Coming Home
Speaking of Cornwall, have you ever seen the British mini-series "Coming Home" (from the book by Rosamunde Pilcher)?
As luck would have it, I found it on youtube and here it is:
Coming Home - Part 1
Coming Home - Part 2
Being a big fan of Pilcher's novels anyway, when I acquired Coming Home, I enjoyed it immensely. When I became aware there had been a miniseries made, I had to see it. Luckily I bought the DVD and have since watched this series several times. I never seem to tire of it. The scenery of the southwestern coast of England is like candy for the eyes. Oh how I'd love to visit there...
It's a story of a girl/woman, Judith Dunbar, first played by a 12 year old Kyra Knightly and then as a young woman by Emily Mortimer, and of her best friend, played by Katie Ryder Richardson as the very colorful Loveday Carey-Lewis. With back-up roles by Joanna Lumley and Peter O'Toole, Penelope Keith, David McCallum, and Carol Drinkwater who plays Judith's aunt, it spans the years before, during and after the onset of WWII in England. It's a superbly made film and one I would recommend to anyone who hasn't had the chance yet to see it.
That's all for now,
Bex
