Dorothea Shaw is 71 years old and nearly blind, and when she chose to live alone far away from people, she went about as far as it is possible to go to escape humanity. She lives in Belize - a country the size of Wales with a population only that of Swansea. Her home is at Gales Point, a tiny village which can be reached only by sea or air, after a ten-mile walk into the hills one finally reaches a plot of land and two small huts so hidden in the thick over-grown forest that only a handful of people know Dorothea is there.
She lives happily and totally alone - growing her vegetables, looking after her trees and dogs, cats and chickens. Once a month or so an old friend passes by with her food supplies and mail - usually including a letter from her sister in Scunthorpe and some bits of clothing from friends in Canada. Sometimes a local man will come and chop wood for her and the occasional group of British soldiers will come across her and be greeted with the offer of a cup of coffee.
At night she lies in her tiny sleeping hut with the dogs on the floor, the cats on the table near the typewriter and one of the hens settled down in the corner of the packet bookshelf, and listens for hours to any Spanish, English, German or French broadcasts she can find on her radio. Sometimes she gets lonely but most of the time the animals and the radio are company enough.
But recently the very things which she had escaped from and hidden from so well have begun to catch up with her. The peace of the forest has been destroyed by the roar of earth-moving machines not many miles away. Humanity and the 21 th century, once only heard of distantly on the radio, are now on her doorstep. Things began to change three years ago. The new main north-south highway in Belize was cut through the forest only four or five miles away. "Now more and more people know I'm here," she says, "I feel more threatened each day".
