I always think Georgian times would be deeply fascinating, but the reality of life then wouldn't be pleasant. You know how they cured toothache? By sticking a hot needle into the ear. Lovely! 

I often imagine what it would be like to live in different times and how I'd be, but for all its many, many faults, the modern age has given me so much opportunity that I'm grateful for it. I also imagine how life would be if I had grown up in different countries. I think I would have been happier in France, Greece or America... then again, I may not. Who knows? 

I just daydream and learn about history and travel to other countries for their culture, aided by modern facilities and the monetary, linguistic and geographical benefits of this small island. It's a good compromise.

Yes, that's a good point. I wonder if it's akin to the Romantics yearning from some Pastoral idyll that never really existed once industrialism took hold. Or because I like pretty lace dresses? Whatevs!

I didn't know wabout the Anglo-Saxon thing, though. Interesting times!

I want a TARDIS. It would solve all my problems. :(
