The weather is cold and damp ,this is the time of year to stay at home, catch up with some TV programmes and start some baking for Christmas time.
I have signed up for Netflix and been totally absorbed by the series The Crown.The 1940s and 1950s of my childhood has been beautifully captured ,wonderful acting and exquisite attention to detail in the costumes and settings.
A moving performance of the farewell of King George VI to Princess Elizabeth before his sudden death took me right back to the day at school in 1952 when I was 10 years old and teacher came into the class room and announced his death. Our nice class teacher burst into tears and we were sent home for the afternoon.
As children we were shocked to see how vulnerable an adult could be.
