Many apologies, Willoyd, I've just discovered that my tablet is automatically adding the apostrophe, but I think I would have added it myself, anyway 😄 It's good you pointed it out, as I will remember from now on. Yes, Howards End is my favourite.

Another favourite, both book and film. Which reminds me of Dr Zhivago. Preferred the film on this one.

Sittin' On the Dock of the Bay ~ Otis Redding

Bad Moon Rising ~ CCR

I love Merchant Ivory's production of E.M. Forster's books Howard's End and A Room With a View. And although not a film, the TV series of R.F. Delderfield's A Horseman Riding By, is also excellent. I've re-read and re-watched all the books and films several times.

I echo A Month in the Country, The English Patient, The Camomile Lawn, To Kill a Mockingbird and Brideshead Revisited as being excellent books and films. Films I've enjoyed more than the books include The Piano, Out of Africa and The Reader.

Love that song, Muggle 🥰 Red Roses For a Blue Lady ~ Vic Dana

Oh, you lucky things! So happy for you 🥰 I just love him, he has the most beautiful voice. Have you heard his duet with Ed Sheeren? ( I'd completely forgotten I'd posted the other song 😊)

Kiss From a Rose ~ Seal

I was watching an episode of Secrets of the Queen's Gardens today and was very impressed with Charles's conservation efforts and organic approach to things. Interestingly they said a large number ( can't remember exactly but over 100, I think) curlew eggs had been rescued from airfields, hatched by conservation groups and released on the Sandringham Estate. Hopefully that will go a little way to rescuing such an endangered species.
