first pic is sexy though, reclining in that "come hither" style...
so what's with the mud huts and hippies?

Hippies and stuff
Last week, I went on an ecobuilding course where I spent 5 days camping in the wilds of East Sussex while learning to build buildings from locally available materials (in this case, a pagan fertility chapel disguised as a root-cellar built from sandbags with a layer of straw and clay plaster) and just generally play around in the mud. Despite the weather, we enjoyed ourselves and seeing our energies and enthusiasm manifested in a physical object is something wonderful - especially if it's something we can shelter in. And I also learned about the bowel habits of caterpillars.

BTW the first pic was taken in the office of my previous-to-last office-job. And I also misread "come hither" as "come hitler".

ming-ey or minge-y ?

Sorry
Minge-esque possibly.

Does "locally available materials"
include your local Jewsons?

Nah.
The bulk of the materials were sand and clay dug up locally. Although the sandbags themselves were produced somewhere else.
