New Victorian Farm series
« on: December 13, 2011, 08:47:13 pm »
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.
Always have been, always will be, a WYSIWYG - black is black, white is white - no grey in my life! But I'm mellowing in my old age

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.)

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?

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

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!

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.
