Victorian Farm Christmas Episode II 

The way he responded with that half smile lol

Que Benito Lugar me gustaria vivir.ay

Lol

Shouldn't he have asked if his father was a bricklayer? A blacksmith wouldn't lay bricks would he?

Well, now the whole world is starting to realize what life is like for us "shut-ins" due to COVID-19. Who would have guessed that a year ago when you wrote your comment? LL

RU-vid, not Utube.

Charlotte &Laura..❤️

Charlotte,Laura,this is me 💖💖💖💖💖💖

agree! I want to learn more too :-)

i just found a channel called "Townsends, a channel dedicated to 18th century lifestyle"; you might like it too. I really enjoy their cooking episodes.

They have done more. Victorian Pharmacy is one. Ruth is in most of them. Look on RU-vid. That's were I found them.

"We" (people living in 2020) owe a great debt to our forebearers. They not only survived but they managed to thrive (most of the time).

+mary “CraftyMom101” m She's coming out with a new book in the new year! It's available for preorder now. I'm so excited. :)

Oh I heard of the book, she was promoting it just last week I think on one of the Facebook groups that she is in. I'm going to have to order it, can't wait!!!! I agree, I'm thrilled tooooooooo!

What is the book about? I have her book on Victorian life.Hannah

It's similar in format to the Victorian book, but it's about the Tudor era, which I believe is the era Goodman is most passionate about(I may be mistaken). I prefer the Victorian book just because I'm more interested in that era, but as always Goodman writes passionately and in great detail about what it was truly like to live in a different time. Ruth's books are some of my favorite because a lot of her research comes from historical reenactment and therefore she can speak from personal experience with what the clothes feel like, what it's like to use certain devices, etc.

I love Ruth's laugh, she is the best.

K. Nakanishi Exactly 👌🏽

Yes...super relaxing. There was a “ruggedness” about it..But I liked the personalities..They really drew you in.

Yeah

Isn't it? I'm bingeing!

@calihartley2010 I'm certain she is. Couldn't find any info on her maiden name, though.

@calihartley2010 I was thinking how much she looks like Victoria, who was not Jewish at all. Victoria's nose was very much like Ruth's.

Is there a cost to watch this?

norm lor watch The Victorian Slum series

I enjoy watching movie clips and full movies from the 1930's era with such stars as Ruby Keeler and Dick Powell.

serendipidus1 i suspect our descendants will know a lot about us since we have so many more sources of information.

Im creeped out

By then, they'll probably be in super realistic virtual worlds and will be baffled that anyone ever looked at a tiny screen, like if they want to watch a video on gardening, there will probably content creators out there with virtual gardens for people to walk around and dig in like you're actually there

That was so clever-best you go back a bit more-many of 60&70+are Tweeting Facebooking instagraming&Amazon priming

Be like that? Where did you learn English? Off a toilet stall?

@@chndlr18 it's vernacular. Rude much?

@@camilledvorak7151 ❄️️

​@@chndlr18 It's ironic and also funny that somebody offended by a different dialect of English is calling someone else a snowflake. My first thought was Eyore too!

I think donkey's are so very cute.nex door to us in Dublin, they had tow, Salt and pepper, 5 years after they still recognaise our voices.

Wow! thank you so much for this tip, I learned to quilt from women who were 45 years older than I when I was just 17 years old. I also learned to repair quilts, but I never knew this helpful tip. Thank you again you are most kind and gracious to share.

Things used to be made to last, and be repaired as needed. Quality was the most important thing, with price the second most important thing. When price became the most important thing, all the good local jobs disappeared, as everything was outsourced to countries where workers have no rights, and are paid starvation wages for working very long hours. There's no real quality control, and many products are DOA, or quickly break. They're so shoddy that they can't be repaired, so they end up in a garbage dump.

Agreed!

Ooh, me too!!! To have such a friendly, patient, funny, handsome, hard working gentleman.

Me too. Wonder if he’s married. If he is she’s a lucky woman

@Audrey-Anne I'm probably the same age as his Mum - so I'm going to say: a.) Big shout-out to his parents, for raising such a bright, kind, hard-working son, and: b.) definitely want Peter around if you're lost in the Forrest - he'd have a lean-to built, a fire made and a rabbit for dinner before you could say Bob's yer Uncle ! 👍

Audrey-Anne me too 😊

Scott Johnson after watching more than 1/2 of this special already, I’m pretty sure they used footage from that series for this special to fill in gaps.

Is she really her daughter or a part of their team?

@@littleMsWilmie She's Ruth's real daughter.

Ruth made her own clothing for all of the historical series. Though, due to time constraints, a friend helped her with the clothes for "The Edwardian Farm". She wore the floral-patterned dress she made on "The Victorian Farm" in episode 2 of "The Victorian Pharmacy".

I read this comment right when Peter said this! Life is so weird sometimes.

They have a castle series. It's not Tudor, but it is cool.

You would probably be so exhausted from the physical labor you wouldn't even notice

Why would you having standards be sad?

Yes I'm an American

Anvilshock people don’t agree or say I’m not normal

It’s unfortunate that this channel has chosen to make 95% of these shows unavailable in the US.

@@Anvilshock Its not a question of standards. The British government uses license fees (e.g. for BBC) to help fund the sites and the TV projects. It is a NATIONAL effort (UK is a small country) The USA has state-sponsored (PBS, etc.) programs affiliated with specific Public TV channels in each state. Also, USA has many living history museums[1][2] that produce very good DVDs and YT channels. You can go to the various places' websites and access material online. Washington's home, Mount Vernon has a YT channel. It features living history actors and also records lectures by professional historians. ________________________________________ 1.) *"List of open-air and living history museums in the United States" * en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_open-air_and_living_history_museums_in_the_United_States 2.) *"Top 10 Living History Museums in USA"* (i.e. most well-known sites) greenglobaltravel.com/top-10-living-history-museums-in-america/#:~:text=Top%2010%20Living%20History%20Museums%20In%20America.%201,OF%20SAN%20DIEGO%20%28San%20Diego%2C%20California%29%20More%20items

Lemon juice soothes a sore throat and gives a shot of Vitamin C- Honey does not allow bacterial growth & balances the sour lemon. The bourbon of course was for the alcohol content - to relax and not mind your symptoms as much, or get sleep lol. I make a strong tea & add honey & lemon- it soothes the whole time you're drinking it. Honey & vinegar makes a great allergy reducer too. Because the honey is MADE with pollen, it acts like a mild dose of what ails you- like a mild allergy shot.

You're incredibly brave, I would be too scared of poisonous ones.

I was kinda wondering how these guys do these types of jobs...

Its actually not that bad as its weightless in the air when you catch it

Brandon Dobson "I'm sleeping in an envelope." Yup.

I'm forever grateful not to have to deal with summer heat in corsets and crinolines.

Same the thought for doing what I do (yes gardening and tree work) wearing dresses like that!

F-84 Driver Watch The Victorian Slum series

It's exhaustion.

Wood will heat a whole house too. The secret is to have ducts running from the stove, throughout the house. In Switzerland, where it gets very cold in winter, stoves were made of ceramic bricks, and were linked by ducts running throughout the house. Bricks hold the heat for much longer than iron does, and gradually release it for hours. Coal smoke and ashes make food taste terrible. That's why coal stoves had a separate compartment for the coal, to keep it separate from the food. Wood smoke and wood ashes add delicious flavour to food, so wood-fired stoves and fireplaces were open, allowing the smoke to circulate, flavouring the food. Ruth talks about this on "Full Steam Ahead", in the episode about how the railways changed the way people eat. Charcoal is different from coal. It's processed to remove a lot of the nasty stuff, thus creating a fuel that burns much hotter and cleaner than coal.

When I was a kid, I learned to sew watching my mom and sewing on the occasional button. When I entered the army as an adult I could sew on my buttons and darn my woolen socks.

CairineTheElfHearted same here but I learned in home economics classes which beside art class , was one of my fav classes !

My Mother had me mending all the families socks and sewing buttons back on when I was 6 years.

critterlover4278 there’s a Victorian Pharmacy one with Ruth in it!

critterlover4278, also have you watched the Edwardian Farm series? It’s pretty good too! 😊 Oh and another one called Full Steam ahead. 😊

critterlover4278 I just found another one...The War time Farm that the 3 have done as well. It was easy for me to see how many I’ve missed myself. All I did was type Ruth Goodman into the search on RU-vid! Hope that helps😊

Hopefully they will have access to the BBC archives and be able to just go back and watch the episode
