Jane Austen

OHHHH I am just loving the new Sense and Sensibility on BBCTV. I am mad for period dramas and films, I love, love, love em! The BBC just do great ones don't they? Poor Marianne, that dratted Willoughby is a bit of a dish but a rotten bounder!

My fave has to be Pride and Prejudice, esp the one with Colin Firth. I was that wrapped up in Austen that I dug out the Keira Knightly version of P&P to watch last night, and it was great.

I just love the whole "love" thing that Janey does. All the girls fall in love/lust etc and then wait around in the house playing Wii ha ha not really. They wait around sewing, reading and trimming hats with ribbon until Mr Gorge rocks up on his trusty steed. They usually spot him with about 200yards warning, then run round hiding the reading, sewing and ribbons behind cushions. This is usually mingled with them ripping off their day aprons, patting their hair and pinching their cheeks - alas no Clinique counter in the days of JA, but they still managed to pull eh??

Total bliss, and I must admit to rather fancying David Morrissey as Colonel Brandon! Just love it!
