Former S Club 7 star Hannah Spearritt has recently delighted her Instagram followers with posts from her picturesque new tropical home in Costa Rica, where she and her partner Adam Thomas are identified to 'live off the land'.
Hannah, 44, altered her bio to: 'Prepper, survivalist and creator now living the uninhibited jungle life.'
But as these special photos show, even an eco-warrior needs the periodic check out to the supermarket in their gas-guzzling 4x4.
Recently, Adam, 45, filled up the couple's 3.0 litre diesel Hi Lux pick-up with the weekly shop at the huge 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 spectacular views of rich green valleys is a far cry from their life in Britain, which they waved goodbye to in January.
Hannah announced to her 348k Instagram followers that the couple now prepare to 'discover 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, informed MailOnline that the difficulties of self-sufficiency can be 'tremendous'.
'Naturally it depends upon numerous factors such as how much dough you have, how much land and above all, how much experience,' stated an American member of the regional ex-pat Facebook group, Domi Crew.

'It can be done, obviously, but there are a great deal of people who have actually attempted and ignored how hard it is, then been required to try to find some other type of paid work instead to manage.'
If that must occur to Hannah and Adam, there would be plenty of chances in the growing traveler and surfing resort of Dominical, must the couple decide 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 displayed on Instagram recently.
There is a wide variety of high-end hotels, yoga retreats, craft breweries, high-end dining establishments, health food shops, junk food restaurants and a big BM grocery store, where the couple have actually both been seen.
Though some Instagram followers have actually assumed the couple's wood house with marvelous views of the sunrise from the terrace would be 'off grid', it probably is not.
More than 99 percent of the lots of villas and farms dotted in the forest are on mains electriicty and most boast a/c and high-speed internet too, provided either by fibre optic cable or satellite.
Judging by images posted by Adam on Facebook in their airy cooking area with a high vaulted ceiling, the family won't lack any mod cons in the home.
At the grocery store this week, MailOnline spotted Adam loading a trolley high with goods including loo paper and bread to take home. Before heading back to their house, he emptied the truck of some rubbish including a soft beverage cup from McDonald's.
One real estate agent in Dominical informed MailOnline: 'There is a very healthy residential or commercial property market around here and it's driven by immigrants. Much of them are digital wanderers running their organization from here because it's stunning, with the jungle, the beaches and the lifestyle.
'But actually making a living from the land is a tough task, unless you have significant resources and know-how, or have sufficient residential or commercial property to lease it out to paying visitors.'

However, the reality is that Hannah and Adam are using this environmentally unfriendly 3.0 litre diesel Hi Lux pick-up truck to do the daily chores like popping to the supermarket
Hannah transferred to Costa Rica after a series of well-publicised obstacles including the death of her ex-boyfriend and band member Paul Cattermole and the row over her stopping 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 needed to be shelved last year, apparently since of spiralling expenses.
The commercial residential or commercial property in the heart of Twickenham town, bought in Hannah's name in November 2018 for ₤ 520,000 with a mortgage, was offered in March, having actually been on the market for ₤ 900,000.

His intemperate Facebook post was accompanied by a sweet picture of his 2 daughters, 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 political leaders of all shades, and 'nosey jobsworth c *** s in every government department and the NHS' raised another concern.
Could an unsightly occurrence which saw the couple clash with cops and social workers three years earlier over an injury to their child child have been a consider their decision to give up Britain?

When then toddler Tora suffered an injury, believed to be triggered by a dog jumping up and scratching her eyelid, Hannah wrote: 'We found ourselves on the radar of social services, a definitely absurd circumstance to be in, absolutely unjustified.'
She recalled the dreadful event when she ran toward the sound of Tora's screams: 'The scene that I encountered in the living-room will remain with me permanently. Tora was standing on the sofa, eyelids horrifically lacerated and the worst facial injury I have actually ever seen.'
At the healthcare facility, she composed: 'One of the nurses came in, and asked Adam if she might have a word with him outside. What I didn't understand was that as quickly as he left the space, the authorities were awaiting him and detained him, taking him off in handcuffs.
'What was already a horrible situation had increase to something indescribable'.

She added: 'It seemed like persecution, one of those authorities specifies that individuals talk about.
'Honestly, I do not believe I can ever forgive the individuals accountable, although we have actually made every effort to forget about it, and them, as quickly as possible.'
Nevertheless, while the social services performed their investigation, she stated, the family had to reside in lodging where other accountable adults were present.
She included: 'This was adding insult to major injury and bearing in mind my gradual decrease in health generally, I was really beginning to despair.'
It wasn't the first time Adam Thomas had actually been investigated for supposed 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 found not guilty of common assault and witness intimidation during a hearing at Kingston Crown Court. The court heard that 3 prosecution witnesses were not offered and that the case might not continue.
Adam Thomas was discovered not guilty and released.
