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.

Mountain of wood

The outside cat's think Christmas has arrived early . We have a mountain of wood in the back driveway. Ken had it delivered yesterday and the cat's have discovered a new play area. This wood is lovely and will keep us warm and our kitchen stove pumping out heat hopefully all winter. Made pizza last night for supper and wow I wish you could taste the difference the wood stove makes .I am not a pizza fan, but home made in a wood stove will convert even the most picky.
See you soon

    Thank you for the chance to follow your life over the next year. I have a question, living as close to 1865 without so many modern conveniences where and how are you working on your blog

    I will enjoy following your year.
