I was browsing for something to watch and came across this lovely series. I remember it from quite a while ago but never watched it (I think Terry Wogan used to rave about it on his radio show) It's such a change from all of the police thrillers and murder mysteries on TV at the moment to go back to when life was slower paced and people had a great sense of community. I find it a lovely uplifting series. Anyone else remember this?

I will look out for that I'm loving when the boat comes in at the moment I listened to uncle Silas a couple of months ago on BBC sounds and enjoyed it

Yes I too remember Larkrise to Candleford fondly Sassanach and I agree it is so refreshing compared to some of today's dramas.

I’ve just stumbled across this thread - it’s a delight of nostalgia! ❤️ I recently read Akenfeld, after Ronald Blyth’s deathearlier this year. My goodness, people lived hard lives, I don’t think anyone would want to go back to that.

Another recent read is the Go-Between by LP Hartley which also conjures up halcyon Edwardian days of summer. Until the end.

My DD’s and I often watched The Darling Buds of May when we were living abroad, before the days of streamed TV. They loved it and so did I, as the area it’s set in was an old haunt of ours.

Ah yes Sandelf and humour!

The road waas being repaired nd was closed so I had to go the long route and later found that the shorter road didn't exist at that time. It was much later.

I've just thought of another great series for a winter evening's viewing 'Anne of Green Gables' the Megan Fellows and Colleen Dewhurst version. What a treat this one is smile

We need programmes like this to get us through the winter. I use my Granddaughter's old portable dvd player and enjoy lots of the older dvds.

Yes, we do, albertina, instead of some of the strange stuff which passes for drama now.
