Lark Rise To Candelford

[lesbiassparrow]

To cheer myself up I started watching this even though it was a Christmas gift and I should not be watching it so early. I am enjoying it muchly, even though Dawn French's acting is right out of the 'Buxom Wench #4" box. It's all chest heaving and winking.

(I would probably enjoy this more if I hadn't recently been to a lecture on the horrors of urban poverty in the English countryside in the 19th century. I want to think about happy peasants, not people scrubbing for a crust.)

The fact that there are so few opportunities to use buxom wench in ordinary conversation is one of the signs of the decline of Western civilization. I am convinced of it.
