Excellent work!!! Loved watching Ruth stay composed when the landlord told her he had moved her garden. She was so excited to see it after so much love and care and then - the guy says he moved it.
I love the living history programs. For me a farm kid in rural USA it's a poignant reminder that things never really change- watching Ruth, Peter and Alex work on making Christmas presents, caring for critters, watching a horse fuss at a farrier and fighting the rain when hay comes in. Thank you for posting this in one long go so I could use my hands to finish sewing modern christmas presents instead of finding the episodes in order.
Thank goodness for these guys and their enthusiasm to preserve the memories of our heritage. I'm never disappointed watching these farm reconstruction videos through the ages. Well done, Ruth, Peter, Alex, and Co.
This was really interesting. What a great insight to the times. Lovely people. I adore Ruth with her jolly laugh, her Bonny chestnut hair and her capable beautiful hands. Wonderful program.
I've never understood people who say they don't like Christmas anymore because it's too commercial. Why not make Christmas what YOU want it to be? It's got an important message: kindness, love, light in the dark that comforts us and has great symbolic meaning. The decoration, the gifts, all things I can decide how I go about them myself. I go for traditional decor and meaningful, not too expensive gifts. Good food for family and friends. A winter walk. Going to service, singing hymns. Playing Christmas carols on the piano at home with people joining in. Reading the original Christmas carol. Strolling over a Christmas market. It's unforgettable every year and doesn't cost an arm and a leg. It's as close to its original meaning and message as possible. Even if you don't care for religion, the pagan elements have their value, too. A merry Christmas for all of you and much love.
Guess I've read so many gracias's that I should throw one in ! Thanks -keepa stiff upper lip, back straight, shoulders back anda Merry Christmas to all !

This vid reminds me of Christmas's that I wasn't alive for.. " A Child's Christmas in Wales " . Made for TV movie, starrinng Denholm Elliott, based onna Dylan Thomas story, issa Winter heart-warmer. Cheers, all !
@susanmercurio1060 I'm told he was a orator. Wrote a couple of books. The " made for TV " thing that I was speaking of stars Denholm Elliot. Have y'self a merry !
@susanmercurio1060 OH, and by the way ! Someone's worst Christmas memorie was being forced to recite that book as it was passed round the table. She's dyslexic. Can you imagine the torture?
Quite frankly, it’s almost like a scene from the classic Disney movie known as “DR. SYN, ALIAS THE SCARECROW” starring the late actor Patrick McGoohan. In fact, it makes one wonder how Christmas is celebrated in and around the areas of Romney, Dymchurch, and the rest of the vicinity of the white cliffs of Dover?
I'm with Alex. Bah-humbug. Christmas is too commercial and starts waaaay too early in the stores these days. It lessens the impact of the actual day of Christmas and those days immediately around it. And the commercialism cheapens the joy of the season. You don't have to be overly religious to enjoy Christmas, but lets all tone it down a bit, eh? Fabulous documentary though, giving an insight into times that were both simpler and harder.

The victorians did not invent the Christmas tree, that was a pagan tradition that dates back centuries. I believe it was actually the Celts that gave us that tradition.
Letting the body breathe. Agree with that, especially while sleeping. Coolish room , not buried under duvets. " Fan Death " , Korean superstition. If you fall asleep inna room witha fan on ? You will die ! Setiously !
Would I be crazy to think that the production crew likely filmed most of this content during the original year of Victorian Farm, and that this was the unused stuff? It just seems awfully disjointed at times, and a lot of it has nothing to do with christmas. Until the actual christmas stuff at the end, the weather seems too warm, their clothes aren't winter clothes, and the environment seems too green.
It's not Timeline, it's TH-cam. The deal is that you can pay a set amount each month and not have the commercials. Watch or don't watch, TH-cam doesn't really care one way or another.
this must be in YOUR country. i am watching here in Moscow,Russia, there is another one in Ohio,USA: With only the promotion clip from Timeline. Which is by the way shown on any Timeline episode. Even the ones with Sir Tony Robinson... But no other advertising, not in any language, since we know it is fed external, from a local -provider-.not at the beginning, middle or end. And definitely NOTHING every 3 minutes. I have no ad blocker, no tricks that i know for sure. nothing. And already back then when i was watching this episode , actually the whole series, there was no advertising here.
Dont worry trees are renewal they can be replanted there are farms that grow trees just to be used for Christmas the tree is pagan victorian's really boosted this type of Christmas we have plenty of wonderful trees one of my favorite things in this world !
@@susanmercurio1060 No. The tradition existed for centuries in Germany first. There is documented evidence through the Middle Ages, and the tradition probably existed earlier. Victorians did not invent it. Victorians had nothing to do with it.
The Queen married a German, Albert, and that is why they did the Christmas tree which the people adopted. It became popular in the Anglo countries from there. And the Victorians did the other things like Christmas cards and other things.
Love these ‘living back in time’ documentaries. Thanks for the upload! 🎄 ⭐️

Just love these documentaries so much. Could watch them all day. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Love this re-enactment. This channel always does a lot of research. I'm watching this on New Year's Eve.

Beautiful simple times and clean living. I wish I could live and work in a place like there. Albeit with a few modern novelties and knowledge.

Very enjoyable. Thanks

Actually the commercialism began during the Victorian era. There are other videos on that subject.

I wish American did this on television more. But then again our history is short and brutal !
The whole muckeroo !
Ruth looks extra yummy in this documentary. 🙂
You've spent enough time on the farm, methinks.

Landlords: the worst thing the Brits ever expored.

Sounds like a you problem lol I don't pay for TH-cam premium and I didn't get a single ad 🤷♂️ sucks to suck lol
They created the environmental disaster of Christmas trees? When nobody can breathe anymore due to deforestation we'll know the culprits.
Hardly a disaster compared to all the other ones, chicken little.
It was literally the Germans.

Victorians did NOT bring us Christmas trees. Germans did.

They fully mentioned that.
