Former S Club 7 star Hannah Spearritt has actually just recently delighted her Instagram fans with posts from her idyllic brand-new tropical home in Costa Rica, where she and her partner Adam Thomas are figured out 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 images show, even an eco-warrior needs the periodic check out to the supermarket in their gas-guzzling 4x4.
Recently, Adam, 45, packed up the couple's 3.0 litre diesel Hi Lux pick-up with the weekly shop at the big BM supermarket in Dominical, about half an hour down the mountain from where the couple and their two young daughters have actually based themselves.
Hannah and Adam's hillside estate with its own waterfalls and spectacular views of lush green valleys is a far cry from their life in Britain, which they waved farewell to in January.
Hannah announced to her 348k Instagram followers that the couple now prepare to 'learn permaculture' so they can 'live off the land' growing vegetables and fruit.
But locals and other expats in the hills above Dominical on Costa Rica's Pacific coast, told MailOnline that the challenges of self-sufficiency can be 'tremendous'.
'Naturally it depends on a number of factors such as how much dough you have, just how much land and above all, how much experience,' said an American member of the regional ex-pat Facebook group, Domi Crew.

Despite Hannah altering her Instagram bio to: 'Prepper, survivalist and developer now living the uninhibited jungle life', Adam was seen today stockpiling on the weekly shop at B&M
Adam was seen carrying a McDonald's soft drink cup as he got out of the family's gas-guzzling 4x4 truck. B&M grocery store offers a series of items including sodas, confectionery, and alcohol, as well as toiletries and cleansing items and garden furnishings
Hannah has been publishing about her idyllic life in Costa Rica - and included this photo of herself on the veranda of their apartment or condo overlooking tropical jungle

'It can be done, of course, but there are a great deal of people who have actually tried and ignored how challenging it is, then been required to search for some other sort of paid work rather to get by.'
If that should take place to Hannah and Adam, there would be lots of chances in the thriving traveler and surfing resort of Dominical, must 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 displayed on Instagram recently.
There is a wide variety of high-end hotels, yoga retreats, craft breweries, high-end dining establishments, natural food shops, junk food dining establishments and a big BM supermarket, where the couple have both been seen.
Though some Instagram followers have presumed the couple's wood house with remarkable views of the sunrise from the terrace would be 'off grid', it likely is not.
More than 99 per cent of the many villas and farms dotted in the forest are on mains electriicty and most boast cooling and high-speed internet too, provided either by fiber optic cable television or satellite.
Judging by pictures published by Adam on Facebook in their airy kitchen with a high vaulted ceiling, the family won't do not have any mod cons in the home.
At the grocery store today, MailOnline found Adam loading a trolley high with products consisting of loo paper and bread to take home. Before heading back to their apartment or condo, he emptied the truck of some rubbish including a soda cup from McDonald's.
One property agent in Dominical informed MailOnline: 'There is an extremely healthy residential or commercial property market around here and it's driven by foreigners. Many of them are digital wanderers running their company from here since it's lovely, with the jungle, the beaches and the quality of life.
'But actually making a living from the land is a difficult task, unless you have substantial resources and knowledge, or have adequate residential or commercial property to rent it out to paying guests.'
Hannah posted this video of a campfire and a Volkswagen camper van as part of the household's brand-new starts after quitting the UK for the warmer climes of main America
However, the truth is that Hannah and Adam are using this ecologically hostile 3.0 litre diesel Hi Lux pick-up truck to do the day-to-day tasks like popping to the supermarket
Hannah moved to Costa Rica after a series of well-publicised problems including the death of her ex-boyfriend and band member Paul Cattermole and the row over her stopping S Club 7
It's not known 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 because of spiralling costs.
The industrial 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 offered in March, having actually been on the marketplace for ₤ 900,000.
Adam announced the couple's relocation to Central America back in January with a foul-mouthed attack on Britain, stating 'F *** the UK and f *** the f *** ing great deal of them. We GOOONE!!!'.
His intemperate Facebook post was accompanied by a sweet photo of his 2 daughters, Taya, five and four-year-old Tora, in a hammock at their stunning rain forest home.
But the bitter tone of his invective against politicians of all hues, and 'nosey jobsworth c *** s in every federal government department and the NHS' raised another concern.
Could an ugly incident which saw the couple clash with police and social workers 3 years back over an injury to their infant daughter have been a factor in their choice to quit Britain?
The transfer to Costa Rica brought to an end a well-publicised headache couple of years for Hannah, which consisted of the death of her ex-boyfriend and band member Paul Cattermole in 2023, her awkward departure from S Club 7, a dreadful breast implant surgical treatment leading to years of illness and a spell in rehabilitation to wean her off effective pain killers.
But less popular is one of the darkest chapters in her 2023 autobiography, Facing the Music, billed as a 'searingly honest narrative', a clash between the couple and social services.
In December 2022, while house-sitting for buddies in Virginia Water, Surrey, press reports branded the couple 'homeless' while they were in between rental flats.
When then toddler Tora suffered an injury, thought to be brought on by a canine jumping up and scratching her eyelid, Hannah composed: 'We discovered ourselves on the radar of social services, a definitely ridiculous situation to be in, absolutely unjustified.'
She remembered the horrific event when she ran towards the noise of Tora's screams: 'The scene that I encountered in the living space 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 healthcare facility, she wrote: 'One of the nurses was available 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 room, the police were awaiting him and detained him, taking him off in handcuffs.
'What was currently an awful situation had actually ramped up to something inexpressible'.
When the household landed in Costa Rica Hannah's partner Adam published this picture on his public Facebook page of their two children and consisted of an expletive-laden tirade at the UK
Adam - pictured in the couple's spacious Costa Rica apartment - ranted about Keir Starmer, the Tories, Reform and the NHS as he said farewell to Britain
But after the bitterness of giving up the UK, the household's dreams of a brand-new live have actually become a reality as they take pleasure in morning waterfall strolls and an outside play ground as part of their lives
Hannah declared that media reports about their short-term homelessness had actually somehow persuaded the authorities that it was likely that a person or other of them had actually inflicted their daughter's injuries.
She stated: 'It's truly frightening to believe that someone with definitely zero proof can paint an image like that which affects someone being arrested and secured while their daughter depends on a hospital bed, awaiting significant surgical treatment.'
She added: 'It seemed like persecution, among those authorities specifies that people speak about.
'Honestly, I do not believe I can ever forgive the individuals accountable, although we've striven to forget about it, and them, as rapidly as possible.'
Nevertheless, while the social services performed their investigation, she said, the household needed to live in lodging where other responsible grownups existed.
She included: 'This was including insult to severe injury and bearing in mind my steady decrease in health generally, I was truly starting to despair.'
It wasn't the very first time Adam Thomas had 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 throughout a hearing at Kingston Crown Court. The court heard that 3 prosecution witnesses were not readily available which the case might not proceed.
Adam Thomas was discovered not guilty and released.
Hannah and Adam are thought to have actually chosen Costa Rica to settle after enjoying a trip to the sensational place in 2018.
Hannah has actually consistently taken to Instagram to wax lyrical about how well the relocation has ended up for them and marvelled at the beauty of Costa Rica
The check out originally influenced them to set up the café, Fire and Earth, in Twickenham in 2022. However, it was never ever ready to open totally and they offered up previously this year.
A source stated: 'It's the latest in a series of obstacles. The brand-new strategy is selling up and moving to Costa Rica to live off the land.'
Meanwhile Hannah, who has struggled with an autoimmune condition considering that 2013, had actually been set to join her former band on their return tour in 2023 but pulled out following a feud over agreements.
Following the row, the other members - Rachel Stevens, Jo O'Meara, Jon Lee, Bradley McIntosh and Tina Barrett - announced that they would continue as a five-piece.
Along with living off the land, there is a broad of luxury hotels, yoga retreats, craft breweries, high-end restaurants, health food shops, junk food dining establishments readily available to Hannah and Adam
All the mod cons are readily available to the family with 99 percent of the many rental properties and farms dotted in the forest are on mains electrical power and most boast air conditioning and high-speed web
Hannah was said to have been blindsided by the S Club statement, with her being left on bad terms with the band in which she rose to fame in the early 2000s.
She then apparently drafted in legal representatives and made the bold move to release her autobiography on the exact same day the band would have taken to the stage.
Before Paul's death, all 7 members of the chart-topping band at first validated they were reuniting for a landmark 25th anniversary trip.
Hannah at first declined to join the line-up, pointing out an absence of childcare and just consented to join when music supervisor Simon Fuller provided to pay for baby-sitters to come along.
Two months later on, band member Paul passed away, and Hannah then accepted a five-figure amount to tell her story, which left a bitter taste in the staying band member's mouths.
