...and the rest in ease

... the spectacular time in the doldrums. The local and world wide archives of historical facts in fiction, vice versa and all about. 

The catch up of a whole series of Victoria ... it is interesting that some aspects of history is so revisited and all link up through my recent film I watched of Belle ... blending into one another ... 

The class system so apparent before the world wars changed even more the values of much ... wet nurses, how the poor were segregated in illnesses. The new gas lighting, the ice store revelation. The sidelines of a well documented Victorian period. The industrial revolution. How Victoria re-examined  the hung drawn and quartered punishment still done for treason. That her reign was to be seen kinder than her barbaric predecessors. And then herself with her interbred husband Albert becoming aware  of  child labour ... acknowledged the times moving on in this, the open air steam trains on the tracks at that time ... the unusual wives tale ways of preventing conception... and changing the way the Royals gave birth ... And how precarious it actually was to give birth ... the mad uncle and ... 

...all this in the 1800s ... we are now really in to the 21st century ... I wonder how the current royals will be viewed in this perpetual historic years in times to come .... on media ? 

Will it be viewed within virtual pods like in science fiction moulding into fact ...? The cluster of museums I visited often in Kensington, the result of Prince Alberts input as consort of the realms .... the many monuments about the parks too, my local one at the time, a short while. These dedication s to a deceased husband on the early grief of a Queen in mourning til her own death, after a long reign. Though not without those companions before and after marriage she cherished too.
