  • A cheeky young boy climbs over a back yard gate armed with a homemade bow and arrow in a back street in Liverpool, England. His homemade toy is the antithesis of what a wealthy lad might wish for in 21st century Britain when gadgets were all a kid wants and games outside have become rare and uncool. But this is still the early 1990s in times of recession when a make do and mend philosophy means families improvise with what they have and wealth is out of reach for many.

  • Hermit, Tom Leppard 72, has been living in seclusion at this unidentified spot on the Isle of Skye, Scotland for 22 years. He crouches as he emerges from his self-made shelter, largely cut-off from the outside world. Converting the north-facing dry-stone walls into a home against harsh Scottish winters, he uses a knowledge of survival skills to help him stay fit and largely healthy although his memory is fading and muscular ailments trouble him. Few know his exact whereabouts but concerned locals visit when weather prevents him from crossing a 2km-wide Loch in an old canoe. A tarpaulin roof is weighted down by heavy rocks as winds can be fierce this far north. His days are spent washing, cleaning and carrying out maintenance jobs that keeps his home clean and fresh. Tom is a former solder and sailor and chose this spot when he sought solitude.

Now it is much more difficult to get food because they have to share the forest with the other villagers.

  • David Reynolds (aka Eco) is a long-term activist, campaigner in the peace movement and resident of the Faslane Peace Camp, Scotland. His home of three years is called the Earth Shack and is largely re-cycled from scrap and garbage found locally on rubbish tips. Eco leans against his garden fence holding a mug of coffee this chilly Sunday morning. Signs of his political beliefs adorn the place: CND logos and Peace on Earth statements. His mother was a ‘Carnie’ (after the word Carnival, someone working on the fairgrounds) so perhaps it’s from her that he more enjoys an alternative outdoor camping lifestyle after a few years in the army. Faslane Peace Camp is a makeshift site alongside Faslane Naval base where Trident nuclear deterrent missiles and submarines dock.
