Sunday Night PBS - Miss Scarlet, All Creatures Great and Small, and Vienna Blood. My favorite night of TV.

I was sure I would hate it without the Duke but to my surprise I like her better with a man who shares the same values as her father. I hope they make a season 6. #missscarlet #PBS

I’m starting the new year by reading a 106-year-old #romance, The Land-Girl’s Love Story by Berta Ruck: www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/74644

It features Joan, who flees the city & reinvents herself as a Land Girl.

Seems appropriate for New Year’s Day, when many of us feel the need to embrace change.

@pbs.org Absolutely love the new season of Miss Scarlet. Tom Durant Pritchard did an awesome job.

I'm reading Berta Ruck's His Official Fiancée, published in 1914, and so far, I'm surprised by how contemporary it feels (despite the far-fetched premise).

Finished Season 5 of Miss Scarlet and loved it! The mutual respect between Miss Scarlet and Inspector Blake is refreshing. He sees and appreciates how impressive she is.

Watching Season 5 of Miss Scarlet on PBS Passport! I miss the Duke, but I like what I see so far in Inspector Blake. www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterp...
