Fun
52 Lazy Sundays
Dear Ann,
When I think about it, I am stunned by our ability to watch TV.
We watch a lot of TV. We are strong for it.
We do it for the knitters. No knitter should ever be stuck with several hours of stockinette stretching before them, and have to waste precious knitting time browsing Netflix.
NOT ON OUR WATCH.
How would you describe our tastes in on-screen entertainment?
In a word: British. We tend to like the British television programmes. If a show has impenetrable accents, people shivering in the damp, or a crime-solving clergyman, we generally will find it enjoyable.
We also have a thing for documentaries, old movies, and fashion shows.
It would take me a long time to figure out any rhyme or reason to our selections, so I suggest a wallow in our Lazy Sunday category. You might even want to bookmark this category. Because we are not going to stop looking for good stuff to watch while knitting.
Love,
Kay
I received the entire DVD set of As Time Goes By for Christmas. it’s a fantastic British sitcom starring Judy Dench and Geoffrey Palmer.
I can’t wait to start knitting to it!
One of my favorites! Such a great love story, and hilarious at the same time. Enjoy!!
Love this series
I look forward to your Sunday suggestions. So good to knit by.
Trapped by snow and freezing temperatures I finally caught up with The Crown. Simply marvelous!
My 2 new faves are Detectorists and Escape to the Country.
Escape to the Country is just marvelous! The scenery, the homes, the wonderful hosts-if only HGTV would do something similar-low key, very civil buyers, not all the ‘high energy’, and bickering buyers we seem to have to have in our shows!
Audio books are great to knit to, as well as sew, paint and cook. Public libraries down-load for free, and with buds or phones, homework can continue undisturbed in the same room. Great way to catch up on our reading, as the queen would say.
Royal Pains was a wonderful diversion while knitting.
BBC surpasses anything our U.S.produce. All things British are wonderful! Wish our U.S. producers would follow the BBC’s lead! 🙂
Sunday night is PBS night and I record nearly all of it to savor over the week. British mysteries like Midsomer Murders, H8nterland, Grantchester…I love them all.
Heavens no! What a waste of time that would be.
I’m a little late to this post but I am currently enjoying Hallmark’s When Calls the Heart. It is fantastic to knit to, especially if you loved the Hallmark Christmas movies! Also there is a lot of knitting in the show! It’s on Netflix. 🙂
