Gosport Living History Village

 Two weeks ago, my daughter, Lindsey, said she'd found a living history village set in 1642 (the year the Civil War started) in Gosport.  An hour and a quarter's drive away.

WE went early, stayed late. Great place and really knowledgeable volunteers. Some of them know incredibly detailed things about every day life in that era. eg.  One lady makes soap from animal fat and lye (you extract it from wood ash).

Went again two weeks later and Lindsey, me and Oswin all joined.

I want to try their big loom!

This isn't my video, but it gives you  very good feel for the place.
