Great BBC series from the early/mid 90s starring Dame Judith Dench. Just discovered that Netflix offers it as an Instant download, so I am spending some of my early evenings in Omaha watching the series chronologically. This thing goes on for something like 9 seasons! I have seen a lot of episodes, but randomly and never in sequence.
I love the characters and you can tell the actors just get tickled with themselves sometimes as the smiles and smirks seem all-too-real. Great acting, at the very least.
And, somehow this is helping my perspective on aging. For whatever reason I have been more aware of the ravages of time lately. Not that I am feeling poorly, just kind of a feeling of "It's all downhill from here..." Grandchildren are the great reward, but both sets live so very far from us and we are not ready/willing/able to consider relocating yet. We have a great life and our travel and family experiences of the past few years just keep getting better.
Thank you God for good health, great friends, and a high-functioning, loving family.
