I've just been googling for tips on hanging washing in the wind (it's blowing a gale up here) and found a lovely website about the 1900's (apologies if it's already been posted).

It's childhood recollections of everyday life in a working class family in the early 1900's, written by the owners mother. It's a lovely read for anyone interested, definately old-style. :D

    Lovely website.
    I love looking back to the olden days and have recently been to Beamish Museum.
    A great day out and you can look round old shops and houses.

    What a fab website! I've been researching mine and OH's family history, looking especially at the turn of the century, and it is really interesting to hear what life was really like when our grandparents and great granparents were young

    I don't want to make you jealous but I only live about 5-10 minutes away from Beamish Museum. :D
