    Every few years I come back searching for Hannah on YT as I find her such an inspiring and comforting watch. Given that throughout her 40s to early 60s she lived in relative isolation after the death of her last family member , her mother - and much of it in abject poverty without tv or running water and electricity, her positivity and cheerfulness touches me in an indescribable way. I’m so grateful she was ‘discovered’ and received so much love and respect in her later years. RIP an incredible lady 🤍

    What mesmerised me the most about Hannah is, for someone who has barely has had any contact with the outside world, she seems to be at ease with all the public speaking and the attention she gets (I know I would have been a wreck with so much attention). I think her reclusiveness in an odd way has preserved her conscience and kept it pure. I believe this is why she bravely faces the world with having little to no experience at all, almost child-like quite endearing actually.

      What I like is that Hannah remained an interesting subject, even long after her success through being a prototype media celebrity (if I can put it that way - she was a ‘reality’ television personality before the term was coined).
      She never let affluence and better personal circumstances turn her head and ruin her.
      She came across as a gentle soul because she was a gentle soul. And she was remarkably perceptive for someone who had known isolation for so long and so well, being a far more sophisticated conversationalist and raconteur than many people who have made their living through the media.

    Loved how Miss Hauxwell expressed her political views + that she couldn’t refrain from comparing the relatively unimpressive White House with vintage Buckingham Palace. She was equally not impressed with tall buildings clustered together in a concrete jungle, teabags in less than “piping hot water” + a pretentious piece of jewellery in a shop window. She’s the true gem. Simply more ‘greenery’ would have done it for her🤗💕

    I feel the same way about the river near my house and its waterfall, set in a lovely woodland that no one can take. Even though everything I worked for was stolen at gunpoint, causing homelessness for me, yet no one can take the beauty of the world away 😍

      Not really. If they hadn't made the documentaries she would have probably died alone and penniless on her farm. As it was she got electricity and water supplied to her farm through public donations, she also made enough from her books to give her a comfortable life in retirement. And being taken all round Europe and the USA in comfort - including on the QE2 - is hardly 'cashing in on poor Hannah'.
