It starts on June 18th on BritBox and Amazon Prime.

Re read for my book club & enjoyed it more this time around apart from the political themes of the 30s spookily now being played out ☹️the Mitfords all I‘m sure were neuro divergent , unity especially, annoying , spoilt , privileged & definitely a way of life now long gone , aside from their strange political leanings not sure why everyone was obsessed with these horrible women . Nancy the most famous for the right reasons barely gets a look in ;

Ok Aussie Secret Santa recipients, where the bloody hell are you? It‘s most definitely Christmas Eve here and I‘ve opened my beautiful #aussiesecretsanta parcel from @Freespirit
Will you look at these gorgeous gifts 👀🎁? Thank you Sally & thank you @CarolynM for organising this year 🙏.
Come on now, it‘s show and tell time…

I really wanted to like this series, but I find the bright young things tiresome and boring. I finished it, but this will be the last of the series I read.

I enjoyed this one. I had never heard of the Mitford family before this and I had to Google all the things while reading 😂

I think Nancy Mitford‘s life and family are fascinating, and I wanted to read this book because it upset her family when it was published, especially the Nazi sympathizer members. She refused to let it be reprinted in her lifetime, partly because of the mediocre sales numbers and reviews, but mainly because she wanted to keep the peace within her family. I bailed. She‘s a good writer but the story and characters just didn‘t keep me interested.

Tuesday‘s scores at the 📕 swap on the way home from work. I returned the day after with a replacement bag of 📚 for the swap. Had a massive long weekend so needed a 📕 swap blow out! We had been to a friend‘s 50th at a beach further up the coast and many crazy fun times were had. The beach was beautiful. It poured most of one day then the sun came out just in time for the 🥳 night. I danced so hard that night the 🍷 I drank came back out. Opps.
