Stories everywhere

Had a little Jane Austen-themed party with @sastarwarrior and then enjoyed the extraordinary 1995 adaptation of Sense and Sensibility.

Thank you, Jane❤️

Quick Question or Two:

☆ S6.E4.

- Jenny's nickname and animal counterpart is the wren.

- The family aptly names the foal: "Florence" after Florence Nightingale, a famous nurse.

☆ S6.E6.

- As Siegfried and Tristan leave the church, better bonded and more ready for life.

Siegfried notes the "call of the wren" which he describes as a big sound for a small bird.

So, clearly, this theme revolves around the ideas of:

• Spring and renewal, a change in life and overall hope.

• Selflessness, care and duty.

• A readiness to take on anything.

What can we glean from this?

Its very likely that Jenny and Tristan will take on bigger roles in the upcoming seasons.

Remember, Tristan can only officially practice as a vet now that the war is over.

Jenny returning as a qualified nurse will be of great value to Skeldale.

Like excuse me, Paula Ortiz, the genius that you are

I LOVE the 4:3 aspect ratio, the cinematography, the handheld camera work, the use of lighting AND the acting, the chemistry... don't get me started on the hand scene😑🤚... too good

If you have watched this film, please let me know what you think of it?🎬

period drama + first episode + Brian Percival directs + train scene

Me: 😁

Does anyone else feel that a/s is toooo much of a slowburn?

Like I'm glad they showed that Siegfried is literally a wreck w/o Audrey but come on now... him continuing to sleep around with other women in the village, teasing a possible romance with a much younger woman??

Audrey gave up life with her son and his family to be with Siegfried. He keeps messing around AND treating her badly.

When is Siegfried going to realise that Audrey doesn't have to take his nonsense?

Btw... Tristan and Charlotte fell in love in ONE episode. If that's not unfair then I don't know...

How I am to be convinced at this point that Siegfried will ever realise his feelings for Mrs H? She clearly feels something but he's as oblivious as can be, despite the way he has shown that he needs her.

"Oh, Mr. Thornton, I am not good enough!"

"Not good enough! Don't mock my own deep feeling of unworthiness."
