Did anyone watch it tonight? I think it's a new series as they were talking about seeing the old cottage again and how it had been improved, and trying Clumper out after he had gone lame previous time. Anyway, I enjoyed it.
-
I did enjoy it as well but wish they would concentrate on a job from start to finish instead of flashing through how the soap or butter was made for example.

Abso-bloomin'-lutely! We're still trying to catch them using the silage they made in a clamp in the field (actually I think that may have been on Edwardian Farm, but same applies.)
-
Aw, I didn't know it was on :(
-
I saw a bit, but I thought it was a repeat of last years 'Victorian Christmas' maybe I should have stopped and watched more :(.
The book they use is available as a download from an american Library, very interesting.
I wonder if there will be an 'Edwardian Farm' Christmas?
-
I sometimes wish I had a television. (only sometimes though ::))

You don't have a link for that, do you?

Sylvia, I don't know what your internet connection is like, but if it's broadband you should be able to watch it on iPlayer:
BBC iPlayer - Victorian Farm Christmas: Episode 1 (http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00pccnn/)
-
It was a repeatof last years I believe!
-
i think it's a repeat, i'm sure i remember the hay making part! - still going to watch it again though ;D
-
It seems to me to be different episodes cobbled together -so, in one scene Christmas is a few months away, then it's very soon , then they're haymaking, then making Christmas presents....
My husband swears he saw modern bricks in the middle of the brick clamp. Did anyone else?
Still good though!
-
i thought that about the first few bricks out of the kiln.

Hi Sally
This seems to throw up an error, but if you type "The Book of the Farm" into the search box on that page you'll find it.

Thanks Dave, I should have thought to put a link in, but I think I found it through 'Google' anyway.
-
Thank you, Sally :thumbsup: :thumbsup: A whole new world has opened up with iPlayer!! :) :)

Not the best (or safest!!) way to make soap. I watched that bit from behind a pillow :o
-
I thought that, are you not supposed to wear all sorts of protective clothing!!! Probably why it did not show it all.
-
At the very least safety goggles Hermit. I have burn marks up my arms from where caustic soda crystals have floated onto me, they are very light weight and the powder gets into the air, once I stupidly burnt my tongue by mouth breathing as I poured the caustic soda out (I had a cold at the time!) the light powder was airborne and in my mouth in no time, ick ick!! Beef tallow does make a nice soap though I have to say (although we don't use that at baaath time so vegetarians can still use our products ;) )
-
And did you see the very first Christmas Card ever sent??? ??? so close to that cup of tea she was waving around - and no white kid gloves either ::) ::) ::) ::)

I saved it to dvd to watch later - 12 months later I might get to watch it! (on the dvd)

It is a repeat of the Christmas special. It was filmed at the museum at Acton Scott in Shropshire. The museum is running courses next year.
