relocate to Central America back in January with a foul-mouthed attack on Britain, declaring 'F *** the UK and f *** the f *** ing great deal of them. We GOOONE!!!'.
His intemperate Facebook post was accompanied by a sweet picture of his 2 children, Taya, 5 and four-year-old Tora, in a hammock at their stunning tropical rain forest home.
But the bitter tone of his invective against politicians of all colors, and 'nosey jobsworth c *** s in every federal government department and the NHS' raised another question.
Could an unsightly event which saw the couple clash with cops and social workers three years ago over an injury to their baby child have been a consider their choice to stop Britain?
The relocate to Costa Rica brought to an end a well-publicised problem couple of years for Hannah, which consisted of the death of her ex-boyfriend and band member Paul Cattermole in 2023, her uncomfortable departure from S Club 7, a devastating breast implant surgical treatment resulting in years of disease and a spell in rehab to wean her off powerful pain reliever.
But less popular is one of the darkest chapters in her 2023 autobiography, Facing the Music, billed as a 'searingly candid narrative', worrying a clash in between the couple and social services.
In December 2022, while house-sitting for pals in Virginia Water, Surrey, press reports branded the couple 'homeless' while they were between rental flats.
When then young child Tora suffered an injury, thought to be brought on by a canine jumping up and scratching her eyelid, Hannah wrote: 'We discovered ourselves on the radar of social services, an absolutely outrageous circumstance to be in, totally unjustified.'
She recalled the horrific occurrence when she ran towards the noise of Tora's screams: 'The scene that I came upon in the living room will stay with me forever. Tora was standing on the couch, eyelids horrifically lacerated and the worst facial injury I have actually ever seen.'
At the hospital, she composed: 'Among the nurses was available in, and asked Adam if she might have a word with him outside. What I didn't know was that as quickly as he left the space, the cops were awaiting him and arrested him, taking him off in handcuffs.
'What was already a terrible situation had actually increase to something indescribable'.
When the family landed in Costa Rica Hannah's partner Adam published this picture on his public Facebook page of their 2 children and consisted of an expletive-laden rant at the UK
Adam - envisioned in the couple's spacious Costa Rica house - ranted about Keir Starmer, the Tories, Reform and the NHS as he bid farewell to Britain
But after the bitterness of stopping the UK, the family's dreams of a new live have actually come to life as they delight in early morning waterfall walks and an outside play area as part of their lives
Hannah claimed that media reports about their temporary homelessness had somehow persuaded the authorities that it was likely that one or other of them had caused their child's injuries.
She stated: 'It's genuinely frightening to think that somebody with absolutely zero evidence can paint an image like that which affects somebody being jailed and secured while their child depends on a healthcare facility bed, waiting for significant surgery.'
She added: 'It felt like persecution, among those cops states that people discuss.
'Honestly, I do not think I can ever forgive the people responsible, although we've made every effort to ignore it, and them, as rapidly as possible.'
Nevertheless, while the social services conducted their investigation, she said, the household needed to live in accommodation where other accountable grownups were present.
She included: 'This was adding insult to severe injury and bearing in mind my steady decline in health normally, I was truly beginning to despair.'
It wasn't the very first time Adam Thomas had been investigated for alleged violence. In 2016, he was charged with assaulting Hannah in a domestic argument, and frightening a witness.
But when the case came to trial, it collapsed, and he was discovered not guilty of typical assault and witness intimidation throughout a hearing at Kingston Crown Court. The court heard that three prosecution witnesses were not offered and that the case might not proceed.
Adam Thomas was discovered not guilty and released.
