My Granny born 1890 told me many times about her wash days always on a Monday, took all day. She had 6 brothers all farm workers and she told me in the summer the sheets were dried over the hedges to be bleached. She also injured a little finger badly when it was caught in the mangle. Her finger was flattened. So seeing this programme brought back all the tales she told me. She used to cook Tongue as well but put it into a bowl and pressed it with a heavyweight on top of a plate. This is a good programme. ;)

I do not know if this program is responsible or not but while my website normally gets 1 or 2 searches a month for mangel worzels, so far this month I've had 20.

:-*Loved watching the Victorian Farm, and even though I am in my 60's would love to try and plough using the horse. Is there anyone here in Angus who would let me have a go?
Regards Cindy

Cindy. Do the Heavy Horses place along the Dundee/Perth Road not carry on the tradition of ploughing with a horse? Worth checking.

:D :D

Hi Carol
Many thanks for the info on ploughing with horses, will try and get in touch and see if they would just let me have a try, I love horses and to be honest would have been quite happy to move into that little cottage, I have learnt so many new things (who said they cannot teach old dogs new tricks). IRemember my aunt with her dolly tub she still used to dolly the washing even after getting a washing machine, wanted the clothing to be clean before going into the new fangled machine!!!!!!!!!

What did you think to the dress Ruth made I was quite impressed.
Regards Cindy
