This is so exciting! I’m REALLY going to try to make this one work. In the past, (after reading How to Be a Victorian) I’ve thought about trying to email Ruth Goodman and asking her what she practically brings from her historical study into her modern homemaking— sounds like Brigitte Webster would also be a perfect person to ask! That’s what I’m always wanting to learn: what are the things about modern life that I should be even more grateful for (For example, Ruth Goodman said she would never want to go back to Victorian laundry work) and what are the things from the past that actually are the well-trod paths making life richer and (even) simpler.

Well this is right up my alley! I’m not at all familiar with the Tudor time period but I am a lover of different time periods and we in fact celebrate in a Charles Dickens fashion with a Christmas Goose and a Twelfth Night party and tiny in between on all twelve days. Can’t wait to watch!
