Not many MSE lessons to be learnt there unless you've a spare 5 acres and an ox.

I got a few good idea's from the Victorian farm series. :-) I had my husband make me a drying rack hung from the ceiling over the woodburner. It can be lowered by a simple pully system. It works great! Haven't used the tumble dryer since!

Ruth generally has some smashing tips on cooking and cleaning old style.

And as for the lads... well... it's no hardship watching them.. and I'm always in for some historical information. :rotfl:

Not much "on site food", but plenty of places to eat a picnic.

Eh? There's plenty of food. Gwallia Tea Rooms, Vale Restaurant and Cafe Bardi. There's also the bakery. Got some lovely bara brith still hot from the oven last time I went.

I love St. Fagans.

I said "not much choice". I saw the cafe, which was brimming over with people and was a screaming place of chatter, clanging, bashing, kids screaming and general noise and mayhem.

I saw the bakery and went in.... but I'm afraid the sight of the wasps landing on everything put me off buying anything to eat.

Pub across the road is nice though, but pricey (read the menu).

Peter's codpiece was definitely a jewel in the crown ;) :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Thoroughly MS & seriously OS MS - if you like rushlights.

We do & while our method is less telegenic, it is a bit more authentic and because we can make the time for straining the mix, it doesn't smell when burning.
We regard it as fun for all the family - Gilbert White in his Natural History of Selborne documents everyone involved - even "decayed labourers"!
