What is the deal with Grantchester? A cop with a vicar helping him out, then when the vicar moves away another vicar starts helping the cop out. What is this, some sort of new community policing initiative?

A gardener mate had all his tools nicked (and four other houses were hit in the village on the same night). It took the SoC officer three days to get to him - at which point he said there was a snowball's chance of catching the perps - best call the insurance company.....

That's you lot, by the way.

This must be why you never see any BBC crime series happening in Suffolk.

Re: What made you smile today? Part III
I had some 8mm films from back in the late 70's early 80's that traveled to Texas with us, that have moved to many different homes, have been rescued from hurricanes and floods until I finally sent them off to be digitalized.So many of our pictures had been ruined after our last flood and I had little hope of anything being on these old films.
Today we saw my mum again, my lovely sister in law, M's grandparents and one of his aunts that have all now sadly passed away. We watched our kids being funny silly little toddlers and saw ourselves as young parents. We laughed and cried as we watched them. It was quite emotional, especially as we were both so skinny (and M had a head of hair).
I'm really happy we still have these to remind us of years gone by.
