It’s so cute

They do…

The Gardiners are not the same class as the Bingleys, Mr Gardiner still works. I must have misspoke but I did not refer to Gardiner as landed gentry but to Darcy, he is landed gentry.

Wentworth’s family must have been respectable with his elder brother being in the clergy but starting out as a curate but later getting a living. No fortune though and definitely no rank.

@@MelanieMartinCreates I am not English either, so I could be wrong about this class stuff. I've had to guess and figure things out. We're led to believe that Bingley's FATHER made his fortune in trade (he worked for a living), and Mr. Gardiner also works for a living (as a professional, but who was HIS father)? IF the younger Bingley buys an estate and he and Jane have children, they will exhibit social mobility and will BEGIN to look like gentry. Darcy is LONG-established gentry, but we can still guess that far back in time his ancestor was either a bright Norman soldier or a farmer connected in some fashion with a big shot, and even further back, they were cave dwellers. Recall that Pip is given Great Expectations and wants to be a gentleman, but he ends up working for a living. IS he a gentleman? The concept became blurred over time. Here in the States we like to claim we are a classless society, but is this so? Most work for a living, but this divide between blue collar and white collar is real. My father's family appears to be of mostly English descent from the south, and most of the males were professional, in trade or education. My mother's family is mostly Scotch-Irish, were mostly miners and farmers, liked to drink, and the women were tough. Native intelligence across the two strands seems to be about a wash. Is class real. Yes.

Thanks for all the corrections, in the English navy, you may refer to sailor as a general term as anyone who is seagoing no matter of rank. Sailors first.

How odd and I am so sorry this happened. I had that on occasion and it’s so frustrating.

We are on the fabric buying mission right now.

Thank you

Thank you, yes I am pleased with the jumper.

Yes, I shall share next a video of a return visit to Strata Florida and hopefully one to St. Winifred’s Well.

Thanks for finding this one :)

Thank you 🙏

Thank you 🙏

Are you sewing? It’s simple and I think Young Min gives classes I wouldn’t be surprised if there are a lot of jogakbo workshops in your area.

Oh hi to Sweden, love the country, fab memories of visiting.

Oh there are quite a few knitting mysteries. I must read some and do a video about that :) and Christie is a classic. When I am under the weather, I will always rewatch them.

Love this series!

I am glad you enjoyed the video. I adore the Elizabeth Peters series, Amelia is hilarious.

What about Viktoria Bliss "Trojan Gold" (Elizabeth Peters) A brilliant book

Hope you enjoy them

Thanks for watching Doris.

Yeah, exactly sometimes it’s fine if even just one thing makes you think.

Journaling is not for everyone I totally get it, my husband hates journaling too.

Glad you found the journaling useful. It’s quite the commitment in a way, then again, that probably only feels that way because we don’t make time for ourselves

I wish! but then again, if I were a machine I'd have too many socks and would have to sell them.

Yeah, the teenager is not that considerate sadly, but mocks will be over on Friday, so huzzah to that.

Yeah, it's hard, but I saw you were taking time to read, so that's nice.

I am so glad that the postcards arrived and good, I have on my list to upload more designs.

You and my husband, he does love a snazzy sock and it's part of all of his birthday and Christmas presents.

Same :)

thank you :)

Yeah, I definitely noticed that my skin feels better

Yeah, I have to be kinder to myself and oddly keeping track of things that way feels like a more balanced approach

Not read ther Julie Dash books but it sounds interesting.

Yeah, I “rediscovered” my redbubble account

I absolutely love this. I’ve been to Canterbury as a teen and loved it. Hope you have a great time in Hereford, lovely area.

Thank you

Hagia Sophia is on my list too, I never been to Turkey, so I’d love to visit one day.

Thank you so much

Good point, I might try it on the next one. Although I quite like the loose fit.

Thank you 🙏

Thank you

Seriously

lol. In hindsight I also find it very funny!

Seriously, it made me feel almost murderous.

Very much so. I am always fascinated at how people come up with their ideas.

Hullo. I keep coming back like a bad penny.

@@MelanieMartinCreates Bad or not, penny's are still my favorite ☺
