My Christmas present this year was the DVD of Tales From The Green Valley, which is the first show they did, where they re-enacted life as 16th century farmers. I have most of the others on DVD and am a bit mystified why I don't have a copy of Wartime Farm! (I may have been given it and it's just not made it to the shelf. I've had a good look.)dolly84 said:Another Ruth Goodman fan here. I used to love the Farm series that she did with the two men, fascinating and all three of the presenters were a pleasure to watch. I wish they would repeat those.

Ooh, I didn’t know about her until I saw the Victorian Farm. I love the fact that she really does the experiments, she wears the clothes and does it all authentically, not just dressing up for the cameras. I will have to see if I can find the Green Valley series somewhere.Life is mainly froth and bubble: two things stand like stone. Kindness in another’s trouble, courage in your own.7

Same here, @j@joedenise! I can eat chocolate til it comes out of my ears (hasn't happened yet but I'm nobly continuing the experiment...) - but can't stand hot chocolate, chocolate cakes, chocolate biscuits (as in the ones with choc in the dough mixture), chocolate ice-cream, chocolate icing...joedenise said:Looks lovely.

Still, I do eat a lot of actual chocolate, so I think I manage to keep up the average...

Rah - That cake looks delicious.
Many thanks for the information about Ruth Goodman. as we don't have a TV I have never seen the series but it sounds great. I have had a little look and the victorian book looks facinating - I'll have to see if I can track down a copy.
