This channel is brilliant. Living life as it was meant to be lived. And Alex, that blouse and skirt looked stunning. Women certainly knew how to dress back in the day. Much love and respect to you both from the Netherlands ❣️🙏
Such an interesting channel. You have so much work to do.
I respect your efforts to keep your home and land tidy

Y’all are so lucky and blessed to have a place like that . I would give anything to have a place like that. Me & my mom did all that stuff y’all do. Before she passed away 8yrs. God i miss my mom. But I talk to her everyday.

Thank you so much
Such a shame you both were Sick. All the dust floating around didn’t help. I so enjoy this daily look and the amount of work you both must do.
Girl power at its finest!
Outside work is so much better on a lovely day. I try and enjoy all our precious summer and fall days before gray winter returns.
love it!❤️

Hello!, Mowing grass never seems to end. Sorry to see you got sick. I'm glad you both are feeling better. Thank you for bringing us along on your shwoo enclosure, and mowing project. You both look terrific. Alex, that skirt looks absolutely beautiful on you! I am looking forward to the next video. Cheers!
Your home is lovely & I'm enjoying the new channel very much.
I can highly recommend the Saker mini chainsaw! It's affordable, handy and comes with two rechargeable batteries. Perfect for cutting up small branches.
I enjoy your new channel and content. Thank you for allowing us internet people from all over the world in to your life and home. Lovely property and place to live.
Love your new channel! The house, the yard, the barn yard. How I wish I was younger and able to do the work I used to. Take care.
I so enjoy your mudlarking and I’m loving getting to know you better and see your lovely property.
You need a couple of goats to help!😊
Hello,there.Just when watching your videos made me wonder what else you could surprise me with,well there you go again!!! I just love love it.Jo.xxxxxxx
Lovely farm...
I grew up in Tennesee in the U.S..
We had a small farm (compared to our neighbors) and spring was my favorite time of yr..
Calves are being born , along with piglets & baby chicks...
My career took me all around the world & I havent been "home" in 15 yrs..
But when I retire, I going back ..
Enjoyed it ladies..
That was an amazing view at the end of the whole property
Sorry to hear you both were under the weather. That's a lot of work keeping property in shape. It doesn't get any easier as we age. I couldn't cut the lawn or the weeds unless I wore a bandana over my nose else I'd be miserable for days afterwards from the dust.
Your land is so beautiful.
I really like this new channel ladies :) My grandparents had a farm when I was young, and my parents would take us to visit many times a year, so it's very nice to see yours and recall my very fond memories of farmyards, barns, chicken coops, and all the various goats, chickens, etc. that were always about. The way you compose and edit your videos makes them so pleasant to watch, and I just LOVE your choices of music. Oh and some of my favourites of your older videos are the creative ones- making jewelry and little ceramic pieces; so I hope you will feel the desire to make more of those some time too. Your work is beautiful. Thanks for all you're doing!
I'm so sorry you're sick! Take it easy until you feel better! I can't even cut my grass in this massive heat wave we're enduring in the state's. We're burning up. You've got the biggest chickens I have ever seen!
You two could literally count blades of grass on camera and I'd watch! xoxo. #asmr
You and your mother are two beautiful women be sure to make sure that you don't show people the interior of your house in a way that they can figure out how to break in and harm you doxing is a real worrying issue love you be safe
i agree with Tinkerbelle! im loving this channel!
Despite our personal worries and problems watching your videos surely gives us all a lot of encouragement to press on each day. Thank you both ❤❤ UK.
We really enjoy seeing your home and surroundings, enjoy all your uploads.
The shwoos remind me of cats…with their nose or rather beaks right in the middle of what you are doing and supervising everything 😂
I hope you use the cardboard laying it down in the garden to clear out the weeds and grass. Great episode! I hope you are both feeling well now.😊
Sorry you both got so ill...just glad to know you are doing better. The grass growing back while you were both healing...epic, like the myth of Sisyphus...I trust the schwew house will be up soon (if not already ❤🌈)
Hello ladies! You are such fun to watch! What an absolutely sublime backyard! Peaceful to the heart. Thank you for sharing it with us! God bless and keep you safe…glad you are feeling better…what a huge difference from whence I’m from …a busy city!…you look so lovely Alex all your outfits are cool! and Gail you’re a dear! Thank you again for sharing your world! Beautiful and peaceful…a hello from California 🌹
That was fun,loving the new channel. 🙂🌈🐈🐈⬛💖
Alex is super gorgeous just like her mum.
Lots of work. Seems when one owns property, the work is never done.😊😊
Girls, I do hope this channel earns you the income to buy help for your farm. A tractor would change your lives!!!!
Sorry for your illnesses. Hope you are all recovered and strong now!
Sorry you both were ill. You're home is lovely. We have a coop like yours and the chicken wire is really easy to put up. The door was a pain. We got there in the end. So it should take about an hour to finish. It rolls over from bottom, over top, then to the bottom. On the long walls then the one short side front side to side. They fill in the door side. And you are done. I would recommend lacing the wire around the poles to hold it in place. The tarp is a breeze to add in the end. Good luck.
Great video. As an Anglophile from the Pacific Northwest, I always thought the green fields I saw for so many years in movies and on videos were some kind of amazing English grass that never needed to be mowed! You two work so hard!
I thought that too!
Oh how I wish english grass never needed to be mowed !
Alex, If you would purchase the helmet setup that tree fallers wear, it contains full face protection and ear protection. plus head protection of course. Until I bought one I didnt realize how great they are. I even wear it mowing the lawn, and it has saved my head from several nasty knocks when I failed to see a tree limb. I have basically the same cart here in the U.S.. Beware the hinges for the sides and back are pretty crook. Really cheap and weak. I had to buy real hinges and modify them after welding them on. I used slip pins instead of the peened pins to hold the hinges together. It has held up to some huge weight loads now for 3 years after the modifications.
Who needs a gym! I just came in from our garden where along with my daughter and grandson we weed whacked weeded mowed edged trimmed the grape vines and hosed the whole place and us down too. So nice to sit back now with our lemonade and sun tea on ice and appreciate a job well done. Sorry you were both Ill(never fun). I am enjoying your new channel ladies. Love and Light from USA Southern California.🌸V
Love the scenes from the land, that wagon looks heavy duty, hope it helps!
Hey y’all from Ohio. USA 🇺🇸. I have watched you gals for forever. I adore you two. Alex you have such wonderful character. You can tell you have great love and respect for your mother, your heritage and the land. Something rarely seen in your age bracket. It means your mother raised you well. All my best wishes .
Thanks for sharing! Lovely video and lovely property. A credit to all your hard work. Brown Schwoo looks so happy now with company😊 I'm sorry you guys were sick but hopefully fully mended by now🤗 excited to see the finished Schwoo abode.
You have a loyal follower here Ladies, I love being able to watch as your farmhouse and homestead grow. It is so beautiful just as it is and I can't wait to see it grow as you very hard working Ladies put your own ideas into the land. Joining you from Oregon, United States.
Another lovely glimpse of your life in the countryside ❤
Sorry to hear you’ve both been poorly!
I am really enjoying this new channel. You two ladies are very inspirational. Please keep posting. I look forward to your videos every week. Thank you! ❤
Loving the extra channel...that old wheelbarrow would be great painted in muted colours and planted up with flowers...😊✌🇬🇧
Wonderful Wonderful ❤️ ❤️
Another good one. I don’t know where you ladies get the energy to go treasure hunting, having to take care of that huge property great drone footage. And I love the music that you choose, it always fits with what you’re displaying. Please keep this channel. Love to you both.
You’re so lucky to live in such a Beautiful Pl., Alex, your clothes are very cool I like the three sided hat you wear sometimes I am in California
I used to live by Los Angeles but now I’m in Davis California. I love it. I absolutely love the idea of your new channel. I’ve always wanted to see your home and your family.
In 2015 I lost over 75 huge pine trees creating 37 Truck size Slash piles. I find my bow saw works best but even more better is taking a large branch and using it as a weapon against a slash pile, whacking at the point I want to brake. Sometime I have to doge flying sticks. But it works the fastest. I am down to 7 small slash piles. I burn everything in my wood stove for heat.
Loving your newest venture! You are both very hard workers. The Shrews are wonderful creatures! Hello from Washington State USA!
Hello Washington State from Eastern Washington State!
@@jeriannroberts1816 and hello to both of you from the foot of Mt Rainier on the west side!
Astoria, Oregon saying Hi!
I would luv to live where u guys live it is amazing plus all the history that u guys have just laying around just boggles my mind i luv all ur videos for real keep up the great work!!!!
Beautiful property a bit of heaven
Another wonderful video
Your property looks amazing but it requires a lot of hard work to keep on top of it. The pea hens are so funny. Ee have had cats like that. They would have to inspect every hole we dug up. They also would follow us along keeping us company. Blessings to you. 🙏🌻🐕🥰🇺🇸
In absolute love with your content and just your way of life. ❤
Well if it makes you feel any better I am inside watching you guys when I should be outside doing yard work! 😅
Thanks!!! Always a delight! ❤
The house and its location are so pretty. Living the dream!
Loved the video. Please make more. I enjoy everything you do. Hope the two of you have completely recovered.
🥰🥰🥰
I do like this video a lot Thank you both for sharing more of your lives with us.
Hello, Gail and Alex! Good to see you making your work a bit lighter and easier on the back. As they say, "necessity is the mother of invention". Remember to pace yourselves. No matter how long it takes to post your episodes or how short they may be, we'll be here waiting. Love your curious Shwoos. Runty may have heard from her Emu cousins, through the proverbial grapevine, that Emus are used as guardians of flock and farm. Perhaps she fancies herself the self-elected "Guardian" and protector, racing to rescue Alex from that noisy predator, with jagged teeth Lol. Strength and Love to You and Yours, from across the pond.
thank you for always making my day, sending love from Australia 💜
They make saw blade like attachments for weed eaters that really cut thru the thick woody grass.
Great idea especially doing it so long ago so we can catch up with life on the farm. Loved the egg juggling last week. You have your work cut out for you so sharing it is so sensible keep well thank you x
Farm girls are the best.
You will love your new trolley! My son got me one for Christmas and I love it. Your property is beautiful.
Hi, beautiful property in a lovely scenic area, you both work so hard, is it Alex singing at the end? If so lovely voice ❤
Do you sing these lovely songs Alex? I'd like to know too 😊
So satisfying watching someone else do yard work.
You could use a couple sheep or goats to keep your grasses knocked down....
When I had my farm I had to get up and take care of the animals even when I was very sick with the flu. It's a part of every life, whether you work in town or if you have children to take care of, or have a farm. It's still a pleasure to have the moments between pains to live life fully. When you can get one I suggest getting a push brush cutter, it will help take down the tougher weeds and saplings without breaking your back: or maybe get a goat and tether it out where you want the grass kept low. Maybe make some fire cider to help keep the dis-eases away. Glad you are past the illness. Hope you stay well. I enjoy watching your channels. Takes me out of the city for a few minutes. Thank you!
The shwoos are sooo helpful!😂
I find this channel interesting and calming.
Love the birds❤
😂 "lost my sticks a long time ago", just love your humour Alex
I love your new channel. Hugs and love for the USA
Beautiful place to live ladies . I bet you were heart broken all that hard work then being poorly and having to start from scratch again i felt your pain ladies thank you so much for sharing xxxx
I really like the photo of the two of you that you used for the channel!
Well done Ladies, thank you. The "Lost Tower Diaries" are, and I am confident will continue to be, really interesting, entertaining and great fun to watch. Also I am sure that I could smell the fresh cut grass when you were strimming Alex. (Good to see you wearing protective Boots and Goggles too 🙂)
I noticed that someone had mentioned wet cardboard to kill weeds in large areas. I just wanted to mention that plastic tarp works too.
Keeping a yard tight is definitely a full time job on its own. :-)
Enjoyed it.i love this channel. You both worked very hard. ❤
Another great video!!
You two work so hard! And it pays off! You have beautiful property!! Will we get a walk through of your home? It’s so beautiful! Would love to see the inside!
I’m glad to see that you ladies got better! So sorry you got so sick.
Well, can’t wait for the next video! Look forward to it! ❤️ 😊
Take care!! 🙏
You can usethat grass for the schwoos pen.
It must be great to have that much space to work on 😍 I find any excuse to do some gardening and grow things!
Love your new channel 😍 I’ve always wanted to see your house and property. Just as I expected, what a beautiful place.👍😊 Wishing you both all the best always💕
Beautiful property, so peaceful and Renaissance like . Y’all are 2 beautiful hard working ladies !!! Just curious, no husbands to lend a hand ❤️
I think Alex has 2 brothers. They appeared briefly on the mudlarking channel once to help with something but don't seem to like to be in the videos. Perhaps they live somewhere else?
Alex, You look Absolutely Beautiful! You are the most bright eyed young lady on TH-cam. Your Mother is Amazing as Well. Just know that the 2 of you are daymakers over here in the States...Sending much love and Respect from Ohio❤ 🇺🇸
🙋♀️❤ Loving this channel!
I'm really loving the new channel. It helps me unwind and calm all the stresses from the week. Thank you my lovelies, looking forward to the next instalment xx Teresa ❤🇦🇺
