I remember the first” Black Narcissus “.
Ooooh David Farrar, he was a heartthrob!
I saw him in person when Mary Webb’s book Gone to Earth was filmed in Shropshire when I had gone back for a holiday.
Squire Jack Reddin, on a big hunter .
It was partly filmed at the Baptist Chapel where part of my family worshipped and my great grandparents are buried ,also the girl and her baby killed in the shooting” accident”.
The outdoor total immersion baptism scene was in the graveyard ,I was there the day that was filmed .
A pool had been dug as the chapel,officials did not think it correct to use the big sunken lead lined tank under the chapel floor, used for adult baptisms as is the custom with Baptists.
A strange story ,Black Narcissus, and I for some reason did not want to see an updated version.
Well off for a walk in brilliant sunshine then home for a hot bath .
Tesco delivery between 5 and 9.
Phoned my friend yesterday ,the one I (used to live with and stayed with on the above holiday,) was so worried about ,still has some lucid moments and knew who I was but the carers are so pushed they often don’t arrive so her lovely son who devoted himself to his Dad and now his Mum has it all to do sometimes.
What a pickle we are in , and still people are in denial.
What is wrong with them ?
Too many( by their standards) restrictions and they don’t obey ,too few and they are idiotic.
Still not heard re vaccination, but if it is at our local Health Centre all the better.
So quiet, no traffic, no children’s voices on their way to and from school and today no birdsong either.
Hope everyone is alright , keep smiling , and think how quickly the weeks go by, well they seem to do to me .
Thank goodness for Roots Chat the diaries .
I usually recycle my old cards but did not think it would be done this year ,gone with the recycling recycling bins today.
So thanks everyone .
