All the people in this time seemed so kind and harmonious and no rush for anything

[@gardenjoy5223]

There were very long working days and labour was mostly manual, requiring quite a bit of muscle power. They knew how to get things done fast and good with an enormous work ethic. Families were large, vacuum cleaners, dish-washers and washing machines had not yet been invented. Work, work and more work. And nothing done slowly. Be sure there was a constant rush to get things done and to bring a meager meal on the table. My grandmother started a family in this age in a similar village, that's how I know. From a very early age she had to serve as a housemaid in another town, five kilometers walk away, which on top of her enormous workload she walked daily twice. Only to come home to more work for her mother, like knitting socks. With her own family and her young husband away at see most of the time, she managed to scrape, so that she could offer her five children (rather small family) one fourth of one small candy piece each day. That was the luxury and delight of my mother's youth: her quarter piece of candy after school. And then also she had to work, work and work some more. But not on Sunday. Sundays were for church, family visits and some hard-earned leisure at home or close by, since transportation was by foot mostly. My grandmother had a very hard youth amidst the constant threat of poverty and an overworked mother without much kindness to spare. This was quite common. People were fighting lice and flees, and common diseases we can cure now, took the lives of both the fiancé of my grandmother and the fiancée of my grandfather, by which they both found themselves alone and married each other instead, without much romance. Yes, of course there was also a tight knit community and laughter and joy amidst the many relatives and close neighbors. But often they were dressed in black for half a year, due to another death in the family. To balance your view a bit, I thought I might inform you about the hardships of every day, as you seemed to romanticize the time period.

We had each other, the grass, a ball, a rope to play with, roller skates and lots of fantasy. We'd play hide and seek and tag and football. We'd go swim whenever possible and explore the neighborhood and the nearby small wood. We would build things out of scrap wood, get berries from the bushes and beechnuts and the likes. We'd play with the dogs and cats of the neighborhood. I feel very sorry for this generation always hiding behind their devices. Not half as much fun as we had. Maybe not even a quarter. But... many of the teenagers would want to live in our time. Since school was till the tender age of 12 years old and hard labour took its place with long hours.

They think about playing. And that was done in abundance back then. Furthermore, death is guaranteed to everyone that's born on the planet. When we look at the world of today, not in our regions but in way too many, there's all that you speak of. Like in Yemen?

Such delightful musical scores to accompany the video! The colorization and AI enhancement does wonders to these old black and white movies of Dutch towns. I'm always amazed at Holland's outsized impact on the world as a great Maritime power, for such a small country. Growing up less than 10 miles from Times Square in New Jersey there are many reminders of Dutch settlement in this region. For example New York was formally known as New Amsterdam. And there are many towns with the suffix "kill", such as Cresskill where our family lived in New Jersey, and Peekskill, New York where I attended High School. "Kill" means riverbed or water channel in Dutch. Then there's the Tappan Zee bridge that spans the Hudson River, the first word honoring the Native American Tappan tribe, while the second word "Zee" is the Dutch word for "sea" in English. And the list goes on and on.

[@Rick88888888]

This grass lawn is called "De Bleek" in Dutch, translated "The bleach", used to make washing more white by using the rays of the sun. This is a translation of the Dutch Wikipedia page about De Bleek: "A bleach, also a bleaching field or bleaching meadow, is a grass meadow that has been mowed short and which was used to bleach linen. The linen itself was also called pale. The word bleach meaning "field to bleach wax" was first encountered in the year 1520. The power of sunlight and oxygen in bleaching linen was discovered very early on. After washing, the linen was often still yellowish and the smell of use did not disappear. However, the linen became fresher and paler, lighter in shade, by spreading it out on a lawn and letting it dry. Hence the word 'bleach'. Much later an explanation was found for the phenomenon. Under the influence of the sun, free oxygen atoms are formed, which bind to the dirt, which gives the same effect as bleaching with hydrogen peroxide. It was not until the end of the eighteenth century that chemical bleaching came into use using chlorine. Bleach meadows were still used in the textile industry until the 20th century. Even at home, many people still put their laundry on the bleach to dry."
