Ben Sansum of Godmanchester, England, has fashioned his life around the 1940s -especially his home, which is completely furnished in the accoutrements of the period. I can certainly understand his feelings about furnishings, because things were built to be beautiful and to last back then. There are some drawbacks, though, like the lack of permanent press clothing and non-stick skillets. Sansum even washes his clothes by hand! I collect antiques, but I wouldn’t want to do without an automatic washer and dryer, and a computer. The rest of the family couldn’t do without TV. But Sansum doesn’t do completely without, either! -via Nag on the Lake
The trouble is, I kept expecting him to come across a dead man with a knife in his back, or some other artifact of a Ms. Marple visit!
And the later Turn Back Time: The Family (YouTube, episode 1) wherein three families have to live in different eras spanning 100 years, in classes according to their ancestry.
Very well worth the watch :)
