I used to see her since 2018 several times...took the video home and looked at her many times...i loved her v. much...I am worried to her when she got aged. Is she alive now... I don't know why but i loved her...this is from Africa Ethiopia...Addis Ababa....
Margaret, good to see you in your beautiful cottage. I'm sure you have help from your family these days to bring in the water and do some outside work. I see you've added to your collection of books. You look to be in great shape and in good spirits. Carry on.
if there is no running water there can be no flush toilt.Do they have an outhouse or a chemical toilet as she has never mentioned the sanitary arrangements.
@@seeifficare I had the same question. Plus little details such as: how does she have a bath? Heating water and filling a tub is one thing but emptying it could be a back breaker. And why did no one think to add a chimney cap so the rain doesn't come down directly on the fire...and how cold are those floors in the winter time, I see no rugs...
I just watched the 1992 video yesterday and I have been enthralled with her story. To find this newer upload today is wonderful! I love her lifestyle! I hope she realizes how special she is to people like me out there in the world!!! Thank you for the upload!
My Dad grew up in the house his Father designed and built 4 rooms Kitchen and living room and 2 bedrooms upstairs. The wood for the house came out of the woods on his land. I've never heard the term vernacular architecture before. I just knew I grew out of my grandfather's house when I was about 12 because he only made the doorways taller than him. lol
If only I had teachers in high school taught history like her, I would have done so much better in school. Lol. She makes learning about things interesting. I need to make a trip over to Ireland soon since it is of my heritage. May you live a long life Ms Margaret!!! 🇮🇪
@@nikitab92 Lol! Obviously I'm not on here much! But in answer to your question, let's go! My plan is to go in 2024 to visit Ireland then scoot down to Germany to visit relatives and top it off with a visit to England as I have two dogs I'm following on RUclips to meet. It's on my bucket list! 🙂
Congratulations, Margaret. I've just included you into my exclusive 1942 club. It seems to have been an extraordinary year for exceptional people and you richly deserve membership..
Watching May 2020. This is the fifth video I have watched about Margaret and her life. I started with the 1992 video. I too wonder about the bath and toilet and sanitation for the cottage? As far as I know Margaret is still alive and well and living in her home in 2020. 👏🏻 Thank you Margaret for sharing your life and for those that added the videos to RUclips so people like me in Australia could learn about her life. As many of us spread across the globe, I have Irish heritage and wonder about how they lived many years ago. Many Blessings. x
Is Margaret Gallagher still alive and well still living in her nice cottage. As I would very much like to meet her this year. I think she is amazing. Cheers Neil
Yes, she is still alive, and I assume she is at her cottage. You could call in at the Market House in Blacklion to see if and when she is receiving visitors.
Margaret lives in the country. You might be able to take a taxi to her house. Margaret at Market House in Blacklion has the details. Blacklion is across the bridge from Belcoo and an easy walk. The area is rural, and it is best to rent a car or bring one with you.
Thank you very much.. I just feel her life is amazing I have watched Al her videos what people have put on youchube. So is she still having visitors. And I have never been to Belcoo and was thinking off having a little holiday at Belcoo depending on the Corner virus. I have wonted to meet Margaret Gallagher for tree year's now. Can I ask what is public transport like in Belcoo and how to get there when arriving in Ireland. I live in Newcastle Upon Tyne and love travelling and always wanted to go to Ireland and Belcoo and see all the thing's Margaret talked about. It would be brilliant and to meet her to would be lovely. So do you make an appointment with someone like you. I am thinking September or October. Cheers Neil
Margaret is in great form. She only needs to mind the cottage. I don't think she has a farm. If she does, she could do it on her own, but she may enjoy the cmpany of a nephew.
I wish there were more Margaret Gallagher videos. I love her story and Ireland is so beautiful.
Have you watched the documentary about her filmed in the 1990s ? I watched it yesterday 😀
Have you seen the "Living off the land at 75" one on here? She's 75 in that one.
I used to see her since 2018 several times...took the video home and looked at her many times...i loved her v. much...I am worried to her when she got aged. Is she alive now... I don't know why but i loved her...this is from Africa Ethiopia...Addis Ababa....
BELEYOU Mammo she is still alive :)
NOSMO king it’s wonderful
Margaret...a beautiful woman, so interesting and knowledgeable. May you enjoy your home and life for many more years. Thank you
I noticed she’s had to add a gate, I wonder her privacy wasn’t being infringed on. So glad she’s still going strong. Bless you Margaret.
The gate has been there for many years.
Margaret Gallagher, you are blessed. You have accomplished what few would do entering the work force late in life. You inspire me!
Margaret, good to see you in your beautiful cottage. I'm sure you have help from your family these days to bring in the water and do some outside work. I see you've added to your collection of books. You look to be in great shape and in good spirits. Carry on.

Cheers to you Magraret Gallengher.
Your life and heritage are of beauty without compare ...
Live long and in good health in this lovely cottage home .
The good life, a good book, a good fire in the hearth and those beautiful views and free of modern distractions like tv and mobile phones.
See her beauty & tears of joy fall from eyes!

Lovely Irish thatch cottage.
Lovely story reminds me of when I was growing up in Ireland 70 years ago
I’ve always wanted to meet this lovely lady! What a treat you had by being able to pay her a visit.
I hope you visit. You will have a wonderful time.
If only I had teachers in high school taught history like her, I would have done so much better in school. Lol. She makes learning about things interesting. I need to make a trip over to Ireland soon since it is of my heritage. May you live a long life Ms Margaret!!! 🇮🇪
I totally agree with you! And...I would love to take a trip over there as well!! Wanna go after Covid 19 calms down?!

Congratulations, Margaret. I've just included you into my exclusive 1942 club.

Thats because 1942 was Chinese year of the Horse...brave, lively, spirited people (from a 1978 horse person).
Great Irish woman.what a life and thank goodness for no tv.
She considers herself British...unfortunately
Jerry James lmao no she doesn’t
@madmoiselle007 She was awarded an M.B.E (Member of the British Empire) an Irish person in N.Ireland wouldn’t except it.
@@nigecheshire9854 That's not strictly true Nigel.

Another good thing about covid. Finding videos like this instead of watching tv . Have to do something in lockdown as we are gheeze.
so Interesting!!

Good woman Margaret

Would be delighted to know Margaret's recipe for bread. Please and thank you.
Nice video
Loved her Is she alive? Asking from Africa...love Ireland very much...
She has the same birthday as my mother had, although 11 years apart :)
My mom too!!😊
My mom was born in the same month and day! January 26th!
nice cottage..
Nice cottage
I’d love to see more videos on her
Is she still alive? What a wonderful life she lived!
Yes, She is well.
Thank you is Margaret still alive ? Did her nephew help her with the farm?
Margaret is in great form. She only needs to mind the cottage. I don't think she has a farm. If she does, she could do it on her own, but she may enjoy the cmpany of a nephew.

sorry but i couldnt hear or understand what she was talking about. i only caught a few things here & there so had to pass by.
I recognise your way of life its home
Our mothers aunt was irish
She considers herself British
Too bad the audio isn't the best, I can't hear/ understand very well.
May I ask if we could know Margaret's mother's maiden name? My husband's family are from that area and I wonder if they are related.
I don't. You could write to her at Belcoo, County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. She would get the letter.
I see there is an article about Margaret in the Irish Times of June 29th 2019. Here she tells us that her mother was Winifred McGrath.
@@JaneGilgun Thank you
Is Margaret still alive
Does Margaret receive mail?
I imagine so. You could ring the Market House in Blacklion to get her address in Belcoo.
I noticed it said Mrs Margararet Gallagher on the certificate on the wall signed by Tony Blair. Was she ever married?
happily single
There are some lovely photos in this Guardian article:
www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/gallery/2019/aug/16/living-off-grid-77-years-in-pictures
Americans think all of Ireland is like this.
The video is very difficult to watch
Did she say she was born 1912.?
1942
