Maxine Peake is such a good actress. I loved Home Fires too.
Lark Rise to Candleford, Cranford, All Creatures great and small, Land Girls, Parades End, My Mother And Other Strangers, World On Fire are a few more that Iâve watched and liked.
And of course thereâs all those turn back time documentaries that are great to watch.

Yes!! All of those are so good, espcially Lark Rise and ACGAS (both versions, although the new one kinda wins out by a little because I love Anna Madley, Samuel West, and Callum Woodhouse) just so fkn cosy, they make me feel all warm and toasty inside.
Youâve probably seen it, but The Durrells is 10/10 period drama, everything about it is excellent!

The Durrells is a good watch. The book was good too. And The Larkins which was somehow connected to the Darling Buds Of May. Well youâre like me who loves this stuff. All I can recommend now are books that are similar.
Nella Last and Helen Forrester are 2 authors that wrote books that are some of the best reads Iâve ever read.

Iâve had both of those authors recommended to me before. Iâve been looking for my next read since I didnât line anything up after an indugent reread of Phillip Pullmansâ series, so maybe I might make a start with those. In saying that I have a sneaky suspicion that I read The Latchkey Kid by Forrester many moons ago.
