Victorian Kitchen: Luncheon



I think the best thing about these videos is that two of the presenters were actually in service and are talking about their own experiences. I suspect that today to find anything remotely similar you would have to get access to one of the Queens palaces.

Ruth Mott and Peter Thoday along with Harry Dodson show us what the Victorian used to eat for their lunch.

Bird Table Timelapse



A shot collection of ten second video clips taken with my plant cam time-lapse camera set-up at my bird table. There aren't any bird songs because the plant cam doesn't record sound.
