Sounds like a perfect evening, WonkyWomble. Detectorists is one in of the cleverest, and most charming series Iāve ever watched. A real masterpiece, brilliantly understated.Ā Enjoy!
And an added delight is that much of it is filmed around my brotherās farm (remember those stacks of wooden potato boxes?) and in Framlingham, where I went school ā¦ I know the insides of many of the buildings and the hall where the Detectorist club has its meetings is where I sat my āOā levels š¤Æš

It's my happy place @Ergates I grew up close to where it was filmed,Ā had ballet and tap class in the hall they held their meetings in so as well as the subtle intelligence of the humour in the writing,Ā it's a real trip down memory lane for me and @Dovefromabove. More so now as 2 friends of ours were the couple of hikers in series 3, one of them is no longer with us so nice to see him again. I worked in the restaurant and drank in all the pubs as a teenager.Ā I shall never forgive bbc for cancelling it!! Like I say,Ā it's my happy place š
Good evening all. Been released from Aunty-ing duties so the house feels quiet tonight. We had a fab time - craft, games, and general monkeying around.Ā
Just read back at everyoneās trials and news. Enjoy the rest of Sunday evening and hereās to a good week ahead.Ā
Cream-crackered here.Ā The larger wisteria has been pruned after OH pranged it with the doors of the hired van he used for bringing Possum's effects home.Ā Ā Lots of potting up and on this pm from hostas needing rescuing from snails to lilies that have finished flowering to rooted stems of cornus, rose cuttings to move on and pots of herbs for the kitchen.Ā Ā
The chooks helped too which is funny but just a bit messy.Ā Ā I very carefully piled all the waste and prunings in the wheelbarrow and they gleefully re-arranged it all and scattered it on the drive.Ā OH will be so happy.
However, we're having a day off from gardening tomorrow and going toĀ brocante/flea market and may have lunch out.Ā Ā Probably get mucky again tomorrow pm.
Probably too sleepy to binge watch anything tonight.
Hope you all have a good evening and a good night.
Canāt blame the BBC for that one @WonkyWomble ā¦ Mackenzie Crook said he didnāt want to write any more ā¦ didnāt want to spoil it ā¦ stopped while it was still fresh. Ā āDont Forget the Driverā has some of its charm, but itās not the full package ā¦
It is lovely if poignant to see J & C again š¢Ā

Not true @Dovefromabove,Ā read an article today saying he's thinking of doing another series, guess he's changed his mind š¤Ā
Ah thatād be good @WonkyWomble ā¦ maybe heās had long enough to cogitate on some new ideas. Donāt really want it to turn into Last of the Summer Wine or āAllo āAllo ā¦,going on for ever ā¦rehashing the same ideas over and over again.Ā
