Oh, & in response to your response on my Blog...oh yes. We sound like we enjoy very similar things. Oh for a lovely warm crackling fireplace with lovely hot mugs of coffee & books/music etc in snuggly clothes - like flannel PJs. Bliss!
Only 2 episodes left of Bed of Roses AND I thought Jane Austen was last night, but it's tonight. WOO HOO!!!!!!!
