Victorian Farm Christmas

Victorian Farm Christmas: The preparations are almost done and ready to celebrate this is the best of the three episodes

Part one: Being American when I think pudding I think of Jello. The British version is so different from what we are use to. I don't think I will ever think of Christmas pudding again. 

Part two: Food was so different back then, on this episode they show a extraordinary traditional meat pie of literally a chicken, a goose and a duck stuck inside each other. I can't even imagine how that would taste. This episode even show the very actual first Christmas card.

Part three: oh my I do feel so naive, The Victorians seemed to find uses for everything, even stale urine. Otherwise this is a great episode that shows beautiful ways of Victorian decorating.

Part 4: this is my favorite of all these parts. In this part you see a traditional wassailing, traditional church service and feast.

I want to thank the writer of Grym Wytche Farm blog for turning me on to this sweet little program. I didn't put all the episodes on here, but if you would like to watch them check them out on this playlist
to see them consecutively. For more information on this show, visit BBC Hope you enjoyed :)

Have yourself a Merry litle Christmas

Of all the Christmas songs, this is hands down one of my favorites. Their is something about Judy Garlands voice, she is was amazing. This is from one of my favorite movies ever. Meet me in St Louis a beautiful movie that showcases the lifestyle and charm of the turn of the century.

Christmas Past, at the Geffrye

How would we have lived if we lived in the 1600's, 1700's, 1800's? I know most people don't wonder these things, but I have always. I am the kind of person that has always felt like she should have been born in another time. If I ever make it to London I will definitely have to visit the Geffrye museum of the home. A museum of period rooms, showcasing the living rooms from 1630 to modern times.

They are currently displaying their annual Christmas past exhibition. Every room and garden is now decorated for Christmas. I would love to be able to see this. 

For most of us that don't live near London, we can at least check out the website. The website offers 360 views and virtual tours of their various rooms and gardens. As well as pictures of their collections and info of  how the living rooms would have been like and how they lived

The new Snow White

This movie looks amazing! The special effects, costumes, oh my

The Tudors are coming back!!!

The showtime show the Tudors is coming to BBC America for season 3.
Up until yesterday I thought season was were they had stopped making them. But I found season 3 and 4 on Netflix! From what I can tell, so far the story goes up to Anne of Cleaves and to the very wild Kathryn Howard.

I am hoping with the show coming to BBC America that they will continue to make them go all the way through to the end of Queen Elizabeth the I.

BBC America will have a season 1 marathon starting November 13th starting at 10 est. Then a season 2 marathon starting November 16th at 11est. After that a new episode every Wednesday at 9/8c.

If your into getglue they will have stickers for both marathons and each episode after that. 

Happy Veterens Day

                 To all those that have served our my country, Thank you so very much
