I have been there and I have met that lovely lassie. Her commitment was amazing and my kids were entertained by her description of how life was for a XVIII century family. Kudos to that museum and definitely worthy of a visit

"Any advice for the YT audience?" "Yea, stop watching it." Just gotta laugh.

I love how Tom's accent becomes a lot stronger when talking to her. I do the same with my accent when I speak with people with very broad Australian accents.

I think it's so interesting how similar everyday life is over the centuries. My mom and dad got married in 1956. So my mother was an actual 50s housewife. My dad was career military. I can tell you it was exactly the way Marian described it. When my father was deployed my mom ran everything and when he was home she would let him appear to be the head of the household but in reality she still was in charge. She controlled everything from the finances to the children's education. If it involved the family she had final say. My dad had a say and when it came to the outside world he would take the lead. Women have been keeping the home fires burning for millennia. So interesting!

I fully believe that when you forget your past, you forfeit your future.

Let’s please clarify that all woman’s work was important, not just the work that was done while the men were away.

What a treasure she is 😊. My only complaint is that I want more. Her voice is like a calming breeze, the genuine smile, the earnest care that flows from herself.... just.... it's just something that the world needs more of. Blessings to you and yours

The blood is strong. I'm a child of the Ulster Scots and grew up in the High Country of North Carolina. I was taught how to forge for wild greens and how to harvest barks and roots for teas and medicine. I don't think these skills are taught any longer and that's rather sad. Thanks for taking the time and hard work needed to present another great video.

"What can we take from history...to the present day?" A deep sense of gratitude for our forbearers for their hard work, stamina and perseverance, along with a deep sense of gratitude for the many comforts and privileges that we take absolutely for granted.

I really like the idea of more 'around the house' videos

Good to hear about life for the women, always wondered what it was like

Thank you, this is really important! I would love to see more about the household crafts and skills of everyday life.

Tom, Thanks for the questions you asked. Marion, Thanks for taking the time to answer them. Thx guys for filming this and sharing it with us.

While I was watching, I was wool combing for the next spinning (which I do with a drop spindle). Fitting entertainment for this task :D

I love her advice. And thanks for another great video.

She is so awesome

Thanks for the video, and big thanks to the guest. It was really interesting. Hope we’ll never forget the history.

What a wonderful lady, Marion. Thank you Tom. That was an enjoyable interview. And an excellent video. God bless us all.

Good advice, put em down and go outside and enjoy nature!! Tom, fantastic content as always my friend!!

Visited here a couple of years back, it's a fab place, had lots of interesting chats with the interpreters
