As I've been busy as a bee sewing in my new studio in our back yard, to pass the time, as I have yet to have a tv put in, I've been watching old and classic movies on my computer. My techie hubby bought some kind of sound system with a woofer(??) to plug into my computer and the sound is fantastic. He's always hooking me up with all that cool stuff.
I have to tell you that I just finished watching Cranford. If you haven't seen it it's an absolutely lovely movie. The series is set in an English village in the 1840s, just before the Industrial Revolution, and is based on a novel by Elizabeth Gaskell. The setting, the clothes, the homes and furniture, everything about it is just wonderful. The plots are full of unpredictable turns...some parts funny and sweet while others are truly sad, it is a must see especially if you like classics.
Watch part one here and get hooked. You can see the whole series on youtube.com or rent the DVD.

Oh we love the same movies. I have seen Cranford before. I hope that Masterpiece Theatre puts out some more romatic movies.
ReplyDeleteHello. Thanks for telling us about this series. It sounds wonderful, like it would be perfect for a cold winter's day. I will definitely be on the lookout for it now. Blessings.
ReplyDeleteHi Jenn...
ReplyDeleteYep, saw that one, I believe it was in the Spring...
If you go on PBS web site and find where the section is for Masterpiece Theater, they'll send you emails when ALL the series will be on...It surly helps me out because I tend to forget a 'LOT' lately...
I'm with you, I can watch them Over & Over & Over Again!!!
