Happy New Year - 2010 Preview

Happy New Year!!

This gives me the perfect opportunity to preview a little of what this blog will have to offer in the year ahead.

I am hoping to provide reviews and opinions of the following TV shows and movies (amongst others) - Shillingbury Tales, The Vicar of Dibley, Robin of Sherwood, Goodnight Mister Tom, A Canterbury Tale, The Wind in the Willows, The Box of Delights, various Ealing comedies, Ever Decreasing Circles, The Good Life and Outside Edge....to name but a few!

In books I aim to cover such delights as Miss Read's Fairacre and Thrush Green series, M C Beaton's Agatha Raisin books, not to mention some of our literary classics such as Wuthering Heights, Far From the Madding Crowd, etc. I shall also cover some of my favourite non-fiction books on our fair land.

Musically I shall delve into our Classical heritage, with a strong emphasis on the works of Ralph Vaughan-Williams and Sir Edward Elgar.

On top of this I shall look at some of our historical and mythological heroes such as Robin Hood, the Angevin Plantagenet dynasty, the Arthurian legends, Sir Arthur Wellesley (the Duke of Wellington), our greatest knight Sir William Marshall and many others. I shall also share some of the countryside walks and rambles I have undertaken, some favourite poems and recipes and general insights on various matters English.

Here's to a busy 2010.
