"Getting the plaid eye?" Now that is funny stuff!
ReplyDeleteThat Tilda photo is perfection!
ReplyDeleteYou know… I can't remember seeing Gosford Park… although I'm sure I have. Definitely need to fix this!
I haven't read Snobs; I'll have to try to get my hands on a copy. Love Gosford Park, though. The first time I saw it was in the theatre and the sound was too low, so we couldn't hear most of the fantastic dialogue. I didn't realize how wonderful it was until I got it home and turned up the volume!
ReplyDeleteLauren!!! I have a copy of Young Bess requested from my library system, thanks to you. I'm looking forward to reading it, especially as I'm coming to the end of watching (Showtime production?) The Tudors, which hasn't really interested me very much since they beheaded Anne Boleyn.
