Terek El Mussa and Heather, Joanna and Chip Gaines. They all changed
I changed, them wealthy me just watching other stuff. ... ...

It was mostly a waste of time. ... ...

I also watched Ice Road Trucker. Basically one show and seen em all.
Sort of the same with Judge Judy. Now Judge Faith is fun to watch. ... ...

Was this the TV show you watched, with scenes of Dorset, England? You can see Durdle Door at 0:12 in this short video. I believe its part of Southern England Jurassic Coast:

Thomas Hardy was born in a thatched cottage in the woods. Later he built a home with red brick. Max Gate, Dorchester, Dorset:

I don’t have much interest in traveling to see modern life.

I need a Time Machine that would allow me to experience daily life in the years before WWII.

Many PBS programs help to provide a glimpse of those times.

Tonight's PBS episode was on Cornwall
re:The tin industry,Padstow, North coast fishing Village
all very interesting
p.S. The part @tin industry reminded me of the series "Poldark"

Not to Malta..my ex husband was stationed there for a while in Valetta when he was in the Navy ... the Queen famously spent 2 years living there when she was frst married to Philip and he was in the Royal navy, living the life of a near normal person... she always maintained those 2 years were the happiest of her life
