Lewis just finished recently. Laurence Fox is off to the US. I hope they resurrect it and give Lewis a new sidekick, although I did enjoy both characters together.

Midsomer is still on, but Barnaby has retired. I haven't watched it yet. Better put it on the to do list.:)

I'm also looking forward to going into a 'real' butchers and getting fresh meat instead of packaged stuff. The one thing I'm not looking forward to (and this is after checking out Tesco and Sainsburys) is the cost of Diet Coke. It's a whopping £10 for a 24pk of cans, compared to the $7 I'm paying right now. Guess I have to start drinking something else....LOL
