Visiting Granny's Cottage 

This cottage needs to be restored to its natural beauty. I'm thinking most of the original stone is still laying all around this property...what beautiful views!! What a blessing it is to be living near your family's home cottage ..!

So beautiful! How lovely to see visit your Granny`s cottage. It is so sad that it could not be saved.

How lovely that you are able to have a relationship to the land your ancestors lived on and be able to visit the old house. Stunning scenery, Terri.

It amazes me that your shorelines are so open. Here in the states every inch of shore line has a rich persons home on it. Its truly so beautiful to see that view.

Beautiful scenery and family history 💕

I’m glad that you are continuing to live close to the earth. Thank you for showing us your ways

A hard life ,but one filled with purpose and lived in harmony with nature and the seasons.Most of us (including me) couldn't cope with that degree of hardwork and deprivation,but my admiration for those who did is unbounded

I have no idea why this touched my spirit to deeply. I could not keep myself from crying.

Beautiful memories.

Thank you so much for sharing your family story. I really love your channel, sharing your knowledge & beautiful land🌿💜💚💜

I love the gentle rolling, grassy seaside on the way to your Granny's.

What an amazing place!! So wonderful that the house is still there.

I love your cardigan.

I really enjoyed this one. I completely agree with everything you said about what makes people happy and healthy. Having all kinds of luxuries doesn’t necessarily make us happier. Having to work a bit for things like water and warmth and food keep us sharp and strong. Simple is always better. Thanks again for a great video!

It’s beautiful... I can just imagine how lovely it must have been as meager as their lifestyle must have been...thank you for sharing this. In my view...less is more...

So wonderful to have a place to connect with ancestors. I can just picture children wild and free, the wind in their hair running along the shore looking for treasures. Thank you for sharing with us. 🤗

Wonderful! Loved Seeing Everything & Hearing about Past Times. The Sky was So Blue, really lifted my Spirit in these Dark Times....Thank You Ever so for this Video, Sending Love to you Terri & Your Camerman & My Ancestral Home ☘💚☘

I was raised in the south of the US during the 1940s. Mama used to buy her flour and other staples in cotton sacks to use to make our clothes. Some of the time she would take a scrap of cloth with her so she could try and match fabrics. It was not uncommon to see little girls in schoolrooms with dresses in different styles but all made from the same fabric print. We were raised with the phrase, "Waste not; want not". I still live like that at 82 years old.

Such a beautiful place peaceful

thank you for sharing your life with us.

Thank you. The frugal living reminds me of the old saying "Waste not want not".

Thank you for taking us on this ancestral field trip. I love learning about a place that pulls at my heart so strongly. Blessings to you

Terri, You are a most amazing and beautiful person... Thank you so so much for sharing your thoughts, your herbal expertise and your appreciation for the beauty and history of the Earth.. Thank you

What a beautiful landscape!

Just beautiful thank you for sharing.

To live a frugal life would not do any of us any harm today. I think quite a lot of us make do and mend in all sorts of ways. We are fortunate indeed compared to our ancestors. I'm of an age I remember my mother unpicking jumpers to knit up again. If we were taught kindness and value.....we were taught well x

Thank you for sharing your grandmother's home. Very beautiful, love the thick walls and such an incredible view.

Thank you for this amazing tour! I'm so glad you were able to document this lovely ruined cottage and tell us how your family and grandmother lived and grew up!

This was super interesting! Thank you for sharing the tour of your grandmother's home she grew up in, and sharing the history!

Thank you so much for sharing your memories with us

....love your grannys cottage - they were the cream of the humanity crop....so frugal and inventive, they had the fortitude to make the best of being on Earth, it's a beautiful spot, thank you for sharing it and a bit about your family history....Loved it!!! It would be cool to spend the night there, see the stars and feel the energies throughout the night hours. Glorious! Are you ever tempted to plant something there among the bare grounds? Your camera person is excellent - great job to you both!!

Wow Terri how moving for you to be here.Incredible lives lived at your Granny’s cottage 🙏🏼🌀

Flour sack dresses is what they were called here in Oregon USA. My Mom talked about the family doing this.

Wow, this is incredible! I can just imagine your family in the cottage taking care of one another stoking the fire and preparing meals. It’s a shame it’s falling down. Pretty incredible 😌🌛🌝🌜

Amazing, thank you.

Just beautiful.

Wonderful, rich history. The landscape is beautiful. My mind thinks, if the rocks could speak. Thanks so much for sharing.

You are a girl after my own heart - this was enchanting - rich. That cottage is a fixer upper but it can be done - there is a vibe Teri even on video that reaches out and touches spirit. Thank you for this and have a wonderful 2021 x

Thank you for the lovely tour of your grandmother's childhood home. I especially enjoyed your reflections on reusing materials and being resourceful. Thank you!

Lovely!

❤️such treasure and what a preciouse story! Thank you for sharing. Its no bad thing that we have comforts these days, but we sure could learn a lot if we would just listen to our ancestors.

this makes me wonder if my ancestors cottages are still standing... I love it

Lovely! 💕

Thank You for sharing!

Thank you for sharing! I find this very interesting!

So beautiful and peaceful on such a day as that, I can imagine the drama of high seas and storms too, it is truly a blessing to be able to be there and experience the land like that, especially as it literally is the land of your grandparents. Than you for sharing 🙏

Hi, from sa, it's just too cute for words..yes I also think they were much happier than we are today, and they had all this good natural goods and yes they where much healthier . .It must be so nice to be able to go to and visit cottage of grandmother. .It wish, I was there..looks lovely. Blessings.

Beautyfull. It tells me how we live. And today is all what counts. Thank you for sharing ❤🙏

Just came upon your videos. I can’t stop watching. I had the sense that the spirits of your ancestors were just a breath away. If I felt it just watching I am sure you were just filled with their spirit. Thank you for this glimpse of life long past. Blessings from Oklahoma USA.

This is absolutely fabulous, Terri. My great grandfather was a fisherman here and made his way to Canada. I am from the U.S, have been here in Dublin almost 20 yrs. Ancestors call? Thank you for your brilliance. I implore you to discuss Hy Brasil. It would be appreciated. I had a literal physical witness all over when you said it. The timing of the showing is key in my opinion. The Mother speaks...much love. Sorry for the edit, but the bird just scatted my bedroom window...lol

I would have loved to have lived back then . I think I did in a past life. Right now we have been without power since wensday due to a winter storm so we're heating what we can with 2 burners in the stove and I've got plenty of candles. Which I'll have to stick back up after this .

Very sweet

I would absolutely love to live in a little stone cottage like that. Some of my ancestors probably did before they left Ireland for America. My dream is to buy some land in the forest here and a tiny house as well. Will I'm young enough to still enjoy the land. That'll need to be soon. 😂

Ireland is good for the soul

Thank you for showing us🙏🏽🍀

Looks so calm.the view is stunning

Very pleasurable! The history is fascinating and the cottage lovely. The sun, beach, the wind blowing, makes feeI transported. Looking forward to the next video🥰 Kathleen & Sisi (the pup)

Just what I needed to soothe my soul xx

Beautiful spot and love to connect to the past too and hear the way people survived in these extreme conditions and as you say we do have too much stuff these days and often it is taken for granted. the remains of the cottage are windows into another time. thank you for sharing!

Thanks for sharing your grand mother's house.It really wonderful that it stands today it's lovely the area around looks so inviting.🥰

Beautiful place, sad the elements have damaged it so. I remember stories of my grandmothers and great grandmothers using the flour and grain sacks for clothing too. The country side is so rugged with all the stones. Thank you for sharing.

What a wonderful visit.

Terri, I’m so glad you shared such a special place with us. I absolutely loved it. I could just see your sweet hard working, busy family inside that precious cottage. The passing of time is something I think of often, and see it as such a bittersweet thing. It’s wonderful, but heartbreaking at the same time. I’m so glad you are still able to still go there and just be. I appreciate the chance to visit with you ❤️

Your videos are a very welcome reprieve right now. Thank you, Deb.

Hi Terrie, nice to see your agin ,I live in a cottage , I always thank for people lived there before us we dint change much we want to keep the Way it was I feel a lovely Sprite in the house and garden Thank you to showing us your granny’s house . Have a Healthy happy 2021 lots of love .

Beautiful scenery there seems to be a few cottages around your Grandmother's lovely for you to visit it too xx

It would be so cool if you could make a summer home there.

Thanks for showing your special place and where your ancestors lived you can feel the energy and your detail about the seaweed I found fascinating.Next time I’m near the sea I will have a good look for this type of medicinal seaweed .

It is very special to have that physical connection. What a magical spot and beautiful weather this day. TY for the teaser on the seaweed. Look forward, as always, to the next one. Blessings on your house. Maureen

Awesome great video, sad to see the entire village returning to the earth.

Very informative lovely show and of course we’ll be back!

Very special Terri, thanks for sharing. And we definitely can do without a lot of stuff.

I happen to come apron your you tube videos today and have watched and saved several already. I appreciate your approach so very much. Thank you for sharing your gift. Barbara

This gave me all the feels. Thank you so much for sharing.

Wonderful video, loved it thank you

This was spectacular tour, thank you for sharing it! When I travel these are the things I like to see, and hear about, again Thank you.

So stark yet so beautiful.

That was lovely. Thanks for sharing that. It is so interesting to think how people lived in the past. We have so much to learn from them. ♡

Hello Terri Thank you for the tour! What a rich interesting heritage your family has.

I have to say that I feel like this new age life im living is not where my soul truly belongs. Places such as this remind me more than ever how far we've come as a people away from the natural way of life despite all of the positive of new age. Someday I hope to visit "home" although its unclear yet if that is Irish or Scottish. I'm so glad you shared this🙂

Lovely video - thank you.

I just discovered your youtube channel and I'm fascinated by your content

Really enjoyed this video with the great footage of your beautiful area. Looking forward to your next one!

Such a beautiful landscape. How wonderful that you have a link with it. I really enjoy your videos and the information about herbal uses.

nice thoughts of an earlier time

Hi Terri, my McAndrew and Daugherty family came from county Mayo and were fishermen and net makers I was told. I visited a cottage that was where my great (?) grandmother Daugherty came from, had a view of the coast just like yours in the video! This brought back memories of when I visited it. Soon I will be living in an old stone cottage in the Scottish Borders and I can't wait! I need to learn how to do lime mortar pointing as the house and byre need upkeep. Love your videos!

Terry you speak sense blessings from Co Down. in Ballyhalbert on the coast the waves could have been so high the water sometimes when down the chimneys and put the fires out

High brazil 🙏 love to hear more 😉

Hallo from Holland! I totally agree with you there. My grandparents were from Surinam and when I look at their photographs I see two people who were proud of their achievements. My gran,by the time of her 50th year, had 16 children of which a good many died young, but she managed to keep most alive with the little she had and earning extra by doing rich people's washing, selling homemade cornmeal porridge and occasionally selling one of my grandfather's hats. My grandfather literally built his own house with wood and self-made stones. He had a little plot of land where he grew vegetables, potatoes and rice. We are all indebted to them. Thank you so much for your beautiful video! May you be blessed!

Yes I think restoring the cottage is a good idea.

I've just spent a lovely day watching all your videos. I'd already seen a few but today has been special. I've learned so much from you and recieved inspiration too. Your knowledge is priceless, things that all our grandparents would have known which has been lost to most members of society today. Everything is fast and wanted now, the very idea of preparing for future needs is alien to so many. A very unhealthy way to live, as these scary times have shown us. We live in a time when we have more material possessions than ever before yet there are more mental health issues, sadness and discontent than ever. You are so right in what you say, the challenges, frugal ways of living and preparations made us appreciate everything we had. Of course it was a hard life but people are no happier today I'm absolutely certain. Thankyou for sharing your Grandmother's home with us today, it was an honour to visit with you. Blessings to you xXx

Simpler but hard life...but not so stressful as today......its sounds contradictory but is true!

Hi Terri 🙋🏻‍♀️ just what I needed with my coffee, 🤗 after an icy slide in the car to the nearest place for organic eggs/groceries before more snow arrives and blocks us in. Who owns the land now? What a fabulous location, but as you said tough going. I would gleefully romanticise about it and the simplicity, but having utilities helps now so much saving time and effort, we are stretched too much as demand is put on us from a million directions in other ways. An interesting vote of who now would go back and embrace that, or stay in the modern world? I’m torn! 😄Xx

Did you learn some of your healing knowledge from your Granny? In the states there is an old saying: "A man's work goes from sun to sun, a woman's work is never done." I think much of happiness comes from expectations, the people of those times likely didn't expect much beyond home and a meal on the hearth, and the hope to see their grandchildren. I'm pretty sure you brought much happiness to your Granny. Thanks for sharing this lovely place with us.

Thank you for this generous trip to your Granny's house. Lovely to think of her as a young woman starting out with her husband, and all the ensuing years with their inevitable joys and sorrows.

Lovely old cottage Terri. It's great to have that connection with the area. I only heard about the island of Brasil recently but we won't spoil the surprise.

Lovely, so peaceful feeling watching this video. Thank you. Can't wait for the next one. Were the roof of seashore cottages made with thatch or something different for strength. I've always loved Irish cottages since I was a young girl. Would love to have 3 foot deep windows and walls. I would be happy in an old Irish cottage. Thank you Terri and Lol . I'm going to enjoy it for a 3ed time. Peace and blessings to all 💕

And neighbors looked after eachother.

Thans 🙏

I have eaten corrageen moss as a jelly come pudding and it’s also very good for stomach problems.
