​@@heroedeleyenda05 Ruth Watson is an absolute bloater. Look at the size of her, she must be 20 stones!

The place is in a really bad state now though

thanks!

I think It will turn around when she passes unfortunately. However I respect her for restoring it and laying the foundations in the first place.

She’s not introverted she’s antisocial. Maybe you should look up what introverted actually means instead of what modern idiots think.

@@themadplotter calm down, why are you so quick to anger?

i think she is beyond introvert. to me she seems to be in the autistic spectrum.

@heroedeleyenda05 Maybe he is anti-social too!

Ruth immediately recognized mental illness and abandoned her hardline business approach. A good number of owners of these manors are a little bit daft, but can usually be dealt with practically and logically. Not so Cornelia and Ruth was insightful of this from the start.

In what way do you mean 😏

The way Ruth deals with Cornelia is amazing ?! By sweeping her obvious mental issues under the rug and pretend everything will be OK ?!

@heroedeleyenda05 What should she have done? She not a therapist and the programme is about rescuing houses….

I’m sure she would welcome your building that bird room on the property for the sake of those birds if you so be inclined.

a gazebo like building with walls and insulation but windows but not get too hot may be best from the dust they can generate, unsure on a greenhouse, in letting them be about, probably need to trim their flight feathers to not fly, but to hop xp many considerations. but basically, a bit detached from the house if possible, vs anything floating to the rugs and furniture, well, had a different type of parrot, but me and my dad were a bit concerned with the dust which seemed to be alive... so yea, less work on house upkeep is probably good.

I was shocked they were in the state they were in and one has a broken beak :/ they're tropical birds, they need sunlight, and lots of it, not total darkness & chicken coops.

As well as the welfare of the birds the chance for humans to contract psittacosis from them is high.

@@safarygirl There are plenty of rooms, for the birds to have one with sunlight. But have to say Cornelia loves them and is protecting them the best she can, she feels her birds like herself, would rather be left alone. But even though they do need some light, and to see other birds out a window, perhaps, but she may know them better than we do, and am sure they could make alot of noise and also be dirty and take alot of cleaning behind them. I think keeping up what she is doing now is too much for her?

Pity she never bathes.......see cleaning show from last year

Yeah, and doesn’t look after them poor birds...

Too bad she can't save her relationship with her estranged son .. Hopefully he gets the house after the old bag kicks the bucket

@@edmonddantes5104 She seems to just go on TV programmes so other people can deal with her mess. She was on another programme where cleaners had to come in and clean up years of dirt that she hadn't bothered cleaning herself. Between that and relying on some dope of a naive ex paying for her utilities, she just very selfishly does what she likes and lets other people foot the bill for it. Good to see other people like yourself can see the reality and not indulge in praising her selfish fantasy existence.

I couldn't agree more!

But in reality the house survives thanks to the free help of others, who do not do such stupid things!

look at how she keeps the birds, in a dirty dungeon. no person with any empathy would do that. Corneila is not O.K. I don't care how much stuff she accumulated.

Copy of my comment: *How many Judge this woman?* Not one has any foundation to do so, she lives as her nature flows. *...and You are incorrect, let me explain.*. You will realize the value of this point, for I'm not Judging you for Judging, that would rather be a twist of the same. Ruth is precious! 💖 The exception to my statement would be: "Oh she needs to get real and be responsible." I declare: She is responsible, responsible to her inner desires. That in fact is the key of where our own focus would be best served. For all those whom consider themselves so correct in their judgement are more correctly, following their "learned through influences (parents, schools, religions, government, and Mainstream News Medias), those "Society deems as what we are supposed to adhere to and What others think". That is unknowingly the actual reference of "sheepel' the being manipulated to do what others want and profit from. The fact is "Quantum Physics Science Defined in the "Universal Law of Attraction ", for absolutely 99.9% of what we experience as reality "We create through our": *"Thoughts+ Feelings X Beliefs"* *= Reality"* Air: (Thoughts and Feelings are Energy and it Vibrates on a Frequency) The measure of this Frequency is: (lowest being Fear, followed by hate, anger, guilt, etc) (Highest being Love, Joy, Laughter, Creative, Passions, Compassion, Inspirations, Wellbeing ... etc) The Lower, aka negative is fully associated with our Lower Mind, aka Ego Mind. *The Higher aka Positive associated with our Higher Mind aka Mature Mind.* "Conscious in Thought" + "Applying Higher Mind" is key.

I agree She has created a masterpiece from a rotten shell

But she's so unclean, she needs a bath and a haircut badly. I wouldn't stay there just from the looks of her and her hygiene.

I'm just sorry for the birds

so far the house still stands, but the owner is not doing very well. luckily it will be handed down to a trust after her death so that the house can continue to be cared for. there is a show that did an update on her 2 years ago. it seems that its closed for everything except the hounted house tours. the owners remaining income is that, and her pension. the owner seems to be in a bad state, she claims she hasnt showered in 3 years. and she the friends of the house seem to not be around anymore. this is the title of the video if youre interested in looking for it: Owner Hasn't Washed In 3 YEARS! | Obsessive Compulsive Cleaners Country House Rescue | Filth

Yes, I thought that, they need to be in the Sunlight. They get deficient in vitamin D

Yes. What pleasure does it offer to her to have such ”jailbirds” captured there.

I know parrots are literally more social birds from rainforest with high sun conditions then you drag them.....to the cellars? Of your life? Don't keep a pet.

Sounds like ANIMAL ABUSE!!!

@@nikagantz9663 ANIMAL ABUSE CONTROL NEEDS TO BE CALLED TO TAKE THE PARROTS

LOL I thought the same! What a creative, though, and talented woman! Such a daunting task to save this home and transform it into a wonderland of beauty, art, and history. God Bless her.

Aw....yes. Charles Dickens' Great Expectations

She could have provided outfits for fancy dress parties and to the local theatre too, if someone would catalogue and organise it all for her.

@@eliakimjosephsophia4542 Great idea!

one has a broken beak, definitely need sunlight and lots of it, they're tropical birds. they need their area completely cleaned out, it was quite filthy and dark. having huge parrots in chicken coops is insanity.

Yes she had an eye for art and antiques but there was no business head on those shoulders. Those poor birds though...

Right. I was thinking the very same thing.

She said from £100 to the thousands, NOT just £100 to £1,000. She also said it was dependent on how much of the house is used. Furthermore, this was filmed 13 years ago.

luckily it seems the owner was still alive and taking care of the house in 2022. she would have been 81 years old then. A different show has a recent episode featuring the house. it seems that its closed for everything except the hounted house tours. the owners remaining income is that, and her pension. the owner seems to be in a bad state, she claims she hasnt showered in 3 years. and she the friends of the house seem to not be around anymore. this is the title of the video if youre interested in looking for it: Owner Hasn't Washed In 3 YEARS! | Obsessive Compulsive Cleaners Country House Rescue | Filth

YES. I stayed in an incredible B&B guesthouse in Glastonbury last year and it was similar in that the owner was an avid collector; all things Gothic, mystical and Pagan. She used to live in London but moved to Glastonbury where she found a house large enough to accommodate all her many books, paintings, pictures, curios, stuffed animals, artifacts etc. It was stuffed to the gunnels (all cleaned and dusted though!) A veritable treasure trove of stuff. It too was haunted! Sadly the owner died about 3 and a half years ago but she'd arranged beforehand that her home could be used as a B&B. We could read the books, play the instruments, borrow the Tarot cards etc but everything had to be returned to its spot. Nothing could be moved... or sold.... as I discovered, when I offered to buy the walking staff I borrowed for my hikes. This lady's portrait hangs in the entrance hall above the piano. Plas Teg needs one of Cornelia.

That’s actually an incredible show concept! But unfortunate to hear that she’s deteriorating

@rspca_official The birds, parrots in this property in Wales were/are kept in the cellar, broken beak, dark, cold, damp, little light, filthy. The owner still lives here 2022. I don't know if she still has parrots/birds. She has also featured on obsessive compulsive cleaner for extreme poor conditions, cleanliness of home.

@@leafy803 I KNEW I recognized her. It seems like she adapts to the TV concepts, though. Here she is clean, people are cleaning there, no grime as in OC.Taping couldn't be too far apart. The birds are another story.. But my experience with people like Cornelia is that they love animals to death, but can't grasp the responsibility on owning them. Then they love them so much they can't give them up, either. Sad.

She's let the place fall into disrepair,it's absolutely filthy as she hasn't cleaned it in at least 15 years

@@heroedeleyenda05 Thank you for catching up on Cornelia and her house. This is so, so sad. I am afraid this dream home proved some kind of doom for her. Too much to take on at this stage of her life. She should have been around people having fun. She clearly is depressed and needs medical attention.

@seagull5000 you're welcome! Yes, i believe she probably has some undiagnosed mental health issues that she has ignored for a while. I think more than her demise, the house has been a way to isolate herself and run away from her issues, not realising that her issues are within her. I think if she hadnt bought the house she would have found another distractions, shopping, drinking, gambling, etc. Thankfully she found something less destructive than that. I have another comment in the maint comment feed here, that has a lot more insight (i did a real deep dive on her) Would you mind liking that comment so that more people can see it?

This must be way before the cleaners came. She's much more presentable in this the house is not so unkempt or her for that matter and her mental health in this is stronger

@@davecrewe9074 This my update from research. Copy/pasting my comment - I think the place went rapidly downhill after this, apart from the Sunday tours because I watched an episode of 'Filth' earlier titled 'Owner hasn't washed in 3 years'. This would bring us to 2013. The house looked very neglected and pretty filthy - rather like the grimy basins shown here. The people there, then had ideas for using it as a wedding venue and it seems, according to Trip Advisor, that it actually opened for staying guests alongside the guided tours. Reviews were good on the whole. Plas Teg apparently closed for repairs in 2022.... I do hope this beautiful building and its contents can once again be shown to the world. Cornelia is an amazing, albeit eccentric, lady and single-handedly has done wonders to keep this place going...

In 2013, out of the ‘Friends of Plas Teg’, Love My Wales was founded and worked with Cornelia to develop her vision for the future of the house and garden to bridge the gap between National Trust handover. To coincide with Cornelia’s 80th birthday in 2021, it’s name was changed to Plas Teg Trust. ...I found this on the South Wales Argus website.

I read one of the comment . 2022 was closed to the public for further renovations

She’s passed, there’s a go fund me now because they need $10k in repairs. It’s closed to the public until someone can take it over.

that was filmed in 2015? i thought it was from 2021

Yes! I remember seeing that as well. Cornelia was throughly unpleasant and defended the filth. She actually liked it that way.

work ethic?

Too bad your father did not specify leaving it to you in his will.

My dad left me not a dime… unless family took it

Well it did, in an episode of 'Filth' titled 'Owner hasn't washed for 3 years' and doubt she had. Her hands were very dirty. She had no water or the means to heat it as the boiler had packed up and subsisted on a microwaved cheese pasties. Things went downhill after this was filmed but later, picked up again and it was then opened to staying guests according to Trip Advisor. It's been closed for repairs since 2022.... apparently.

Sadly so. "I don't like meeting people that I don't know". My dear lady, if you never meet them, how will you ever get to know them? This comes from introvert misanthrope. A regretful one.

Fair go! If Cornelia had not restored Plas Teg, it would be in ruins today!!

Ikr she mentioned Ruth living there twice 😅

Goverment of Wales gave Cornelia a sum of £200,000 back when she bought the place in the 80's. That's a huge amount of money now, imagine it in the 80's lol.

I watched that one too. Earlier. Things did buck up for her after that show as her place opened to paying guests - see Trip Advisor.

@@wakingtheworld hi, could you post some info on how I could find her trip advisor page plase? thank you!

yes, that is sad to hear. luckily someone else made a post here, that the house will be given to a non profit after her death, so hopefully it will be taken care of. if ruth still lives, she must be 83 years old by now, so i dont see her being with us for much longer, specially seeing her condition on the "filth" show. but who knows, she also seems resilient. the best thing i can hope for is that she finds peace in her latter years, and that the house and her cats are taken care of after she's gone.

@@heroedeleyenda05I've checked and there is no listing for Plas Teg now, probably because it's well & truly closed. I seem to remember they said it was closed for repairs or somesuch, so Trip Advisor assumed it would reopen once completed. When I looked through the photos & read the reviews, the place was vastly improved - still full of character pieces though - and most people had had a lovely stay; wowed by the place and happy with their accommodation and the food. Some picked up on cleanliness not being up to scratch and it certainly wasn't a patch on the swish wedding venue featured on the OCD cleaners video 'Filth' which brought me to this one. Like yourself I hope this place will be restored and taken care of and that she does indeed find peace. Resilient probably sums her up!

The place is in a total mess as her .entail behaviour got so much worse, she hasn't bathed in 3 years and the house hadn't been cleaned in at least a decade

There were mostly good ones but depends how fussy you are maybe. Place has now closed for repairs apparently (2022). It featured in an episode of 'Filth' called 'Owner hasn't washed in 3 years' and that was an eyeopener.

Corporate retreats, thete must be a ballroom where people could have yoga retreats, meditation retreats, weddings w/receptions and rehearsal dinners, paranormal investigations, TV paranormal shows, so many ways so make money!

Cornelia is a brilliant and cool woman, but she's too afraid to let people enjoy the house. She needs to open her mind and allow herself to relax around opening her home. It's the only way to let the home continue when she's gone. And I'm sorry people stole antiques. Put up cameras and remember, they are things. I know they are expensive and can't be replaced, however if that's ultimately, why you aren't keeping the house up and someone has an accident because of a faulty whatever, she stands to lose more. And the whole gas burner thing is just crazy! Modern space heaters with thermostats in the rooms she uses would be more effective and less expensive. Her eccentricities are stunting possibilities that could help her get what she actually wants, care of the house after she's gone.

Do you have the same passion for the abused children in your country? Maybe you should be pressiring your local police who are turning a blind eye due to concerns of offending South Asians.
