Tatty Macleod

In August 2025, Tatty posted a video of her 73-year-old mum digging a trench. 25 million views later and DIY Liz is a viral sensation. This year Tatty turns the same age “Trench Lady” was when she had her. In this new work in progress, Tatty reviews her mum’s life choices (including moving to France, digging a trench, repairing her own septic tank) and contrasts it against her own (childfree, unmarried, doesn’t own a septic tank) to try and answer the age old question: Am I becoming my mother?
