A woman in Devon is facing eviction from a mud-hut home which she says is a refuge from an "allergy to modern life".
Kate Burrows (pictured) and partner Alan built their home on their smallholding in the Tarka Valley, near Chulmleigh. North Devon Council has given them until December to move out, despite her saying she is ill as a result of a condition called Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS).
But what is this condition?
The charity MCS Aware describes it as a chronic, physical illness affecting people of all ages and backgrounds.
It said it caused sufferers to have allergic-type reactions to very low levels of chemicals in everyday products and that, put simply, the immune and detoxification systems stopped working properly and the body could not process toxins efficiently.
It added that, besides reacting to things such as cleaning products, shampoo, perfumes and pesticides, many sufferers were also sensitive to food, medicines, moulds and electromagnetic fields.

Image source, PAThe owners and staff at a Tunisian hotel where 30 British tourists were brutally killed by an Islamic extremist could have done nothing more than "possibly make a difference", a coroner said.
Judge Nicholas Loraine-Smith said he could not include "neglect" by holiday firm TUI or the owners of the five-star Riu Imperial Marhaba Hotel when ruling on the deaths of the British victims of Seifeddine Rezgui.
Rezgui opened fire on the beach and grounds of the Sousse hotel in June 2015, but the judge, sitting as coroner at the victims' inquest in London, said the law regarding neglect did not cover tourists on holiday.
Lawyers for more than 20 victims had wanted this included after the lengthy inquest heard evidence from survivors that they were not warned of the danger of holidaying in Tunisia before they left. Members of the victim's families (pictured) were at the hearing.
The coroner concluded that they were all unlawfully killed.
The dead included Bodmin father of three 59-year-old Stephen Mellor, who died protecting his wife, Cheryl. Mrs Mellor suffered life-changing injuries.

Public input into a second consultation into proposals to create a new parliamentary seat straddling the Cornwall-Devon border will be "invaluable", election boundary bosses say.

The Boundary Commission for England (BCE) said: "Comments made during both consultations will help us develop a well-rounded picture of how local communities live and work together across the country. This local knowledge will be essential when we revise our proposals."

The company that owns a pub where a woman got food poisoning from eating roast dinner and later died, did not have adequate systems in place for food safety, a judge has said.
Judge Simon Carr said at Truro Crown Court: "There were systems in place probably in a brightly coloured file on a shelf in the kitchen but this was not sufficient. Food safety was considered, but not sufficiently emphasised. There was simply no supervision and control for food handling."
Christine Morgan, 71, died on 12 August 2015 after eating roast lamb at the Clock and Key pub in Trispen near Truro.
Diane Burrow who managed the kitchen pleaded guilty to four counts of breaching food safety and hygiene regulations and was fined £750.
Lake Inns & Leisure Limited who own the pub also pleaded guilty and was fined £20,000 and ordered to pay costs of more than £23,000.
