I think it would be great to see how a birthday party was, for different ages and maybe around Christmas you could do how they spent Christmas Day
Oh yes! So interesting!!!
Yas!!!
I'd be down for that. There's a historic farm in my state that does tours of the grounds and old home as well as various events through the year, they talk about Victorian era Christmas tradions in December on the weekends and dress up in 1870's style cloths. It happens late in the evening so guest get hot cocoa and there's live music and stuff.
@@RubyGranger8 Yes, that would be very interesting.
off topic but rubys hair looks sooo nice in this video
ikr!
Yes! She has the most beautiful hair!!
Yess
Agree! I noticed this too. 🙂
She looks oldet too, right? Like 25+
Wow the work you must have put into this video!!
Hey! I know your channel, it's amazing 😄
Your channel is incredible
Your channel is absolutely incredible!! Love the recipes!! I have tried a lot of them
Oh my gosh I just had a vision of you in the future presenting historical documentaries on the victorian period. Walking through the country side and little villages and talking to the camera about all sorts of topics.
PS: Your hair looks amazing, this style looks absolutely beautiful on you!
I DID TOO OMG
I thought so too!!!!
I thought so too the new Lucy Worsley but better
Can you make a series- "afternoon tea with ruby" where you could discuss about many things... that would be so fun to watch I think ..
Yes!! I would watch this!!
I would adore this!!! It would be wonderful if they were both pre-recorded and live streams!!!
Amazing idea! Hope Ruby will like it too.
yess please! I love this idea💕
Yes please
Mom is going to be 92 & I 71 we love tea parties thank you so much for the time you put into this for us Have a lovely up & coming week
That's so cute ! 🥺
I love how Ruby's videos bring so many generations together ^^
Just for Ruby:
"A man in Victorian clothes just appeared out of thin air and handed me a fistful of herbs.
I think he might be a Thyme traveller."
This is one of my favorite videos that you have ever made!! It seems like you had a lot of fun making it and it turned out so beautifully!!
As for video ideas, here are a few of my suggestions:
- Victorian Inspired Look Book
-Victorian Inspired Paint With Me (if you enjoy art :) )
- Victorian Study With Me
- The Influence that the Victorian Period has upon Dark Academia
-Victorian Book Read-a-thon
-Victorian Letter Writing
-Victorian Day in the Countryside
- Victorian Inspired Room Tour
If I have more ideas later I will update you! :D
This was honestly way more interesting than I expected! Didn't know there was so much to learn about Victorian tea time :) Great video Ruby!
Meanwhile Martha is in her room counting beans lol
who tf is martha
@@tillidean4461 Ruby's sister
@@tillidean4461 Martha is Ruby’s younger sister. She too has a TH-cam channel and one of her videos is her sitting on her bedroom floor counting how many beans are in a 3kg can. It’s a good watch lol
@@ashleigh_whatever what’s her TH-cam channel?
Could you do Victorian hairstyles please or have someone do them on you? Love the video! So amazing. 🙈🤗🌻
You should check out Jamila Musayeva's channel, I'm sure you'll love it
unrelated to tea parties really but I LOVE your hair like this
Oh yes, dear lord
That was super interesting to watch! As someone who still regularly attends and host tea parties because it’s part of my culture (I’m a Sephardic French jew! Tea parties are a shabbos afternoon activity) it was very interesting to compare how Victorians did it VS how we do it. I’ll probably borrow some of these Victorian recipes for next Saturday!
I’m sure Ruby’s friends are really lucky! They might get to do all these fun stuff with her. How I wish I knew Ruby in real life! This video is aesthetically pleasing and soothes my senses. 😌
This video is so aesthetically pleasing to watch and very interesting, as usual. Thanks for sharing Ruby :)
LOVE that writing block! We have one similar in our family, somewhere, that's been passed down the generations.
A victorian school day sounds interesting!! 😍❤️
This is such a lovely (and interesting) video! I really appreciate the effort you put into it 💖
Ruby is the main character and we are just living in her world. loved this video so much ruby , if my friends started asking me why I am suddenly inviting everyone to drink together I am just gonna show this video to them.
Would be nice to do a lower class Victorian theme.
And go down the mines? Or up to Lancashire to a mill 😂
@@JB-vd8bi would just like a realistic view of Victorian Britain, I love ruby I really do but I think she has romanticised the period.
Wavy hair suits you!
So when do you address the way that afternoon tea culture stemmed from the period's violent, racist, and imperialist culture of overseas domination and subjugation? And the fact that your weird fascination with replicating the victorian era is just imperialist nostalgia? Waiting for that part of this "educational" video....
Say it louder for the people in the back x
Relax....maybe have a cup of tea.
Exactly! I commented about the same thing. At least one person in this comments section agrees with me!! Like I am so annoyed at her Victorian videos. Does she ever consider that so many of her viewers are people from former Victorian colonies whose ancestors were exploited. I am really upset that before making all these videos, she didn't think even once about the colonialism and exploitation that happened during this time!
usually in her victorian videos, she mentions how although there are nice parts, that its history is not as "aesthetically pleasing" as it appears and that it is okay to enjoy the time period, but also realize that there were problems. it seems she may have forgotten to add the disclaimer in this video, but in her other ones, it is there. it is okay to enjoy replicating victorian fashion or having tea parties. whats important, is understanding the problematic portions and learning from them so we can try to not repeat history. but you are more than entitled to not watch victorian recreation videos like ruby's and watch the more nitty gritty ones that are strictly fact, not about tea parties. there are a few great ones if you dig deep on youtube ! :)
She’s not offending anyone by enjoying the lovely parts of history. Stop wasting time forcing yourself to get offended by things for attention, brat.
Loved this video - thank you for letting us appreciate the fine art and adorable quaintness of Victorian Afternoon Tea with you!
Fun fact: the concept of tea (or cha) actually originated in Ancient China, and was only brought to the UK during the mid-17th Century. It is both fascinating and rather amusing to think of how synonymous tea has become with English culture, since its roots are really not very English at all! Even so, it has become an absolute staple in our lives here in the UK, as well as in so many amazing cultures across the globe. I myself am an avid chai enthusiast, and would highly recommend that everyone should try authentically-brewed karak chai at least once in their lives!

Idk why my mind instantly went to the scene in The Sorcerer's Stone, where Oliver Wood was showing Harry how Quidditch worked lol🤣🤣
Haha so true 😂
Hi Ruby, a very informative video, you obviously put a lot of thought and effort into it! Might be worth mentioning (which I know you have in previous videos), that the cooking/cleaning/washing up likely wasn't done by the lady of the house but by a cook and maids, butler "downstairs", and that in many cases these poor souls lived a life of drudgery with very little, if any, time off and were often treated as little more than slaves sleeping in the attic and sharing a bed with other maids, very early starts and very late finishes. I think it's important not to over romanticise an age when working class people had very few rights, poor health and very little security with no NHS, social care or benefits to support them (hence the workhouses where thousands ended their days in misery and abject poverty). Have you thought of doing a day at the seaside with bathing machines and the ladies in their bathing dresses? That's always good for a giggle! You prob don't have access to an actual bathing machine, or the bathing dresses but there's a lot of video footage online. Or a day at the races, transport etc. You could do another on health, illnesses of the day, the remedies used, dental treatments, surgeries etc and the groundbreaking improvements in the treatment of the mentally ill. Fashion and hairstyles of the time? Recipes unique to the time that we don't see now? Just a few ideas. X❤X
I don't know if this is just how I feel. I honestly love your channel Ruby. But these Victorian videos, as someone from a country which was a colony for britishers and which was exploited by britishers for several centuries, no matter how hard I try I can't like these "Victorian" videos. I hope you keep this in mind and so many of your viewers are from the former colonies of under Victoria before making all these videos!
I would love to see more videos about letter writing in the Victorian era!
You’re stunning and I love how much class you have! ☕️
This is what I’m doing today for my husband and children. I’ve done it before years ago and have really missed. Jam was made yesterday and Scones have just come out of the oven and I’m about to make Victoria sponge (like my mum used to make so a bit different to the traditional cake). Your video has helped loads with preparations ❤️
the way your family participates in your videos warms my heart 💌
Correct me if I'm wrong, but plant-based milk didn't exist in the Victorian era 🤣 Just kidding, very enjoyable video, as usual!
ruby, you're looking ever so thin... this isn't a criticism (or a compliment, in fact), just something I hope you realise a lot of people are getting concerned about.
@Retro Girl in a Modern World normally i would be in complete agreement, however i have noticed many people become worried that ruby could have a problem. for example, in a recent video it was noticed her search history included "how many calories in ketchup." this isnt coming from a place of judgement or meanness, but simply concern from an eating disorder surviver.
@@abee2557 Ruby has already said quite clearly on Insta that she does not intend to comment on this further. If people truly cared about her they would respect what she's said and leave it alone. She's a 21 yr old woman with intelligence, self awareness and a supportive family whom she can turn to if necessary. Constant commenting on this issue on social media must be very stressful for her, even if meant well.
@Male genital health educational videos - 18+ only I think so too, but there's a faction of followers who are going on about this daily. Ruby has said she won't comment on this further so what's the point in continuing the comments? Who is it helping? In fact it's likely doing the opposite as these comments are removed from Ruby's account, presumably by Ruby herself.
İstanbul'dan sevgiler.... alt yazıları Türkçe olursa çok memnun olurum 🥰💋
Watching your videos always gives me a sense of calmness. Keep growing ✨
Also off topic, but I love your hair!!!
What a shame that we've lost a dedicated time of the day to rest, refresh, talk, and have a little reset in the middle of the day - makes me think a bit of the siesta. Would love to see a video on Victorian poetry!
I'm indian and my family and I drink tea together every afternoon! Sometimes we enjoy it with homemade goods. We always have a conversation while tea time, and hear my sister practicing her piano. Many others (at least bengalis because that's what I'm) spend their afternoons like this. It's not exactly the same as victorian tea time, but it's a time dedicated to rest, refresh and talk!
In Spain we still have siesta after lunch, specially during the hottest months of the year, and that mid afternoon snack, mainly because most people have dinner at around 21 or 22 pm. Although the siesta and snack depends of your daily life, if you have time to stop for a bit or not. But whenever people have time they do actually do those things.
Also mid morning snack exists too, specially for students and adults at work. This depends again on how soon you have to wake up because our lunch is normally at around 14 pm, so the mid morning coffee/snack break would be at around 11 am.
Yes, we do work and study as much as everyone else, we just do everything later than most people. In places like Italy this is a thing as well, it depends very much of your lifestyle but is part of our latin culture I guess.
In Sweden we have something called 'fika' which have around 2-3 PM and even in some workplaces you have it where you gather your co workers and have a chat/break while drinking usually coffee and eat something sweet. On birthdays this is the time when you have your cake and stuff. I can't go a day without having fika. I usually have a sandwich and some cookies. During the summer I usually go for ice cream.
I definitely want to give a tea party like this a go with my friends now, thank you Ruby for such an interesting and fun video!
watching now during the premier and so far i'm loving it ruby!!
Hi, amazing video. Yesterday I was looking some videos about Christmas tea and I found your channel. Greetings from Peru (South America)❤🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪
Hi Ruby, thanks so much for this video! It's amazing. I'm so curious about that artichoke and pesto sandwich filling you mentioned. I go to a lot of these afternoon tea places (which is my channel's focus), and have never seen any of the fillings you mentioned. Perhaps it's because I'm not a vegetarian, but I'm dying to try them. It would be awesome if you make a video of those fillings you mentioned :)
What does "round games" mean? Tabletop games?
Very knowledgeable. I love your history lesson ☕
I’ve been marathoning your videos for an up coming unit study I’ll be doing with my daughter…. We will be read Anne of Green Gables and I’m hoping it will help to fuel a love of reading…. She is 13 and getting her to read is like pull teeth out of an alligators mouth…. 😞😞😞 Are there any books you could recommend for teen girls that might spark that fire and show her why I love books so much???? 🥰🥰🥰
Really enjoyed this video....just stumbled onto looking for history...I learned alot.....I enjoy castles and would enjoy seeing all aspects of the daily life for all ...
"Victorian dinners were actually very very late, they could be at like 9 pm sometimes" laughs in Spanish. PS: lovely video, that part cracked me up though.
I forgot to ask, do you watch a youtube person named, Bernadette Banner? She is in New York and is a historical clothing expert. Also another site for historical shoes called, "American Duchess Shoes"
You"re such an inspiration! These videos are so interesting, and they inspire me to do something more, something fun with my research area as well.
Also, I think you will publish so many great books, and I just cannot wait to read them all, haha, and listen to your audio books 😊
Victorian queen 💕😊
I absolutley love yr channel. I cam across it the other day and I love it!! I love yr dresses as well. Where do you get them? I would love to get similar items but, don't know where to shop. Thank you so much for all you do to teach us of the Victorian Era! I am absolutely in love with Victorian times
Where, oh, where, is your snow , white table cloth ?... A bare wooden table, would simply not be contemplated.
That was fascinating. Just a thought, there was no mention of tablecloths and napkins? Were they not a thing back in Victorian times? Off to make cakes for W.I tea party tomorrow 😊
I really appreciate the history, and that you mentioned the Duchess of Bedford, because most people just say Queen Victoria was bored one day and voila! Afternoon tea! Thank you, Ruby💕
When I was a child, I used to read a series of books called "the famous five" (by Enid Blyton). The characters in that book always seem to have a grand tea ( well, most of their meals are grand) and, I was wondering if you read them as a kid too?
I have questions. Do they just let the excess water in the teapot? Won't that over brew the tea leaves? Or they do something to that so over-brewing will be prevented. Perhaps, they pour exact measurement of water for the number of people.
Ruby granger I wonder back then when woman wore gloves imagine how sweaty there hands would probably get. But they probably made gloves breathable
Greetings from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 I will make a tea party soon . 😊
A children's Christmas in Victorian times would be lovely to watch :)
Women were discouraged to talk about anything scandalous, gossip, etc.
So no tea during tea then 😆
I love your wavy hair in this video so cute!! :)
Off topic but she looks so much better and healthier in this video ilysm ruby and you have been my role since 2016
I don't eat meat unless it would otherwise go to waist. This philosophy of not wasting has made me horrified by people throwing away so much of the animals that they have killed to eat. My family once hit a deer and rather than waste, we ate her, using every piece. organ meat used to be more common before factory farming made it easier to be picky and throw away most of an animal.
Be like Victorians if you're gonna eat meat: use every piece.
omg i'm french and really like this lifestyle, cause i'm a tea lover and a alice in wonderland lover! and you are the perfect british melt between alice and miss hermione granger :D or maybe we can see as well a little bit of Tolkien with hobbit lifestyle 😊
I love this vídeo! ❤️☕ Thanks Ruby
Wow! The whole process is stunning! Your research is immensely interesting, thank you, Miss Granger, for sharing it! Definitely worths a try with friends!
Such a lovely video! Great work! My personal favourite finger sandwich combination is cream cheese and cucumber on whole wheat bread. Pretty standard as well😄.
If you ever do a part two to this or anything else involving sugar and Victorian England pls do mention the role and toll that played in the enslavement of millions of Africans of various tribes. Thanks
I absolutely love your videos!!
Hej,can you tell more In a video about your home. Is this bought home or you have it from generations? And other. Because you have a lot historical things and I am wondering :)
You should be royal you are so victorious people should know watching your videos tell me alot about Victorians life
Just to add: the regular consume of tea appears in 1622 when Catherine of Braganza (Catarina de Bragança- Portuguese name) brought herbs with her to England as a result of her marriage with Charles the II. She had the habit of drinking tea, and so, the whole court started to follow her manners) :)
Now I want to host a Victorian tea party
I am very late with my comments/questions… I also wonder how the tea doesn't get too strong after some time with the loose tealeaves still swimming in the teapot...?
Wow! One of your best Videos so far!! Great job!!!
Thanks for making Victorian video🎥 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I love the whole video😍😍 but did anyone else spotted the beautiful bottle with daisies on ?? 11:12
It’s so beautiful 😍
I love your Victorian videos! ♥️♥️♥️
Real English rose, lovely English traditions.
Ruby, you're so very thin. I am concerned. Please drink lots of water and get enough sleep. I love your content so much. Take care.
@Retro Girl in a Modern World You'd rather see Ruby deteriorate in health and not speak about it just to keep her from "anxiety and stress". okay got it.
And no, I don't have to be a doctor to notice that,thank you very much.
i am sure you mean no harm, but commenting on someone elses weight when you do not know their situation can be harmful. i'm sure you just want the best for her, but comments like these can be insulting, triggering, etc. ruby has stated that she will not comment on the situation further, as she has been asked about it before. please try to keep that in mind because i'm sure you are coming from a place of love
At our library we had Beatrice Potter historian seminar with girl scouts serving with their family favorite teapots The girls were so involved with saying their favorite memory of family gatherings with the family teapot . Also the girls wore white gloves while serving they were so adorable!!!
Amazing video Ruby! I appreciate the hard work you put into it! 💕 greetings from Mexico!
Your videos are always so calming to watch
My name is Anna-Maria!
Oh, how interesting! ❤️
I learned so much from this video! Thank you Ruby!!
Thank you for all of the effort and creativity your put into this. It is a treat to watch.
Ruby's hair♡
does the hostess ask the guests how many sugars they wanted and added them? or did everyone add their own sugar?
Your future husband will be such a lucky man
I would love to do something like that and write handwritten letters to someone but I dont know anyone who likes these thinks 😩😢
You need a pretty cotton tablecloth for the table, preferably embroidered.
you were born in the wrong generation
the way i like to make cucumber finger sandwiches is with a small piece of soft white bread, a layer of whipped cream cheese, thinly sliced cucumber, topped with dill and a little bit of salt. I brought them to a party once, they were a favorite!
Thank you for sharing ! X
I'm interested in country houses and house parties.
Congratulations🎉🎊 for reaching 600K above subcribers 😊.
I seriously need to know where she got that thing she puts her letter materials in.
An authentic one would have been with the authentic ingredients and vegan doesn't cut it
I’d love to see her do a mini how to series on Victorian or Edwardian and earlier times
I’d love to do that too!
You have a kind heart and a beautiful soul♥️
I want to see how many people here because lili from tekken
This video was simply lovely.
I love to see the path that this channel has taken over the years! so glad to see you making videos on topics you love :) xx
You’re the friend I need in life lol
I so liked your hair wow this is so good
And this is a video very i liked wow wow wow
