tonymaillman Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Anybody here ever fancied spending a few days (or weekend) living life how it was hundreds of years ago ? no electric, gas, etc etc ? a few of us toyed with the idea a couple of years ago because there seemed to be a growing demand for this kind of 'escapism' from a lot of people today ........ watch this space If you commited yourself to doing this what period would you like to spend the time living in ?

observer Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Well we've still got a lot of the housing to make you at home in the Victorian period Mary! Don't they have some sites around the Country Tone, that do early British and Saxon lifestyles? I wouldn't mind observing though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonymaillman Posted February 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Obs if you ever get chance have a trip to either Bede's world or West Stow ....... cracking places ! Warwick castle has craftsmen on a 6 month basis throughout the season, you live as you would have done in the 15th century ......... I stupidly turned down the chance to do a six month stint there a few years ago Legion ........ you don't need to go back to the 60's for those things ....... all available nowadays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
