Welcome to A Victorian Year in Ontario

Greetings Ladies and Gentlemen, the year is 1865, Her Majesty Queen Victoria has reigned since 1837 and we are in the midst of a prosperous era. The purpose of this blog is to record the daily round of chores, tasks, trials and triumphs of our household in rural Upper Canada (now known as Ontario). We have embarked on an experiment to live a year as close to the way it was done in 1865 as we possibly can. We will post our remarks and await your comments, suggestions and critiques. So join us as we travel back in time.

Candlelight

Hi. I'm putting up chandeliers in the kitchen, stairwell and the foyer. Also going to clear out a space for a wood nook so the cook stove has dry wood all the time (that's the theory anyway :-) ). Going to finish removing light bulbs today as well. V-Day is getting closer now, I'm going to find out just how good a Victorian I'll be.

Thanks,
Ken

    How are you guys going to update the blog? Do you have someone who will post for you, or are you making an exception for like a certain amount of computer time?
