Michael and I had a lovely night last night. We were lent a copy of the BBC mini-series North & South (2 disc - 4 episodes) and Michael had won a free snickers yesterday, so we got some nice port, and made a night of it.
We ended up watching all 4 episodes last night, which was very easy to do, as it is such a great movie. If you like Pride and Prejudice, you will love this, but even if you don't like movies such as Pride and Prejudice, you will still really enjoy North & South as it is more "real" and has more blokey stuff in it. I cannot recommend it highly enough. The acting is superb and the characters believable and engaging.
Many people view it as the best British period mini-series ever produced and after seeing it ourselves, it is easy to see why so many have made this claim.
Great movie, chocolate and a fine port made for the perfect night in.
I have since found it available on FishPond, and I also saw it for sale in the service station yesterday as I was filling the car with petrol which was funny. It just seemed so out of place on the shelf alongside the chips, lollies and Mrs Macs meat pies...

I will have to look out for it - there isn't much to watch on TV these days!

ReplyDeleteSounds like a very relaxing night
ReplyDeleteHi Ruth - we got the Buttons and Bows pins from Spotlight (Birch brand) - they are really sweet in pastel colours. I got the idea for a covered tape measure from a Japanese craft magazine. I am planning on doing a tute for it it soon!
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect way to spend an evening. I love Pride and Prejudice.
ReplyDeleteI got the Fab U Motion at the Perth Craft and Quilt show. It is made by Viking but fits most machines. It is a platform that makes it easier to move/manipulate the quilt under the needle. I think it will make a big difference - I just need more practice!
ReplyDeleteHi Ruth love your new blog header - is such a gorgeous photo. Love the photo's of your outings with the children - especially the marshmallow roasting on a branch - mmm even the burnt ones have a special taste of their own :)
ReplyDeleteHugs Jx
I will have to see this movie, it sounds like something I would really enjoy!
ReplyDeleteHi! I'm from the US and just stumbled upon your blog - love the picture and I also LOVE the movie 'North and South.' You should read the book - it's even better.
ReplyDeleteCheers!
