- We cut a hole in the ceiling to see if it might be worth exposing the beams. What do you think? Also, more chores completed around the homestead.
Living in Scotland in a 300-year-old country house. This is a record of our life renovating an historic house in Scotland and using our land as a homestead to enable us to live as sustainably as we can - almost off grid!

One of the most wholesome channels on TH-cam. Thank you ladies for the adventures😊
I saw an online article on the Northern Mudlarks that stated Gail had been to film school. We know Alex is a brilliant photographer. I wonder how the videography and editing and music choices are divided between the two of you. It is all so excellent. Your videos are compelling.
Gail, you and Alex discussing how you need a new garden bench, then the man selling what looks like high quality garden furniture randomly showing up and having just the perfect bench for your garden is akin to your mentioning to the mudlarking gods how you're hoping to find one of your bucket list finds, and boom, there's the exact bucket list find you asked for, right at your fingertips. The bench is gorgeous. 🎉❤
Time between episodes seems a lifetime this is how much I love your vids. Two very determined ladies you never give up never give in to defeat. I always say I love your home and area it’s beautiful the fresh country air permeates through the screen into my living room. I hate town and built up area style living not my scene. You are both making the place even grander. Thank you for sharing
Dear Gail an Alex, I always wanted to tell you that I really enjoy the music choice in all your videos. Thank you for your work 💚
I was thinking exactly the same thing. You two have the recordings, music and other details down pat. Good on you. The music alone would take time just to find the “right” music. Well done ladies.
I really admire all your hard work and not a man in sight!
I’m always so excited when I see a new video… and so sad when it’s over 😅 Love, love, love your second channel!
ONE THING TO THINK ABOUT IF YOU TAKE THE CEILING DOWN YOU WILL LOOSE ALOT OF YOUR HEAT IN THE WINTER TIME ,TRYING TO KEEP IT WARM WILL COST MORE.
Yes it will! You would be surprised how much taking even a small ceiling down will cause heat loss.
it will also loosen up the floor boards above the ceiling! the wall board and the wood behind it add sructual stability!
The stone walls are absolutely beautiful, so glad you are taking the vegetation off of it. Just love this channel, keep up the good work.
The group of white moths are perhaps dancing fairies showing themselves to you for a short spell. Lovely dreamy thought. 🕊️
Dear lovely Ladies.
👍👌👏 Oh WOW, simply fantastic! What a wonderful calm and peaceful video. Great music too. Beautiful pictures of gorgeous landscapes. Very well done again. Congratulations 🎉. Thanks a lot for making explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and especially health to all involved life forms (humans, animals and plants).
The beams are beautiful oak, and in very good shape. That's a win for you!
My favorite two Scottish ladies living the absolute dream on land that, I swear, is a slice of heaven on earth! Oooooo exposing the beams in the kitchen... Oh yeah! I think that would look amazing. I just can't believe how beautiful the land is where you are. No wonder it is home base for where the tales of the fairies or fair folk come from.😘
we call the little tornadoes dust devils
You ladies have been working so hard, and it really shows. Everything is looking so beautiful, and the scenery is spectacular. I am very proud of all you have accomplished, and all you will continue to complete as you work your magic.
Wholesome to the core. Absolutely love when your vlogs arrive. From the beautiful vast scenery to the perfectly matched magical music & the hard graft you both put in. Also...cute calf alert 🥰 Your new bench is lovely 🤞🏻 to many happy hours sat on it. Enjoyed the time lapse too. Thank you for sharing 🙂
The cows are absolutely beautiful. So healthy. My dad raised East Texas cattle and he took such pride in the way that they looked. Your farm is wonderful.
Do you ever just stop and sing with the birds . I luv the video’s of you singing. The projects are ending like daily chores UGH !! Luv the bench 😊❤
Your land is sooo beautiful!
You should get or rent some goats to take care of your grass and landcovers! 🐐🐐🐐
Lovely bench! Now you need a nice pillow! Do you sew?
I usually refuse to watch the commercials but for you I'll watch. I do wish TH-cam would match the ads with the show subjects better.
You drone shots are magical! My people left Southern Scotland - were forced out - 8 generations ago and made it to Ontario Canada! Leaving such great beauty and not knowing to where must have been horrible.
We call those mini tornadoes - dust devils
What a lovely, peaceful vlog! Such a beautiful place. I’m a Scot and it filled my heart with pride! 💙 Thanks for sharing! 😊🌻
The Mystery of the White Moth Convergence
OMG - Glad you did not find anything up there except empty space. exposing the beams would be a nice touch to an old homestead indeed
The male Shwoo is so big and beautiful now!
You could just do 30 min of drone footage with Scottish music.....amazing!
The video of the countryside is absolutely beautiful.
How kind, such a lovely gesture! You will have to give them some advertising!! 👍👍👍👍👍💗💗💗
In western Texas, we call those tiny spiraling updrafts "dust devils". Of course, we have more than enough dust when it's hot enough to make tmem, to make them very visible.
A really lovely episode! I thoroughly enjoyed watching and you both worked really hard and it must have been back breaking so take some time out and relax on that truly stunning bench! Thanks again for sharing!
The moths are beautiful!
Gail, I was thinking how much better it would be to park the wheelbarrow underneath the log bench, but you came up with a great solution to the logs falling to the ground.
Alex, your yellow overalls are so cheery and pretty, just like you!
My dream is to come to your homeland Scotland one day, I have been to England with a dear sweet friend
Omg! Happy cats, peacocks and peahens what more can you ask for?.
LoveLoveLOVE ❤❤ your new Channel! I Hope you get Hundreds of Thousands new subscribers!! LOVE the Drone shots and Celtic type music..... I rewound it soooo many times! 😊❤❤
Lovely beams. Lots of hidden treasures in your home.
Love the bench plus I think exposing the beams would be beautiful.
Hard work ladies, but well worth the trouble. The wild part where the long grass grows was so pretty, with all the dancing white moths. A great insect pasture, keeping the circle of life going, in all its forms. I bet the Shwoo's love mooching there, for tasty morsles.
Loved the garden chair you bought. What a random thing to happen.
As for the ceiling in the kitchen. Definitely get that plaster board out. The beams will look beautiful.
This was such a peaceful watch. Awe and the cows at the end, were so sweet. Full of interest and curiosity. Xxx
Love watching you two working on your homestead
Have you done a video on your backgrounds, how long you’ve lived like this, what is your income stream from, and what made you decide on Scotland? I have enjoyed watching both channels, but find that the whole story would make them even more interesting.
I totally agree yes please fill us in on the whole back story of how you ladies came to live there
Love the Easter island head!!! That’s great!!!
The white moths are actually fairies.😊
Alex looks so nice in those dungarees!🥰
You live in such a beautiful and magical location. I love your new bench. 🍂🍁🌻🐕🇺🇸
Always working. That's what keeps you looking so good! Regards UK. With ❤.
I laughed when the bench turned up and it was just what you had been wishing for.
Your efforts are really paying off and new life is breathed into the farm. I so enjoy your vlogs, the scenery and music are good for the soul. Thank you ladies. ❤
Was the bench a gift? Hmmm.
I like how the peacocks follow you around,keep up the good work ladies.xx
Looks like the moths you saw were male Ghost moths. They are white and the females are more straw yellow. They flutter around grasses at dusk. I've only ever had a couple here in Yorkshire. Taking the ceiling down will make the place colder, so while it mat well look pretty after a lot of hard work, it might not be a great idea in the current state of this country and the wider world. Lovely lovely channel. One of my absolute favourites.
The drone views are amazing. Your dedication of hard physical labor is going to look wonderful as well groomed lanscaping. Never my thing! My only interest would be spreading a few seeds and planting a few flower seedlings. Great work Gail and Alex. Kudos!
Wonderful, the Timelapse and drone footage was stunning. Thank you ❤
Beautiful find in the kitchen ceiling huge fan of wooden beams
Beautiful! Brilliant! Lovely! Hoow you must enjoy living in your countryside!
In Idaho we call them Dust Devils, hah one at our little farm the the other day, it was full of yellow leaves. Loved your video. All you need now is a puppy.
Where I'm from in the USA (Indiana), we call those little "tornadoes" Dust Devils. They are amazing to watch.
Swallowtail moth ?,lovely.
Oh crikey, that feeling when you start doing something you absolutely know you shouldn't i.e. making a hole in the ceiling!
Love the mini saw. I just got one and it's such a time and labor saver. 👍
I bought one years ago. It's my go to tool. Good for everything. I even use it to hack down weeds and grass. Nice and compact. 👍
I think those moths are Swift Moths, Alex. Great video as always from you both. Nice and tranquil viewing. Wish I lived somewhere like that. I like that Easter Island statue you have, too.
I love the bench. It was designed by Edward Lutyens. I made one in 1/12th scale. Love your videos. Thanks xxx
Thank you for sharing with us the beauty of the land around you! Great music choice too. One of my favorite videos you’ve done. The wall looks great. Your hard work and diligence has paid off. 👍🏻👍🏻😀❤️
Okay, you've got to explain the big stone head at about the 20 minute mark! 😮
beautiful footage of your landscape & sky. thanx
You can see a big major improvement well done ladies.
Love the bench it is the most welcoming bench i ever seen .It is very lovely❤😊
Will you please turn on the closed captions option. Sometimes it's hard to hear you and the cc would help. Thank you so much. Your channel is great.
She has no control of this.
Love your house and yard !!!!
We call those little tornedo's willy willy or dust devils. Love the seat. I'd leave the ceiling up. Glad the wall is getting exposed.
Beautiful filming, well done!
Thanks again you two. Really enjoyable as usual. I'll still be watching in ten or twenty years if you are still doing it. xx :)
All of it absolutely beautiful
We call those things dust devils. When I was a child I happened to be in the path of a rather large one that took my breath away. It was like it sucked the air out of my lungs. They were also known as whirlwinds. We often seen them on the farm.
Love the drone footage! The music is so beautifully soothing!your content makes me want to get off my a- - & go cut grass! Just as your mudlarking makes me want to get my hands dirty look for treasure like I did 30 years ago!Your so inspiring to say the least!Delora from N Cal. In the Sierra Nevada foothills famous for the 49 er gold rush3,000 ft up on 2 acres in a 100 year old cabin,bought it 30 years ago,I call it Gods country,that is what your place looks like!❤
What a beautiful property!!
VERY HARD WORKING LADYIES YARD LOOKS AWESOME ,CANT WAIT TO SEE IT IN THE SPRING TIME.
Amazing skywatch
Wonderful vlog, beautiful music, love the teak bench and all the drone work so nice!
Such a beautiful land
It ended too soon. I could look at your countryside all day.
beautiful landscape. Looks like a wonderful place to live
Beautiful country!
Your farm is beautiful and a lot of hard work. I truly admire your strength and fortitude.
Very pretty after all your hard work x
That was a hard work out with all the ivy roots. You's live in a wonderful place.
Such a beautiful surroundings
Beautiful scenery
Such a beautiful area you live in. How wonderful you got a garden bench. Really a lovely place to relax in after some hard work in the yard. 🌷🌱
Lol send the bench guy my way ❤😊
Love the channel. I like the music you produce on it too. I don’t know where it comes from that I haven’t bothered to look. You ladies know how to make a channel🥰🍀
Beautiful, thank you
Fun!
You have the most wonderful scenery there! I love the timelapse shots. A beautiful bench, I love it! Pruning your trees and bushes is hard work for sure! Great job!
Hello ladies, a beautiful vid, hard work and serendipity with the garden bench, just love cow's curiosity, I hope your life is as peaceful as it looks cheers!!🥰🥵🦚🐄🐮👍
Lovely episode, great drone shots! Thank you all for making and sharing this video!😊
English ivy can pull down structures and bark off of trees. In SE VA we cut it at the base and let it die before pulling it. Your house, land and animals are so lovely.
All your hard work on the wall really paid off, it looks beautiful! The new bench is gorgeous, I love the style of it and it so suits your garden. It looks like the animals have come to check you are doing the job properly! 😂 Lovely video Ladies 😀💖x
The place where you live is so beautiful and serene.
Yes take the ceiling down, expose those beautiful beams. So beautiful
11:40 it's a dust devil. Those can be common in the U.S. I got caught in one that was blowing autumn leaves around when I was a child and had a blast lol!
I want to live there.❤
If I where you I should put that thing a bit higher and put the barrel underneath so all the wood end up in it 😊 my motto nowdays when the years has past.. Simplify life as much I can 😅
Another great video girls know the place is looking great. Does the man on the tractor offer 2/4 Longgrass, perhaps you could give him some cordial Alex I love your drone work flying up and over your little castle and across the moors. If that’s what you say, maybe it’s Heather you do Good back lighting anyhow i’m going to watch the next one. Bye
Your girls are so busy! Nice to see you out and getting chores done! The garden bench is beautiful!
It’s all coming together beautifully, love the new bench. Hope you didn’t get all that rain and if you did you didn’t have any problems. Take care and thank you for sharing 👏🙏❤️
