A surprisingly energetic video for a lazy Friday in June, and well worth a repeat performance. Combine an 18th c. gentleman (well, at least that's what he's supposed to be) on a longboard, the beautiful streets of Bath, and a dash of Iron Maiden, and you get Georgian shredding, dude. (I'm sorry about the inevitable advertisements, but a quick click on the X will make them vanish.)
To my American eye the streets were amazingly unpeopled, and those few our Georgian Gent encountered were remarkably afraid to notice him. Music could have been better chosen.
I live in Williamsburg, and you always see folks in 18th century dress around town doing 21st century things - for me, the best is seeing them pumping gas!
One of us -- Loretta Chase -- writes historical romance. One of us -- Susan Holloway Scott -- writes historical novels,and as Isabella Bradford, wrote historical romances, too.
There’s a big difference in how we use history. But we’re equally nuts about it. To us, the everyday details of life in the past are things to talk about, ponder, make fun of -- much in the way normal people talk about their favorite reality show.
We talk about who’s wearing what and who’s sleeping with whom. We try to sort out rumor or myth from fact. We thought there must be at least three other people out there who think history’s fascinating and fun, too. This blog is for them.

What a strange choice of music. Nice video, though.
Fun way to see Bath. I wish it had panned out more to show more of the city, but still that was enjoyable and clever.

Cute! It reminds me of the lady who used to rollerblade around my college campus in a Victorian hoopskirt from time to time...
