We love this series, so heart-warming and all about Desmlond McCarthy (and his mother of 101) trying to keep body and soul together in their large historic country house on the North Norfolk coast. If you've not seen it, then watch on Catch-up TV. It's a gem.<br />As for the books, Sue, I'm so glad you enjoyed the Mary Wesley novel. I had the pleasure of interviewing her in her lovely cottage in Totnes (it was situated behind th High Street) just some months before she died. Her reputation had gone before her: that she didn't suffer fools gladly, and I was more than a little nervous as I arrived at her cottage. But I needn't have worried, she was lovely. When I arrived she was in her small garden with one of those large pump-action water pistols, the size of a rifle. She was aiming at cats as they destroyed the garden birds, and Mary loved birds. She didn't hurt the cats, of course, just sent them packing! It was lovely to see her, a tiny figure in a long blue denim skirt, firing her water pistol and maurauding moggies!<br />Margaret P<br />www.margaretpowling.com galanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190356279359463949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-1605994986190023862017-08-23T22:57:22.485+01:002017-08-23T22:57:22.485+01:00I am off to kent tomorrow with the new Patricia Co...I am off to kent tomorrow with the new Patricia CornwellJohn Going Gentlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14958171262765033946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-45177796333718202072017-08-23T17:59:01.960+01:002017-08-23T17:59:01.960+01:00At least it gives you a chance to get through a fe...At least it gives you a chance to get through a few on your shelves.
