- Travelling Back In Time// Joerg and I went to Blists Hill last Sunday which is a living museum showing how people during the Victorian Period lived, worked and shopped. It's such a beautiful museum with wonderful people and so well kept. We all tend to romanticise this period but let's face it, hardly anyone of us would have had a real chance in life. Times were hard, let alone no rights for women at all. We love the houses and cottages and a lot of the interior of the time but other than that are quite happy to live now. We hope you like the video, it's always so great to hear from you. Kirsten & Joerg

You guys are my absolute fave youtubers. It’s always a joy to share your adventures.
Thank you so much Oli!
Kirsten you and Joerg videos are such a treat. Love how sweet you are. Love from the USA
Thank you so very much!
I love that I get to enjoy England, vicariously, through your tours. Thank you both.
Thanks so much Marlene!
This was a wonderful look back to the past. Even better because it was a living museum! I really love this kind of history. Thanks for sharing your day with the rest of us.
Thanks so much Terri.
I have enjoyed all the little trips and especially this one. Thank you for taking us (from California) along!!
Thanks so much Denise.
I’m from Southern California myself. Things are so different so it’s a treat to see these videos.
Everything was so beautifully designed and crafted back in "the good old days"; from the graphic designs on the product containers, the shelves and cupboards, warm floors, cash registers and display cases. This is a wonderful village, a treat for the eyes; thank you for another delightful trip to England!
Whilst I find it a great pleasure to see this wonderful living museum, my eyes are filled with tears as I see our culture and history under massive attack and in consequence rapidly disappearing - undoubtedly forever.
It is all the more incumbent upon you therefore, to keep up your sterling work and I thank you profusely for your effort.
You two are so sweet to watch interacting with each other.
Thanks so much!
What an interesting place! Im fascinated with the Miner owners fireplace, what a piece! Great video.
Thanks so much for watching. Yes, a great fireplace, we had one like that in one of the cottages we rented from The Landmark Trust, it's here on TH-cam as well.
An excellent video! I love the Victorian era so much! Would love to visit this museum that you've shared with us! Thank you both so much! You're so fun! I always look forward to your videos and seeing you both!
Thanks so much!
I love your voice Kirsten 😍
Patrícia Batista Thanks so much!
Delightful! So glad you took us with you!
Thakns so much!
Kirsten and Joerg, what a fascinating day at the Living Museum!! It did seem extremely cold, which was evident to me when the horse strolled by with a saddle blanket. Thank you both so much for taking us places we most likely will never see, were it not for your generosity, graciousness, camera and calming narration. Kirsten, the black hat looked lovely on you, and it never would have occurred to me that it would have been heavy and bulky. Imagine wearing one for long stretches of time! Have a wonderful week, and until we see you next time, I send my great appreciation. Jane Lewis Gendreau, Northern Arizona, USA.
Thanks so much Jane, that's so kind! Oh yes, the big hats were quite heavy compared to modern hats.
OMG,- you said it all! I wanted to write exactly what you did,- both about our great gratitude for opportunity to see all these nice places, which we would hardly visit otherwise,- and about how much that luxurious black hat suited Kirstens face! She looked so glamorous&elegant!
Hi you two another beautiful video you are such genuinely sweet people always smile when I see you’ve created another unique video xx
Kim Ghoss Thanks so much, that means a lot.
Sadly, the school master's method is reminiscent of the bullying used by many nuns in 1950s. So happy to see laughter from "student"/visitors! Thank you for a lovely day at Blists Hill.
Oh Gosh very true, so sad - it was strange to experience it even just for half an hour.
Ellen, I was thinking the same thing about the nuns even in the 60’s and early 70’s! Scary what they could get away with. And one of my neighbors was truly bullied by them for being left-handed!! I’m glad some things have changed for the better:)
You'd be surprised to know, that in some countries many nasty teachers behaved very similar even in 1980-s!
For Christmas wow! I can’t believe that behavior was still tolerated them. I pray it’s not happening anymore.
@@maryguise9443 I have just read this article on Yahoo: "Spanking and other forms of corporal punishment are incredibly polarizing practices in the US. In many states, it is still legal for teachers and principals to employ corporal punishment in public schools.
That said, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has made its stance on spanking clear. In an updated policy statement published in 2018, the group advocated for a ban on corporal punishment, as it "increases aggression in young children in the long run and is ineffective in teaching a child responsibility and self-control."
"In fact, new evidence suggests that it may cause harm to the child by affecting normal brain development," the statement added. "Other methods that teach children right from wrong are safer and more effective.""
Another lovely video. We all love the romantic side without the hardship yes. So nice that places like this exist. Thankyou for taking us there
Throughly enjoyed it. xx
Thanks so much! Exactly, I think so many of us think we would have owned a place like Downton Abbey whereas in reality we would have worked in the kitchen if we were lucky.
@@KirstenJoerg I know I probably would have but saying that my grandmothers family had maids and had a house with a tennis court. I have a picture of the front of the house. Its has gone now but the name remains on the brick posts. I love old fashioned things and times or as it's called oldy worldy 😊 have a lovely evening xx
Wonderland,wonderland ,Wonderland a nice pleace !!!!!!!!!!! Time stand still in this Village!!!!!!!💗 Maria
I love this historic theme towns, I been to Williamsburg Virginia and loved it so I hope someday I can go to this one.😍
I heard great things about Williamsburg, must be so gorgeous.
My favorite evening treat to watch your fantastic, historical escapes. But I couldn't resist watching in the middle of the day 😍 Such wonderful treasures of a time past in the UK.
Awww that's so kind and really appreciated, thanks so much!
My two favorite people ❤️
Thank you!
Hello Kirsten and Jörg,
I really enjoy following you and I'm especially pleased with today's video because I visited Ironbridge a couple of years ago with my family. We visit England regularly and love to visit stately homes and gardens and enjoy the beautiful landscape around the Midlands with our english friends. Your videos are a great inspiration for new places of interest we can visit during our next stay in May. So keep going! Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland!
Vielen Dank liebe Susanne! Ja, Ironbridge ist auch wirklich schön, leider war der Severn etwas zu hoch, so dass wir dieses Mal nicht dort hin konnten aber es hat uns bei unserem letzten Besuch auch total gut gefallen. Viele Grüße
What an adventure! So interesting to see how people live in the past but so grateful we’re living in today’s world!
Thanks so much for watching Lisa.
Hello Kirsten, really loved your video. Imagine having a little specialty shop for everything. Love the hats you tried on, I adore the Victorian era ❤️
Thanks so much Suzie!
Delightful as always, thanks to you both ! Enjoyed every minute of it.
Thanks so much Robin.
Beautiful Thank you for sharing! Hoping that the victims from the floods, have relief soon!
Thanks so much for watching. Yes, we hope so too.
Absolutely stunning video. You always capture the most beautiful shots ! You are too right in that we often romanticize the past forgetting the daily hardships of the people. I will happily take present day with all of its opportunities.
I’m hungry for chips with salt and vinegar now...yum ! ☺️
alistair skarsgård Thank you so much! Absolutely, definitely very different and tough times. The chips were so good.
I love traveling along with the two of you to see new places. TFS this historic living museum Blists Hill with us. Love from Louisiana😘xo
Thanks so much!
Kristen if I need a pick me up, I just watch one of your videos and it lifts my spirits! Thank you!🤗
So happy to hear this, thank you!
Hello Kirsten and Jorge the step back in time was great shops were lovely the teacher was very bossy my grandma was born in 1896 she was a school teacher 1916 I have lots of items from her leather riding gloves with fringe fit me perfectly school books purses even curling tongs etc I'm watching your video again enjoyed it very much thanks to you both enjoy your evening 🤗
Thanks so much Karen! Oh my, the teacher, we can how it must have been. Your grandma was experiencing it, not easy at all.
What a lovely place, it was really like stepping back in time ❤️ everything had such good quality back then & so full of character. My mum was left handed & got her knuckles hit to make her use her right hand, it never worked as she is still left handed. In fact, my whole family are left handed 😉. Look forward to seeing your Northumberland adventures next week. Lotsa ❤️
Thanks so much for watching! Oh my, that's just terrible - your mum must have been so strong because it didn't break her.
I love time traveling with you two! My mother was left handed and the teachers used to tie her hand behind her back and make her write with her right hand.
Diane Young It was so crazy, wasn’t it. My teacher at school wanted to force me as well and my parents were able to say he should drop it. I‘m so grateful.
@@KirstenJoerg I am so glad that your parents stopped it. It was a terrible thing to do to children.
Fiance was left handed. school in communist times made them switch hands, and now they're ambidextrous. they prefer the right hand for some activities and the left for others.
I used to get slapped on my knuckles with a ruler at 5 years old for just talking in class, I can feel the pain your poor mum went through!
@@sharonjojo Ouch! and judging by your name, you didn't even go to school in a communist country, where these punishments were common -at least they were in Romania...
This was just so much fun! I really enjoyed having this little vacation after a long day at work. Those pigs made me smile🥰. And Kristen, you trying on Victorian hats was adorable! Thanks, as always, for taking me along on this beautiful adventure 💕
Thank you so much Debra!
That was so interesting , informative and entertaining!
You two never disappoint.....thank you again.
Thanks so much!
That was so fun!!! What a culture shock🤣 The teacher scared me a bit. You guys always find the best places to visit. Can’t wait to see North Umberland!! Thanks for taking us along ❤️
Thanks so much! Absolutely, the teacher was scary (in real life - such a lovely man though) but he did a great job in showing us how it was back then.
Fascinating & Fun, as always. Loved the Hats! 🙂 Thank you.
Thanks so much!
That was awesome! I can only imagine how amazing it is in person...thanks for the tour.
Thank you so very much for watching Debra.
Bellissimo, adorabili luoghi😍😍😍👏👏👏bravissimi❤
Love the many places you take us to. 🥀🌷
Thank you!
This was such fun thank you. I would ❤️to see the town although my very stubborn hubby would never be able to sit in that classroom with the strict teacher without wanting to knock him out. Lovely outing as always . ❤️😸🐠
Oh my Gosh, this made me laugh. The teacher was perfect in his role, it was great to experience but glad times have changed that's for sure.
Kirsten: Did you enjoy it ? Me: Oh yes !! Then Joerg answers I remember she was asking him !! Its easy to get very caught up in your videos ! This place is about 20 mins from me !! XX
Awww thank you so much. You should go and visit, it's lovely.
@Autumnal sunset 😅 Me too !! Thought she asks me 😯 It is like being with them.....
@@bookprincess612 Yes, it is !!
Another beautiful video. So looking forward to your Northumberland trip.
Thanks so much!
Hello! I’ve missed the two of you. I truly enjoyed our journey through Bliss Hills. I look forward to another day trip next week. Take care.

Thank you!
What a delightful village. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks so much for watching.
Beautiful Kirsten and handsome Joerg.. I just LOVE watching these videos.. Such a lovely couple in such wonderful places... Such beautiful scenes you both show us.. And I just have to say.. That school teacher is MEAN !!! lol Glad my teachers were not like that when I was in school. I would have had to rebel against that teacher.. lol I want to thank you both for sharing all your travels with us. And for allowing us inside your home to see all you are doing with your remodel.. Remember, God loves you both. May God continue to bless you both.. ❤
You two are fabulous ambassadors for visiting the UK. The Department of Tourism should put you on the payroll. Your videos are so fun and interesting!
Thanks so much Terry.
This was a truly delightful visit. Thanks for sharing it with us. Love from the USA.
Thanks so much!
Absolutely amazing!! We have something similar here in North Carolina called Olde Salem. Love all the shops especially the dress shop!!
MoodyGirl Beauty Thanks so much!
Kirsten and Joerg thank you for another fascinating video and tour of this beautiful Victorian town. Love your calm and tranquil voices and narration that is so relaxing. I also simply adore Joerg 's few words in between sentences. What a nice combo the two of you are! Looking forward to seeing more. ❤️
Thanks so much!
I watch all your videos over and over,love them that much.Those villages, cottages,castles etc. make me feel good watching them.Thank you.
Wow, thank you!
Thank you for another great video 😊.
Beautiful Kirsten 👋😁
So happy to hear it, thank you!!
Great video! Thanks Kirsten! Greatly admire Joerg’s peaceful demeanor!
Thanks so much Charles.
That was so much fun. I loved every step! Thank you so much! Love from Idaho
Thanks so much Latricia!
The bonnet is such a sensible design. I wish we could wear them today, without being stared at. Loved the classroom scene!
Oh yes me too, this is exactly what I said to Joerg - they are so great for sun protection and just amazing.
All your videos are absolutely charming and lovely. We travel with you, have tea with you, visit with you these amazing small English villages that I adore. Each time (each video) is a peaceful and calming moment, enjoying watching beautiful things, beautiful houses, beautiful landscape. THANK YOU for sharing. I am addicted now!!! Hahaha. 😘😘😘
Thank you so much Pascale!
I love, love your videos! Thank you sooo much! And warm hugs from Russia!
We have to thank YOU!
How wonderful to venture with you! Thank you both, I really enjoyed this video. Yes, and I can't imagine trying to learn & strive in those days but I guess when it's familiar that's how one lived. I was born left handed apparently and was forced to do do hours of writing exercises as a young girl. Am now very right handed with the worst script & printing one ever saw. 🤔💕
Thanks so much for watching! Yes, I feel quite lucky - my teacher wanted me to write with my right hand but since it was the late 70s already my parents said no and won.
Some day I may get to England to see all the places you have shown. We have a place in Sturbridge Massachusetts which you could compare to Blists Hill, and I’ve visited there and loved it. Love your videos 🥰
Oh I bet it's beautiful there Claudine. Thanks so much for watching.
I live over by Worcester MA and all the time I was watching this I was thinking of Old Sturbidge Village. Hello to my neighbor in MA. We both love England as well as Kirsten's wonderful channel. Small world 😘🥰🥰😘
What a lovely tour. I was thinking to ask about the weight of those hats, Kirsten, when you answered my question. They looked very heavy indeed. What a lovely tour, thank you! As always, your music was so enjoyed. Hope you thawed out nicely.😉
Thanks so much!
Hi Kirsten and Joerg, what a wonderful place Blists Hill is, taking us all back in time. Thank you so much for taking us along. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour xx
Thanks so much Maria!
Thanks for taking me along with you on your journey “Travel Back in time”. I loved The adventures. Wonderful scenery and shops. I send my love from Canada 🇨🇦.
In the 1990's my daughter went to a Church of England school (for Americans: this is a public school) in Camberwell, London. At an assembly, the headmistress (who was practically from Victorian times since she retired soon after) asked a boy who was not sitting quietly like all the other children, to stand up. When he stood up she barked at him to take his hands out of his pockets. Surely a carryover from Victorian education! She also stood outside the school every morning ringing a huge handbell which indicated that the children needed to line up to get ready to enter the school.
This was normal procedure in schools in the 50's also. Nothing out of the ordinary also having the slipper if you misbehaved and your hands rapped with a ruler.
I feel like I could live in this time, so simple. Thanks for the beautiful video!
Awww it's great to experience it a little but actually glad to live nowadays when you think of all the hardship, illness and no rights for women.
What a magical village... A real time travel. I just adored! And vinegar on «chips» is perfect... (Your little birds dress is lovely... =) ) I hope you had a nice cozy evening by the fire... (We are expecting 40cm of snow in the woods... ) Hugs
It's such a lovely place. Both of us caught a little cold because it was so freezing in the school but we are already a little better (yes, we enjoyed the fire at home so much). Oh my, 40cm of snow is a lot.
@@KirstenJoerg Happy you feel better... xx Yes, it is a lot of snow though you had so much rain lately... I hope you were okay...
@@gaenadasylva Thanks so much. Yes, we are quite lucky here, some people in the North had bad flooding though.
Lovely! Reminds me of my grandparents houses when I was a child, one cold tap and toilet down the garden!!!
Thanks so much for watching Lynne.
Okay, so now I am going to have to try french fries or chips with vinegar and salt. It sounds really good and I enjoy new tastes in my food! Lovely place, thank you for sharing!
We don't have that in Germany and we really like that here lol. Thanks so much for watching.
Very pioneer, lovely shop. Glad you both are having a wonderful day.
what a wonderful place ! i could play there during
days . Thanks Kirsten to share all your fabulous moments , it makes me so happy and your voice destressed me so much ! have a sweet day !
Thanks so much!
Very interesting, thank you, 😍enjoyed the Victorian clothing shop, you suit hats🤗
Thanks so much Petra!
What an interesting place, thank you Kirsten and Joerg for taking us along. Love stepping back in time...but I agree, only for a time and just pretending. The class room looked like it was fun, but wow, he did not fool around. So sad about how they treated sick people. Sorry you were so cold...hope you enjoyed your warm fire when you got home.
It's such a great museum Linda, thanks so much for watching. It wasn't too bad, just the wind made it feel a lot colder than it actually was. We loved our fire at home.
It feels like I’m from a past life looking at all that, my mum was born in 1933 she told me all about her upbringing and all the recipes her granny would teach her looking at these little shops and product bottles it’s just a dream, I’ve often dreamed about finding a place like this I wish there was a time machine what year and place would you travel back too 😊
Thank you very much for this video, it really gives the spirit of places, not just lovely pictures) The school visit is absolutely amazing X)))))
Thank you!
Tausend Dank,für diesen wundervollen virtuellen Urlaub,liebe Kirsten und lieber Jörg. ❤⚘
Das waren,für mich,20 Minuten pure Erholung. Balsam für die Seele.
Und ich bin immer wieder begeistert,mit wieviel Liebe,Zeit und Mühe, Ihr Eure Videos macht.
Es ist immer wieder eine Freude,Eure Videos anzuschauen.
Habt wieder ganz lieben Dank dafür ⚘❤⚘❤⚘❤
Herzlichste Grüße, Claudia 😘
Vielen Dank liebe Claudia, das ermuntert uns immer unheimlich für alle Videos, die wir noch machen möchten. Dankeschön, dass Du Dir die Zeit nimmst zu kommentieren und viele Grüße nach Deutschland
@@KirstenJoerg 🥰
Well that was fun.. Thank you 😊😊😊 and those piggies were adorable.. ❤❤❤❤🐷🐷
Thanks so much Pamela. Yes, we loved them too.
Love the fact it's history relived! Thanks for taking us along!
What a fascinating place to visit, love all the plaster ware. So sorry you're a social misfit!😂
Thanks so much for watching!
Thank you for taking us along with you!!
Thank YOU!
Every video I watch I think, “ this is my favorite” lol! But really, this truly is my favorite! Such a dichotomy- though-nostalgia regarding the slower times, the beautiful stores and merchandise ( I could stay in the store, where you tried on hats, all day!) But awful when contrasted with the almost barbaric ways in school & workplace😕 This video was beautiful done! I always get excited when I see a new one pop up😍 Thank you for sharing- everyone hit the “like” button!
Thank you so much for this! We felt the very same way, the hat shop was lovely (as was the lady in the there) but school and work back then (let alone no rights for women), simply horrible.
What a interesting step back in time. You looked lovely in the bonnet. When I was at school naughty boys were caned. I remember sitting quietly in class aged about six and the teacher walked by and hit me on the knuckles with a ruler. To this day I have no idea what I did. I’m 71 now and I still remember it well. Love your videos TFS.💕
Thanks so much for watching Zelda. Oh dear, teachers were so horrible back then.
Thanks for taking us on another great trip! So many little treasures to comment on. That black hat looked amazing on you! Loved the schoolmaster! Victorian times were truly hard but everyone has already commented that most of us romanticize the era. I can’t help it! I am obsessed with the past. The pigs were so adorable! I also am now craving chips with salt and vinegar! Thanks for taking the time to do this. You both do such a wonderful job. It’s a real talent. Love to you both! ❤️❤️
Thank you so much Karen! Loved the pigs too and the school teacher did a fantastic job in showing us how it was back then (in real life he was such a kind man).
Dear Kirsten, I'm maad about England and you really feed my soul with your videos and I also find them soo calming, love you!
I would love to go back in time to my past life in the UK. Thank you for making it happen. I watch you guys every day when possible after work.
Thanks so much!
What a nice time we had! I felt as though I entered each shop with you. Thanks again for sharing. 💖💖
Thanks so much!
What a delightful place to visit...adored the hats..reminded me of my mother &I trying on hats once & giggling over them....I could almost taste the chips,only Britain does them right..thanks for the outing
Thanks so much Linda!
Thank you Kirsten!🌞
Thank YOU!
Absolutely fabulous video. You are showing many of us, places we will never see, in person. Your videos are always pleasant, well done, informative, and a pure joy to watch. Thank you from Alaska.
Thanks so much!
What a fun & interesting day out. It’s great to be able to visit places with you both through your delightful, charming & very professionally made films.
Thanks so much Margaret.
You guys are such an adorable couple! It's been great taking these lovely walks throughout England with you. I've just found you and instantly became a fan!! I hope someday you can go to Jane Austen's House and take us with you! Best regards from Brazil!
Thank you so much! Oh we went to the Jane Austen Museum last April and it was so amazing. Unfortunately that's on our German channel.
Such a fun and interesting day out.
Thank you for a lovely day out with you both xx
Thanks so much Rosa.
