I also had a different image of Robin. More like some young northern women I know I suppose and not so sylphlike and refined perhaps. I think the action is more contained somehow when reading the book. I'm not sure I've expressed that very well! I may well have enjoyed the series coming to it cold but as I don't have a television I probably won't persist with it on iPlayer.Hatnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-2325183130761701222017-09-06T13:22:45.188+01:002017-09-06T13:22:45.188+01:00Agreed!

She was over the moon with excitement, but then she was "really sad" that it didn't look like it did in her head. I loved Marsden, will have to watch for the show here.Mary Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05588244535423212079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-52575199997973524102017-09-06T12:26:32.854+01:002017-09-06T12:26:32.854+01:00Perhaps Perdita is dropping hints...

The plot is as unlikely as any, but the pace picks up again.<br /><br />Have you seen the new jumper design by Lucy Hague? I can feel it calling to me. It appears that I already have the pattern as I bought the collection for an earlier shawl. Even the abbreviations have that Uncia look about them. shandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17372329387935318023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-31087754417754756422017-09-06T01:30:11.800+01:002017-09-06T01:30:11.800+01:00Totally agree that Marsden portrayed an excellent ...Totally agree that Marsden portrayed an excellent Dalgliesh:)! I think better than all the others who attempted him.<br />Now, if only we could get a really good portrayal of Inspector Gamache of Louise Penny fame:)!The only portrayal was done by the fellow who plays Inspector Lynley (Nathaniel Parker),but as wonderful as he is, I think he is way too young for the part.FuguesStateKnitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14271842690827237203noreply@blogger.com
