The rise in cancer... Due tae the modern world ... Aye we can eat
well. We can live a simple life... But the pollution and indeed the
tech that surrounds us all. Means cancer in all its guises will spread
more and more... We have chosen this path and NATURE will bring us aw
doon tae earth.

fear

One of The worst things aboot this journey wae cancer.. The fear in
Mels eyes... In a cuddle it ebbs and flows... But in a flash her eyes
are filled wae terror. Another hard thing what some people say... In
the end it is Mels journey and i will try my best tae be here for
her...

A wee film about us on STVs the HOUR SHOW click on STV logo to see the film

Andy the Daft Hermit lives 45 minutes outside Inverness with his wife Mel in an old bus parked in a layby. This current home of theirs is the longest they have ever stayed in one spot. “I’ve been travelling now 25 years,” said Andy Lowe. “Mel’s been travelling 15. One of the reasons we’ve come and stayed up here is because of Mel’s health. I wanted to bring her to the mountains for fresh air and clean water and just a slower pace of life.” Mel has had breast cancer twice, skin cancer once, and for three years believed she had bone cancer after being wrongly diagnosed. Andy’s belief in the restorative powers of the north made them pack up ‘The Black Bus’ that they live in and cross the border into Scotland. New Highland home for hermit couple Andy and Mel “I think we both believe in trying to get to a more simple way of life,” said Andy, “but it’s strange for us because we are sort of hermits, or we like to live separate, but it’s not being anti-social… it’s just the way we are that allows us to be creative.” Andy first began travelling when he left the army. Fed up with bureaucracy he packed a rucksack and left for France and has been travelling ever since. By investing any money the couple have earned into solar panels and wind generators they now live a self-sustaining existence, without electric bills, and collect rain water “straight from Heaven”. “It’s not easy,” said Mel. “There might be time when there might not be enough facilities around, but you always find a way, you know?” Rather than rejecting technology, Andy blogs about his travels online and collaborates with artists from around the world via his ‘Scratchy Heid Film Studio’, which he runs from a static trailer next to the couple’s bus. He explained his philosophy: “My belief is that if you can go through life and you drop dead and you’ve got a balance there that slightly outweighs the good than the bad, you’ve done alright. “Yesterday, with what Mel’s been through with the cancer and all that, I had a woman on one of my sites there that thanked me for the writing, for the positive things, and to me that’s worth everything. You can keep your millions, we’re not interested. That is what we do.” To check out Andy’s artwork and video projects check out his website. MORE FROM THE NORTH

Making a wee wodburner from a gas bottle is simple . no need for welding and to be able to install a heater for under £5.00 is music to my old wallet.and the real beauty is it takes very little to heat up the truck. and with all the insulation i have fitted the heat is retained throughout the night.

The next step will be to convert a wee botle to an oven to fit on top and above that will be a water tank .. grab as much energy from one wee log as possible

I hope you enjoy the wee film love and light from all in the wee mobile hovel here in the Scottish mountains.

OOR FRIEND FRANK:

My name is Frank Pickavant and I've been a keen amateur photographer for many years. I love the beauty and diversity of the British landscape and how it changes from season to season. Over the years I've accumulated many photographs that few people ever get to see, so I decided to create this website to share with family and friends and anybody else that happens to stumble across the site. I hope that you enjoy my photographs and also enjoy my musical slideshows that incorporate my favourite shots with music that I think will help viewers appreciate the mood of the photographs.

Welcome
