Tales From The Green Valley Series

Around 2009 I had bought a bunch of PAL DVD’s from Amazon, England. This was one of the sets. Just getting around to watching it now. I had to buy a PAL player to see it, but I have about 60 other PAL DVD’s to watch, so it was worth it. I found out it is on YT, so you don’t need a PAL player!

Very interesting series about life in the 1600s. Lots of growing food related things in it. I also got Edwardian & Victorian Farm to watch. I’m very slow with things. I got many hundred DVDs and Blu-ray in line to watch, so there is that. I get most of them from the library for free. But some of them I can’t get and have to buy.

Green Valley life looks like it was very relaxing way to live back then. But maybe not. I guess you would just have to try it. Lots of tradeoffs…no washing machine, no toothpaste, no shower.

Has England made any more historical DVD sets like this that you can recommended?

The Wartime Kitchen & Garden Series was pretty fascinating. It’s 8 parts covering WWII victory gardening in England. Most of them are available to be watched on YouTube.

Ruth Goodman has a whole series of these documentaries, covering the Middle Ages to WW2. Check her Wikipedia page. Most of them are streaming on Amazon.
