I’ve been watching a British series on Netflix called “Poldark”. The Netflix police have been following me around in cyberspace throwing up blockades and hurdles whenever they find me. Haha. It has to do with being “only available in“ such and such area or country. It‘s not available in the Philippines. Legal stuff. I made it to episode 4 or something of the 5th Season, it’s last season. Oh well.
I‘m also reading an audiobook about John Adams, the 2nd President of the US (1787-1801), the same time era… I listen to audiobooks when I’m doing my wood-carving, and/or when I’m trying to wind down in the evening and get away from media. I would read hard copies more if my eyes would cooperate.
What I’ve enjoyed most I think, about both stories, is how people lived their daily lives then:
candle light in their homes, horses and carriages for their transportation, writing letters and messages with feather quills and ink, and then folding them and sealing them with wax and stamps - then sending them off with messengers on their horses.
In general, I like Historical Fiction like “Poldark“. Historical Fiction, and historical Non-fiction are my favorites right now.
ps - I found it on Amazon Prime for purchase.
