I have been wondering the same thing too.

Whatever happened to Windsong? Did she eventually make it back to the UK with her animals?

No not yet though long time since we have been in touch. She seems to go underground for a while and then reemerge.

Spring is sprung here in Yorkshire - the daffs are out, the trees are budding, and the fields are filled with tiny little lambs. It's been quite a cold, windy winter up here in the hills, so I'm really enjoying the sunshine and warm weather we've been having.

I saw the discussion on British TV shows - if you can find it, I recommend Gogglebox. It's a reality TV show about regular families watching TV. Sounds rubbish I know, but not only is it hilarious, but those who are homesick will get to enjoy British humour and have a good old snoop into some British homes. Here's a taster.
Nigella on Gogglebox - YouTube


Hello Sally.

I didnt think this was up my street and was sure my wife would say "Turn it off" we watched a recent episode a few nights ago and was laughing along with these people, tonight we watched another episode, its a different kinda show but another one to add to my list, Thanks...

Re: Over 40's Moving Back and Catching Up
 
So it takes watching Gogglebox to find out they have made a new series of "The Thunderbirds", it was my favorite show as a kid, the new one looks F.A.B.

Most Americans have never seen the original show, I showed it to my in laws at Christmas and they really loved it...

Nothing beats the original but the new show is pretty good, I hope someone posts them on You Tube.

Re: Over 40's Moving Back and Catching Up
 
Sally thanks for posting the gogglebox clips, I saw the show advertised and thought it would be a lot of old rubbish, but I watched your clips of the beautiful sexy TV chef Nigella and looking at all those reactions from the folk at home and thought it very funny, and then I watched another of your clips of the young man with a bad stutter and the mood changed, but was wonderful, I was looking at myself as a young teenager, my stutter through out my childhood was as bad as his, a child head doctor treated me for years and I finally found my voice too just like him!!!! but it took a long long time, anyway thanks.

You're welcome guys. I never watch reality TV and thought I would hate it too, but it's my absolute favourite show now. I've told all my friends about it and now they all watch too. I don't know why it works so well, but it does.

There's an American version called The People's Couch which is available on Youtube. It's not bad, but somehow it doesn't have the charm of the British version.

PS: Has anyone mentioned Ordinary Lies? I'm really enjoying that.
