Here here!

@@suz632 I don't like girls like that 😜

Absolutely! 😊

It is ALMOST.... like a big secret... to making learning "fun", by making the knowledge interactive and physical... but lets ignore that and just sit all day and listen to some extremely bored and broken down "teacher" tells you something theyve said already 300x before...

She's not excited about Eels 😊

And things were going so well, at last. Fuck Henry VIII

Nick V - Henry VIII was a narcissistic egomaniac: everything was always about him. Reminds me of a certain flaxen-haired ‘planetarch’ - except that Old Harry could ride, joust, dance, and communicate well in Greek, Latin, French, and Italian, in addition to his native English...

Dissolution of the abbeys was disgustingly self-serving.

oiralire - Everything tyrants do is disgustingly self-serving; that’s why they’re tyrants.

It was an absolute travesty that King Henry VIII abolished the monasteries and all because of Ann Boleyn.

same. I'm just here in the comments section hoping that once I finish reading the comments a new episode will have just appeared in my list. I can't believe I have finished watching all the episodes of Victorian Farm, Edwardian Farm, Secrets of the Castle, and Tudor Monastery in less than 48 hours. I've been hooked on these series ever since I have - ACCIDENTALLY, mind you - stumbled upon them 2 days ago out of boredom. Been taking these worse than a cocaine addict that needs his dose badly

@@blabla-rg7ky Same here, I found them randomly and now I've been binging :) I'll have to hope KZfaq has more surprises for me when I've run out

Tales from Green Valley, Victorian Farm, Victorian Pharmacy ( Ruth teams up with a couple of other presenters), Edwardian farm and wartime Farm. Are all from the same group at the BBC. And full steam ahead is the final one which focuses on the railroads in the UK. BBC archives has all of the old websites associated with the shows

@@angelwhispers2060 But I'm already watching them *sobs*

@@TwitchXk90 I find the Edwardian Farm series very rewatchable. There's a whole separate Channel wartime kitchen and Garden or something like that it's set in the British Countryside during World War II. But by a different presenter.

He’s downright sexy. 😹😹😹😹

@@patriciabarkley735 I’m just gonna forget that this comment exists.

@@zachrobinson8357 , You probably should. You notice the laughing cats, right??

@@patriciabarkley735 That's Peter, the handsome one :)

I know they all dress in period correct clothing for the show but I wouldn't be surprised if that's just what he wears all the time!

I thought those were plumbs Ruth was picking! Love those things half ripe with a little salt.

Those little trees are not literally 500 years old. They are descended from those ancient trees.

@@denisl2760 eh, it's likely that they're pretty ancient. A well tended, pruned, and fertilized fruit bearing tree shouldn't ever get taller than one and a half the times the height of the tallest man. Heavy bearing trees LOOK tiny, because it takes a lot of energy to produce fruit. Some things you learn when you spent life taking care of them on the family orchard.

Well the actual trees today aren't five hundred years old: most fruit trees only live 50-100 years. But before a fruit tree dies, it will go through a period of asexual reproduction and create a bunch of new saplings from it's roots. The strongest of those will survive, so in a sense the trees do live quite a long time. If you see a tree that is crooked down at the base just above the roots, that is a sapling which grew on much older roots.

EXACTLY!!!! I really hope she didn't actually use it. 😬

Adding ox blood or protiens in the batch subtracts a good amount of lead from the salt. Also let's not forget about diseases,starvation and cold making them not live long , just to name a few.

We should remember that food science was evolving 🤔 many didn't probably understand food chemistry interactions?

@@rw3423 Hence, why the poster said they didn’t live long.

35 years is a misnomer. The high infant mortality rate heavily drops the number. If they survived to school age the number was more like 60. Still young compared to today but not nearly so bad.

I love it, they also bring such and infectious joy and fun to it as well that really shows you that they are loving every minute of what they do which just draws you in further. Indeed likely the best people for the job.

If I had this back in school in the 90s, I would have aced a class dedicated to this. Its so interesting and the people are awesome. I love how Ruth is I for anything!💚✌🥰

Absolutely agree. The French castle building series is my personal favorite. I would've loved to have watched something like this back in grade school to learn about history instead of watching old Rick Steves VHS videos from the 80's

@Tam Possible So everyone will learn a little history. And how things have evolved over time. These children that are on the streets rioting ,stealing and destroying have know idea what work is and what they are destroying. Just my opinion if you are upset by it that is ok. I came from a family that worked for everything we have or dont have. And to me this is a huge part of history that all should understand and know how lucky we are.

@@backachershomestead I agree with you. I had the opportunity to grow up (until adolescence at least!) on a very small, family farm. We raised or grew most of what we ate, made use of resources around us, hand-reared animals (cows, pigs, chickens, ducks, geese, domesticated rabbits) cured/smoked pork, beef, sausage, ham; very much like was shown in this series. When you live by the rythmns of nature and the seasons, it gives you a far different perspective on life, priorities, etc. Yes, I believe these shows are invaluable to our young people.

this was made by the bbc........ so like.... i guess YOU need telly, strictly speaking...

They didn't mention aliens once. It was wonderful.

TV sucks compared to KZfaq.

@@deanne1671 .... You are on a video of stolen property from the BBC, made to look like it's this channels intellectual property. How exactly does TV suck again? Yes, they can't steal others work, but they're the ones who's produced a lot of what you see on YT.

More choices, at one's own choosen time. That's why.

Approved :)

LMAO

Internet-generated captions don't understand the concept of farm animals. They are beyond its comprehension.

Well, they were made for tv originally, so they WERE professionally done.

@@stephlrideout Ok, makes sense. Sometimes I forget that normal TV is still a thing.

@@delphicdescant lol don't we all

That's cuz they're actually made by the BBC

@@stephlrideout hfmfhjf rq

Of course you might have seen them, but there are, apart from this, these series with him in that I know of Victorian Farm Edwardian Farm Wartime Farm Secrets of the Castle Full Steam Ahead

@@Inlelendri and his very first one of this series is 2005s 'Tales from the Green Valley'✌🏻🇳🇱

I have an old lady crush on Peter. 😊

yup you saw the missing stat ... breaking it down into age ranges would show where spikes were and then better relate what is actually going on ... this is how stats lie ... reporting that the avg age was 35 .. although technically correct it is wrong ... because the rate is different if you limit the range to 6 years old and later ... then you get stuff like 40 and 50 and possibly even later ... while under 6 you get a spike for newborns meaning making it past early childhood you have a great chance ... to fail . never assume the stat is saying the truth ... check to see what they are trying to measure and see if it is the most complete answer or if it has variations with in it ... like the example used from the series

Some people lived to be very old. Cuthburt Tunstall, Bishop of Wells, was 85 when he died, which wasn't until the first year of Elizabeth's reign. He would have experienced all the religious turmoil of the three previous reigns.

@@0623kaboom "I can prove anything by statistics except the truth" as George Canning said. It wasn't all that uncommon to live into your 70's and even 80's in those days. Of course your body would have been completely worn out by a life of hard labour at that age, so your body would have been in extreme pain pretty much constantly. So it wouldn't have been a pleasant retirement in those days.

I don't think that was true for women pregnancy and child birth was deadly business

@Oona Craig Actually no, Suger was not very common and therefore did not rot their teeth. The issue is rather new for people in Europe and North America.

Those likely were part of ongoing restoration

Me neither.

The early-mid 17th c one, ‘Tales of the Green Valley’ does show their winter chores/ life- even in the cold, they had to see every day to the feeding & care of any animals that hadn’t gone for autumn slaughtering- it’s been more than a hot minute since I watched it, but I quite liked it...

@Alexisasheep - I think that is the same man who distilled brandy in another episode.

I've found this group, with one guy switched out for another guy, on other channels. I discovered their Christmas videos first! Ruth is such a gem 😊 A breath of fresh air

It's originally made by BBC and their archives have all of the websites previously associated with the show. It's starts with Tales from Green Valley (which had a bunch of other people in it) and goes through wartime Farm Tom is not really a main guy in this group. It's normally Alex langland. But he had a really bad back injury just before filming started on the first one which is why they added Peter at all. As the series got bigger there were some shows Alex physically couldn't do that's why they have Tom for some series and not others.

@@angelwhispers2060 thank you!

There's also Victorian Pharmacy and another one about building a castle in France or something. Not as good as the "farm" ones though.

@@mixtape4041 thanks. I seem to have run through them all now, including Full Steam Ahead. Love them, just wish there were more!

They have many episodes, I've been watching for a very long time. Why?? Cuz I love this series and Ruth and Peter!!!

Me too

thank God they have Victorian and Edward's series!

@Celto Loco - What makes you think the series were "stolen" and not licensed? The BBC always protects its copyright.

Great game

The BBC might offer the series on DVD. I know they have websites for each of the Christmas specials

That's the chorus of the song. The first verse goes: Sowing in the morning, Sowing seeds of kindness, Sowing in the noontide, And the dewy eves. Sowing for the harvest, And the time of reaping. We shall come rejoicing, Bringing in the sheaves!

Verse 1) Sowing in the morning, sowing seeds of kindness, Sowing in the noontide and the dewy eve; Waiting for the harvest, and the time of reaping, We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves. Bringing in the sheaves, bringing in the sheaves, We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves; Bringing in the sheaves, bringing in the sheaves, We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves. Verse 2) Sowing in the sunshine, sowing in the shadows, Fearing neither clouds nor winter's chilling breeze; By and by the harvest, and the labor ended, We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves. Bringing in the sheaves, bringing in the sheaves, We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves; Bringing in the sheaves, bringing in the sheaves, We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves. Verse 3) Going forth with weeping, sowing for the Master, Tho' the loss sustained our spirit often grieves; When our weeping's over, He will bid us welcome, We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves. Bringing in the sheaves, bringing in the sheaves, We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves; Bringing in the sheaves, bringing in the sheaves, We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves.

Wow. This is just a work song that we were made to believe was a religious one.

@@germyw Back in that time, there was no difference. Not really. If your working songs praised God, so much the better.

This entire hymn is a Christian metaphor. Sowing seeds = spreading the gospel, telling people the good news of Jesus, who came to die for our sins in our place so we could be free from sin and death/punishment. Sowing under any conditions - good times, bad times, rain or shine, with weeping or rejoicing = we will do what we're called to do, spread the gospel, no matter what: in times of scarcity or prosperity, in safe or dangerous places, in persecution or protection; our reward is in heaven, Jesus Himself, so what can mankind do to me? Take my belongings, my family, my life? They all belong to Him anyway, and to leave the body is to be present with Christ, so no matter what, in life or in death, I win! 😄 In Christ we have victory! Bringing in a harvest = the people who receive the gospel and allow it to grow in their hearts become like fully ripened fruits or grains that not only share the gospel with others, spreading more seeds, but they, with us, are brought into heaven by Jesus as His righteous harvest! People may have sung this during the harvest, but it's meaning is far greater and deeper than you may realize! 😊❤🙌🏻

I don't think that holds true for women as pregnancy and child birth could be deadly.

Loraine Drosophila Of course you are right, but I think what Ligerstripe was trying to say (and quite correctly so) is that it is wrong to assume that people died of old age in their forties or even thirties.

Life expectancy at this time period just like every time period is an average. I do wish more stress was put on the average word in that sentence when we talk/teach about life expectancy and history.

Good point

True, but women’s high risk included childbirth. Of course, we don’t know the rates

Thanku😊♥️

thank you

You're a legend for this man.

Melomel. Which as stated is mead made with fruit. Mead made with spices are Metheglins. Though there is some overlap between the categories. I've brewed all three. Personal fave was probably the batch I made with strawberries and cherries.

I do!!! Seriously, I've always wanted to live like this. Get back to root values of God, family, and living off what He has provided, raising livestock and growing vegetation. They say it takes a village to raise a child for a reason. Living with a huge focus on community, too. I believe we are meant as humans to live together in groups, but modern technology and life has allowed us to not depend on each other, and this is why depression is so rampant and 3 in 5 Americans are lonely. Loneliness and social isolation can be as damaging to health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. I think it would be hard, but this world is too fast for me and things are getting weird.. also, not to get all "woo-woo" but with COVID-19 and everything else, living off the grid in a small community sounds like a great plan, if things pop off worse we will be OK. My name is Erika BTW. I live in Oregon currently.

@@foxyshazaam3310 n

A lot of people think like you do; that's why well-ran communes like Virginia's Twin Oaks exist. I spent time there when I was a kid; great place with great people!

@@foxyshazaam3310 facts! I just happened back here and saw your reply. Things were definitely getting weird 5 months ago! And getting weirder.. corporate fascism is the term I believe will be used to describe what were descending into. They have more money than governments and use that money to control how we are governed. They own our officials and law makers. This isn't new, it's been growing since the industrial revolution (read of mice and men? That on a grander scale) It looks like the best course of action to avoid being caught in the coming great depression is to start over where the gdp isn't the highest in the world, which is what drives them. The best chance for that is in South America. Chile in particular. They have a higher freedom rating and still have huge areas with no government interference.. it's not jungle Amazon like most in the states imagine for SA. Chile has similar weather and geography as we do.. (once you're south of the equator it gets cooler as you go south towards antarctica) but not nearly as developed, it's still in it's beautiful natural state! Rivers clean enough to drink from.. land is super cheap. When we buy our property there, you're more than welcome to come and build, along with whoever you want to bring that has a live and let live attitude. The current religion seems to be politics, but the truth is they're all scum. They serve the corporations, not us. And anyone who steps back from all the drama theatre to see the whole picture, will realize the goal is to enable the cheapest labor and highest prices for corporations. That's why they all operate where slave labor is permitted to manufacture, then ship to the richest nations in the world to get the highest prices. All this division they sow is to distract and weaken us. So I take no side in that arena. I'm for people. Not elitist politicians and the corporate entity. I think people should be able to believe and live as they please as long as they aren't causing harm. I think society as twisted due to years of going against nature instead of working with it. I'm April in Colorado btw. Nice to meet you Erika! Feel free to dm me if you want to talk about this. So far im still in the stage of researching different areas near a water source that would make good farm land and paying off the last couple g of debt.. there's still time to help choose a location! The west coast of south america is so gorgeous, mexico had some tempting places as well. The main thing is to be away from major cities and all the social problems that go with it. Just like here in the states, only it's becoming impossible to here because of rising population and urban sprawl.

@Kayla Grech - This trio made other series on such topics as building a French castle, Victorian farm, etc. Look for them here on KZfaq.

This channel is only uploading documentaries from the BBC. They didn’t make these.

I am aware. I love almost anything BBC has...I love ALL of BBC "living in the past" type shows. (Especially ANYTHING with Ruth Goodman.) And of course stuff like Doctor Who, Sherlock, Father Brown, etc. When I say "Please Make More" I am simply hoping they make more, not asking this channel to make more.

Yes. Absolutely.

haha thats what i was thinking, could help explain why the first batch was even more prized, theres a lot less lead salt in the part that rises to the top lol
