    In 2023, WHY has Ruth Goodman not been made a Dame of the British Empire? She throughly deserves the UK Royal honour ❤

    • @debbiesittard7653
      @debbiesittard7653 Місяць тому +8

      Because she is to honest, sincere and truthful. She doesn't 'fit' their narrative.

      because she is "boring" and smart.
      she isent a musician or actress so why bother.
      Its sad really cause I think she is precious and a gods given gift to the world ❤

      @ Ruth is an intellectual. So to the non-intellectual she might seem boring.

    A National hero, for sure. Long live UA-cam, that we may always have you to learn from. And learn in many ways, some not so tangible as building castles and managing the muck of the Ages. I admire your work ethic and that of your team's members. Incredible.

    Ruth Goodman can make any subject at all fascinating - case in point, I just stood transfixed listening to her talk for three minutes about wood ash and water temperatures and if it had been half an hour, that would have been perfectly fine! And her delivery is inspiring and charming.

    Ruth is inspiring in so many ways. Not only does she inspire with her love and understanding of history, but she is also inspiring me as a mother. I've just watched Edwardian Farm and am finishing up Victorian Farm; and to see her interactions with her daughter inspires me to better interactions with my own daughter of similar age. Ruth Goodman is just the best!

    Fascinating about wood ash and cold water. I have been minimizing laundry loads drastically for some time and prefer to hang-dry all small garments instead of using a dryer.
    So ... commercial soap was developed ... why again? Perhaps because the timber industry was an enormous industry in-the-making, although the removal of trees devastated the environments everywhere, and TPTB did not want people messing with future profits, trees.
    Removing people from nature also started a mind set of dependency on commercial products, becoming consumers, and decreasing ancient knowledge such as making wood ash from trees. I bet, too, people who saw or believed in gnomes and fairies, who lived in forests, were then considered witches if they still interacted with trees ...

    • @susanbloor8541
      @susanbloor8541 Рік тому +5

      @@Lazydaisy646 i do more cold washes and frequently wash without detergent. Wool garments I freshen by airing them outside. Equally good results to using modern detergents all the time and kinder to the pocket and the environment. Line dried garments and bedding don’t need fabric conditioner to smell fresh and cleaning cloths and towels are more absorbant without. Reading Ruth’s book reminded me of my godmother (an avid knitter) telling me that wool is largely self cleansing and that airing instead of washing would prolong the life of a garment. Linen has similar properties too. Hope this is helpful.

      I don’t think they would want to per se bc of the naturally occurring lanolin in the wool but I mean after it’s been processed I’m sure they used it on wool.

    So.... is she saying that the idea of modern soap is just a big larp to remove people's ability to clean their laundry for free or........?

    • @ItsBirdieCage
      @ItsBirdieCage Місяць тому +1

      No. She had a whole story about it. Once people moved to cooking with coal, they had no wood ash. The alternative was buying soap. And soap of course took off as a huge industry. And w using soap the way of laundry changed. Also she talks about coal making more of a mess. Laundry being more work. More workload on women which they couldnt handle. Leading to women’s rights groups.
