Green Sweater and Tie



As fall approaches, I am thinking about sweaters.  I love this photograph of Charlotte Dellal, of Charlotte Olympia,  in her green sweater and tie.  I can see myself in this exact outfit traipsing through the fields and woods here with Puppy Weston.  Not sure about the red lipstick though.  Can never get that to look quite right.

Love for Lydia



"Will you come with me to the sea?"  asks Lydia.

"Yes, my love." Richardson responds before they walk off into the snowy night on a long ago New Year's Eve.  This is how it ends.

Discover this gem based on the H.E. Bates novel in the library catalog and order it up.  Then hide away for the day when it is rainy, hot, and too humid to move and visit Aspen Hall in this splendidly, engrossing British drama.   



Luxuriate in a time when it was an event to have a telephone installed in one's home.

The characters charmingly clutch these...



Admire well dressed and favorite actors such as Mel Martin, Jeremy Irons, Peter Davison, and Rachel Kempson.




But, be prepared for the weeps and blubs.  Both the Jeremy Irons and Peter Davison characters tragically pass. 

  
Enjoy every moment of all 13 parts - but...
Love for Lydia
