Today is July 17, 2022. I have watched every other historical-living series, in chronological order. I just learned about this one, which was actually the first made. So fun to see them brand new to the idea of living in historical times. And I really like the background info on Ruth, Peter, and Alex.

[@chantalsscaleisafibber]

I love hearing how common sayings now were formed in the past-upper&lower crust for example.

[@blabla-rg7ky]

yeah, they are interesting to me, as well. Just yesterday I have finished watching the Tudor Monastery series, and before that I have watched Victorian Farm series and there's many references in these 2 series alone for lots of common sayings, like - the rule of thumb; - horse power; - grinding to a halt; - upper case / lower case; And I think there were a couple others, but I forgot them. Still, great documentaries, very educational and entertaining. Once you've started watching a single episode out of curiosity you won't be able to put the entire series down until you've watched it fully.... two or three times in a row, after which you start another series by the same guys and watch that one till the end, too... and so on. When I first discovered these documentaries an year ago (youtube had recommended Secrets of the Castle out of the blue and I clicked on it out of curiosity) I completely watched ALL of the documentaries for a whole week. Haven't done anything else at that time (not even showering, or taking out the trash lol) but sleep, eat, and watch while staying glued to the screen so I could take in every single detail. That addictive these documentaries are :)

My ancestors came to the American continent just after this time, from England. They came from St. Alban's, which I am told is not too far from Wales, so I am excited to watch this and imagine how a young couple set out on a sea voyage with a small child and a baby, to go to a new land hoping for a better life.

These are the kind of people I would greatly enjoy picking at their knowledge. I would have never learned this stuff in school. Teaching passionately makes a difference in how the learner takes in information.

[@marigeobrien]

One of the most valuable lessons in these stories is helping viewers to understand how very hard life was then and what a struggle it was just to accomplish each basic necessity. For instance, in watching them plow, it occurs to me they walked all day long, both the men and the oxen. And they had to do that until all the fields were plowed. Can you imagine doing that? I'm sure they took breaks but, even so, to keep walking and walking. But it had to be done and in just a few days. It's a real wake-up call for all those revisionists who are so eager to look down their noses at our forefathers.

[@seer1623]

[@sanguinelynx]

I love all the farm series, but this has always been my favorite, it truly seemed like stepping back in time, and everyone was so enthusiastic about this challenge. The music was perfect, too!

[@FMHammyJ]

This one and Edwardian Farm are my favourites....my least favourite was War Time Farm....they used a different narrator and I think the producers wanted to convey a sense of "urgency" throughout the series, and I found it far less relaxing to watch than this series....

[@sanguinelynx]

@@FMHammyJ I agree, War Time Farm was the least interesting, using that word lightly since I still enjoyed it. I just didn't get immersed as much. Green Valley is fascinating, maybe because it is so far removed from our modern system. I just love how they're not just excavating the land, but the way of life.

[@blabla-rg7ky]

Wartime Farm was my least favorite, as well, while Victorian Farm (even though I've only watched 2 episodes), and especially "Secrets of the Castle" have been my favorites

[@sueclark5763]

I find War Time Farm the most interesting, it seems to have the most information that, given the state of things right now, we would be able to use the most, like how to make do with less. Victorian farm is next for me! We all seem to look for different things in each series.

I think I have watched nearly every series with Ruth have been in. I’ve really enjoyed the farming series. If I were 30 years younger I’d would have liked to have a crack at some of these. I have a farm background and some of the methods used in the process are very similar to what I saw growing up. My great grandfather and my grandfather did things very similar to this since they were both born in the 19th century. I mostly wanted to say how much I’ve enjoyed the programs.

Oct.25 22 .I just found this series a day or so ago, and love it. Though life then was way harder than today. I wonder if it was also way more rewarding. For sure it was all in ones hands if you lived or starved. the market was never farther away than the garden smoke house and larder. Knowing everything you ate was made possible by ones hard work must of made a good meal taste all the better. I once wanted to take the east to west trip as settlers did. To California or Oregon. With a wagon Ox and horse in tow. I never went past the planning phase and knew there would needs be many OKs given to cross fenced lands. But imagining the idea of getting the supplies. Perhaps building a team of experts such as they did here. Then making the trip on one of the still known and exposed trails across the plains and over the mountains before winter snows blocked the passes. Seems the camera got into the Ale in this video. A bit Catty wompuss at times . Still a great video

😂 Just been scrolling down to find if any other historical clothing enthusiasts were wincing at that one! Why is it always the support garments that send these docos into a wee tailspin... 🙄 Pair of stays or bodies. The busk story was really cute though!

I love these shows! Thank you for posting this series (I can’t find it online otherwise) I happen to be American, yet this stuff has made me SO thankful for the the little things in life, and all the humanity who came before me who kept doggedly living and making life doable. Omg doing laundry is a joy now! All i do is chuck clothing into a machine and add soap i didnt even have to make, chuck it into another machine to dry it and just fold and hang it. To think my entire life ive been moaning about how annoying laundry was! HELL NO. Laundry is blessed joy now!! Edit: omg just having hot water come out of the tap is mind boggling after absorbing this knowledge. my air conditioning is something worth weeping i gratitude over (i live in a desert). And dont even get me started about the gobs and gobs of food available to me, a person in the lower middle class. All i have to do is go to my job, sit at a computer, do my job, get paid and buy the food, clothing, and vitamins and just do my budget. No worrying about crop failure, starvation, lugging buckets of water, no chopping down wood to build a fire. I just exercise because i have to, not because i need to to make food. I even buy less food and make sure i eat everything i buy and reuse stuff as much as possible, not because i have to, but because im grateful for all thr effort and resources i have. Lil ol me has all this!! ❤️❤️

While an Acre was supposed to be plowable in 1 day (As a chord could be cut, split, and stacked) that was by a professional plowman, who did it for a living, for the entire community. These are amateur experts, they know the Theory of it, but have no practical experience. So, a rood, or 2 is probably a good start.

*cord (of wood) Besides being amateurs, it looks to me as though it's been a long time since that land was plowed. Do you know if that definition of an acre meant previously unplowed land or already farmed land? It's hard to imagine it referred to new land.

[@Psiberzerker]

@@LynxSouth Under ideal conditions, of course. A plowman with a good team could do it in a day's work. So, I'm assuming previously plowed land.

Ruth looks just like her daughter Eve. She, Peter and Alex look so young. Beautiful.

This reminds me of the modern day American homesteading that is so popular.
