H AHA MIsa would you like to travel back in time LOL.
seriously It was and obviously before I arrived onto the scene it was harder still.
Have you watched any of the series such as the VICtorian farm the Edwardian farm.
THe farm work was mostly manual-- farm workers travelled around the country trying to get work.
I am fortunate that I am where I am now---
Women who worked in the mills--.Men down in the Mines.
No modern washing powder or machines. Ho woften do you wash your own sheets? clothes?
we are extremely lucky in this generation.
I was watching a film where Japanese farm workers women as well as men were farming with a hoe-- jolly hard work.
Here we have huge combine harvesters that can do the work of hundreds of workers in one go. We have much machinery that takes the hard grafting away.We lost hedges in order to make space for the monsters that took mens jobs away.
Have you ever watched the series "WHO do you think you are? Those genealogical series that takes famous people back through their family history? They often show clips of life as it used to be-- so I am thankful I did not have to be around then.
We lost hedges in order to make space for the monsters that took mens jobs away.
It is called progress but sometimes when its too easy-- we can get very lazy,
As i am just now.
LOL no doubt when you are my age you to will tell younger generation that they don' t know how lucky they are-- we all do it
I do think though there is a LOT of stress these days with all the competition there is out there.
Its not easy in many ways.
