I just watched one about a woman who heard her son was missing in action in war and her befriending an injured fox. Bawled my eyes out!!!

It is indeed a wonderful escape!

It is the perfect show.

Adored it.
Fun characters.
Love the animal bits.
Watch it with my 90 year old Mother - it’s so sweet and holds her attention.
Happy you recommended to others.

The only antidote to the current reality is to get off of our asses and engage. Resist the comfort of the couch cushion until our work is done.

Can confirm - like warm chocolate chip cookies and a cold glass of milk - it’s a wonderful show. The books are wonderful as well.

we like all seasons of the British Baking Show for mini mental vacations, too.

socialgreedia.bsky.social•7 days ago

A most excellent suggestion. I watch it now and then, but I've been too hit-and-miss lately.

I can also use some Antique Roadshows. I've really been remiss there.

It often brings me to tears. So, so wonderful. Read all 4 books when they were published and this show doesn’t disappoint!!!

Used to read his stories in Reader's Digest.

I prefer Endeavor

iamstilljustabill.bsky.social•7 days ago

That should help the Ukraine, amass and Mexico.
Maybe the art of war would be more appropriate

seena-swg.bsky.social•7 days ago

Great show based on even greater books. 👍

Veterinarians should rule the world

sakaribaby.bsky.social•7 days ago

One of my favorites

corndog107.bsky.social•7 days ago

My mom loves this show and I caught an episode with her this past week. Truly a beautiful show that deserves all the attention.

madbodger.bsky.social•7 days ago

The books are good too

signeland.bsky.social•7 days ago

Yes! And the colors are beautiful!

gwynnephd.bsky.social•7 days ago

Call the Midwife is my jam.

kevinlmcknight.bsky.social•7 days ago

I agree with this. It's a great show.

rebeccaswh.bsky.social•7 days ago

I never miss it.

gueraboomboom.bsky.social•7 days ago

Agreed. This show is spectacular. Brings back all the old feelings from watching the og with my grandparents... but the film work now is just mesmerizing. Even with sound off it's uplifting content.

carylinpa.bsky.social•7 days ago

Wonderful series, both on pbs and the books.

carolcook75.bsky.social•7 days ago

💯 Read the books and love the series on PBS! I also recommend it highly!

ncminty.bsky.social•7 days ago

Yes, and also there are audiobook versions narrated fabulously by Christopher Timothy

jane2157.bsky.social•7 days ago

Love the show.

gracie777.bsky.social•7 days ago

💕this show!

socialxstbutterfly.bsky.social•7 days ago

Like this so I remember to watch this when I get off work

wretcheddog.bsky.social•6 days ago

I also recommend "The Yorkshire Vet" which is a reality series featuring Alf Wight's practice and the veterinarians there. Alf Wight was the actual vet who we know as James Herriot

bookwormsunite.bsky.social•7 days ago

I remember liking the books too (it was quite a few years ago)!

iowacaptive.bsky.social•7 days ago

Yes!

ronnylongjohns.bsky.social•7 days ago

The books are good too

miggieblue.bsky.social•7 days ago

🎯
I have already rewatched all episodes to date; & have also done the same with Doc Martin.
I just wish there were more episodes of both to watch.

kchappell.bsky.social•7 days ago

It's my Sunday break 😌 from the insanity.

Less Trump, more cows.

dorissp.bsky.social•7 days ago

Thank you for the reminder!!!!

taclev.bsky.social•7 days ago

My grandmother watched it constantly while she was going through cancer treatments. She was so upset she would likely pass before season 3. She did and I still need to watch it in her honor.

Gayton. Just a wonderful program. You are right. It is good for whatever ails you. I used to live near there for a couple of years and just seeing it is therapy for today’s world. Go there, one of most wonderful places on earth. But do contact me. I have recommendations.
