But as these unique pictures reveal, even an eco-warrior requires the occasional visit to the grocery store in their gas-guzzling 4x4.

Recently, Adam, 45, loaded 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 2 young children have 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 revealed to her 348k Instagram fans that the couple now plan to 'find out permaculture' so they can 'live off the land' growing fruit and vegetables.

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 several factors such as just how much dough you have, how much land and above all, just how much experience,' stated 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 stocking up on the weekly store at B&M

Adam was seen carrying a McDonald's soda cup as he got out of the family's gas-guzzling 4x4 truck. B&M supermarket sells a series of items including sodas, confectionery, and alcohol, along with toiletries and cleansing items and garden furniture

'It can be done, of course, however there are a great deal of people who've attempted and undervalued how tough it is, then been required to search for some other sort of paid work instead to get by.'

If that should happen to Hannah and Adam, there would be lots of opportunities in the flourishing tourist 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 big gas-guzzling 3.0 litre diesel Toyota Hi Lux pick-up which Hannah displayed on Instagram just recently.

There is a vast array of high-end hotels, yoga retreats, craft breweries, high-end dining establishments, natural food stores, fast food restaurants and a big BM grocery store, where the couple have both been seen.

Though some Instagram fans have presumed the couple's wood home with wonderful views of the daybreak from the balcony 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 a/c and high-speed internet too, delivered either by fibre optic cable television or satellite.

Judging by photos published by Adam on Facebook in their airy cooking area with a high vaulted ceiling, the family will not do not have any mod cons in the home.

At the supermarket this week, MailOnline found Adam packing a trolley high with goods consisting of loo paper and bread to take home. Before heading back to their home, he emptied the truck of some rubbish including a soft beverage cup from McDonald's.

One realty representative in Dominical informed MailOnline: 'There is an extremely healthy residential or commercial property market around here and it's driven by immigrants. A lot of them are digital wanderers running their organization from here due to the fact that it's lovely, with the jungle, the beaches and the lifestyle.

'But actually earning a living from the land is a difficult job, unless you have substantial resources and know-how, or have enough residential or commercial property to rent it out to paying guests.'

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 relocated to Costa Rica after a series of well-publicised setbacks 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 known how much capital Hannah and Adam have in between them, but their plans to open a holistic grocery store in Twickenham had actually to be shelved in 2015, apparently since 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 offered in March, having been on the marketplace for ₤ 900,000.

Adam announced the couple's move 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 photo of his 2 children, Taya, five and four-year-old Tora, in a hammock at their stunning tropical rain forest home.

But the bitter tone of his invective versus political leaders of all colors, and 'nosey jobsworth c *** s in every government department and the NHS' raised another question.

Could an unsightly incident which saw the couple clash with police and social workers 3 years back over an injury to their baby daughter have been an element in their decision to stop Britain?

The relocate to Costa Rica gave an end a well-publicised nightmare couple of years for Hannah, that included the death of her ex-boyfriend and band member Paul Cattermole in 2023, her awkward departure from S Club 7, a disastrous breast implant surgical treatment resulting in years of disease and a spell in rehabilitation to wean her off powerful pain killers.

But less well understood is one of the darkest chapters in her 2023 autobiography, Facing the Music, billed as a 'searingly candid memoir', worrying 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 between rental flats.

When then toddler Tora suffered an injury, believed to be triggered by a pet dog leaping up and scratching her eyelid, Hannah wrote: 'We found ourselves on the radar of social services, an absolutely absurd circumstance to be in, completely unjustified.'

She recalled the horrific event when she ran toward the sound of Tora's screams: 'The scene that I encountered in the living space will stick with me permanently. Tora was standing on the sofa, eyelids horrifically lacerated and the worst facial injury I've ever seen.'

At the health center, she composed: '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 space, the police were waiting for him and arrested him, taking him off in .

'What was currently a dreadful situation had ramped up to something inexpressible'.

When the household landed in Costa Rica Hannah's partner Adam posted this image on his public Facebook page of their two children and included an expletive-laden tirade at the UK

But after the bitterness of stopping the UK, the family's imagine a new live have become a reality as they delight in morning waterfall strolls and an outdoor playground as part of their everyday lives

Hannah declared that media reports about their short-term homelessness had in some way encouraged the authorities that it was likely that one or other of them had actually inflicted their child's injuries.

She said: 'It's truly frightening to believe that someone with definitely no proof can paint a picture like that which affects somebody being arrested and locked up while their daughter depends on a medical facility bed, waiting on major surgery.'

She included: 'It felt like persecution, among those authorities specifies that people discuss.

'Honestly, I don't think I can ever forgive the people accountable, although we have actually striven to forget 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 accountable grownups existed.

She added: 'This was including insult to severe injury and bearing in mind my gradual decrease in health generally, I was actually beginning to misery.'

It wasn't the first time Adam Thomas had actually 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 concerned trial, it collapsed, and he was found not guilty of common attack and witness intimidation throughout a hearing at Kingston Crown Court. The court heard that three prosecution witnesses were not offered and that the case could not proceed.

Adam Thomas was discovered not guilty and discharged.

Hannah and Adam are believed to have picked Costa Rica to settle after enjoying a journey to the spectacular area in 2018.

Hannah has actually consistently required to Instagram to wax lyrical about how well the relocation has ended up for them and admired the charm of Costa Rica

The see originally motivated them to set up the coffee shop, Fire and Earth, in Twickenham in 2022. However, it was never ready to open completely and they sold up previously this year.

A source stated: 'It's the most recent in a series of setbacks. The brand-new strategy is offering up and relocating to Costa Rica to live off the land.'

Meanwhile Hannah, who has struggled with an autoimmune condition given that 2013, had actually been set to join her former band on their return trip in 2023 but took out following a fight 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.

In addition to living off the land, there is a large of high-end hotels, yoga retreats, craft breweries, high-end dining establishments, healthy food shops, junk food dining establishments offered to Hannah and Adam

All the mod cons are readily available to the household with 99 per cent of the many rental properties and farms dotted in the forest are on mains electricity and most boast air conditioning and high-speed internet

Hannah was stated to have been blindsided by the S Club announcement, with her being left on bad terms with the band in which she rose to popularity in the early 2000s.

She then reportedly prepared in lawyers and made the bold relocate to launch her autobiography on the same day the band would have required to the phase.

Before Paul's death, all seven members of the chart-topping band initially confirmed they were reuniting for a landmark 25th anniversary tour.

Hannah at first refused to join the line-up, mentioning an absence of child care and just accepted sign up with when music supervisor Simon Fuller offered to pay for nannies to come along.

Two months later, band member Paul passed away, and Hannah then accepted a five-figure sum to tell her story, which left a bitter taste in the staying band member's mouths.

The Dancing On Ice star apologised to S Club's fans for choosing to leave however stated she had to do what was finest for herself and her household.
