This was one of my favorite things my mom used to make. They never made it past August. It’s a great way to make use of the whole melon. Enjoy!

This year too the time has come to say goodbye to longer nights and start our journey anew towards brighter days. Rebis knows, but she's too preoccupied with improving her "Pane di Natale" recipe to care🌟

Happy Yule!

(Rebis è il fumetto a cui io e @ivanhoenineteenninetyfour stiamo lavorando, che uscirà per @baopublishing nel 2023~✨)

I don’t know how aware you are of fanfiction, but the leading ACGAS-ship, or relationship, is Siegfried and Mrs Hall. How do you view that relationship and the fan response to it?

SAM: I don’t read fanfic and perhaps I should, although I would be wary of reading fanfiction about Mrs Hall and Siegfried, only because it might give us ideas! It’s a fascinating relationship based on a very strict and well-established principle, which is that I employ her. I call her Mrs Hall and she calls me Mr Farnon.

At the same time, the real power in the house is Mrs Hall, and I’m wise enough not to question that. It would be extremely unusual for them to have a relationship, but nothing is impossible. I am enormously grateful for her presence and, increasingly, for her wisdom, kindness, and attention. And that is likely to become more important, not less. They’re two people with important histories of marriage, heartbreak, and their own problems with children — either having them or not having them.

And one of the wonderful things about All Creatures Great and Small is that things never happen too slowly. More and more, we’ve rightly chosen to put off emotional payoffs. So I would say to people holding a candle for Siegfried and Mrs Hall, “Never say never.” I haven’t seen the scripts for series four, so I don’t know what happens, but professionally, I’ve never been happier than when working with Anna Madeley. I love her portrayal of Mrs Hall, and Siegfried does too. Beyond that, who knows?

I would love to see it.

SAM: They’re sort of married already. You can tell a lot of story just by holding hands.

Visited Grassington aka Darrowby again today whilst holidaying in the Dales! Some remnants of S6 filming are still in place, though the exterior of Skeldale House has been removed. I thought this notice board might be of interest to fans since small details like this might be overlooked in the show! Especially loved the mention of Maggie at the Drovers in her note.

If Lady Sybil Crawley can marry her family’s chauffer, and a family with such high social standing as the Crawleys can find a way to deal with that, then Siegfried Farnon can marry his housekeeper, who is of course so much more than a housekeeper, is already treated like family, and is respected not just by said family, but by those who know them.

I don’t think Siegfried would care if anyone thought negatively of him marrying Audrey Hall. He’d defend her honour and tell them where to stick their outdated opinions. This is a man who we’ve already seen hold her hand and take her arm in public - can you imagine someone like Major Sebright Saunders doing that with his housekeeper? He probably barely speaks to them (yes, he’s in a higher class to Siegfried, socially, but still).

Hugh was going to marry Helen (ok, she wasn’t his employee), a farmer’s daughter. Nothing wrong with that, but Helen’s family isn’t upper class. They’re not poor, but their livelihood depends on the land and the animals, there isn’t a back-up supply of money, from what we’ve seen, otherwise there wouldn’t have been such a worry about shutting the farm when TB was found.

My point is, with all the posts I’ve read about class and that possibly affecting the relationship between Siegfried and Audrey, I don’t actually think it will. Audrey might have a bit of a wobble and think she’s not good enough (pish), but we know she is, and so does Siegfried and their family and friends. Yes, unfortunately social class still mattered to a lot of people in the 1940s, but with the war on, society was slowly beginning to change. I think they’ll be ok, especially in their village.

An illustration of Marie Antoinette breaking up a fight between Louis Auguste (future Louis XVI) and Louis Stanislas (the comte de Provence) over a broken porcelain object. This illustration, from Era Magazine, was based on a real incident.

In June of 1772, ambassador Mercy wrote to Maria Theresa:

"M. le comte de Provence had an object made from beautifully worked porcelain on the fireplace in his room, and when M. le dauphin was in his room, he usually picked it up and looked at it. This seemed to worry M. le comte de Provence and, just as Mme la dauphine was teasing him about this, at that very moment, M. le dauphin dropped it and it smashed to pieces. M. le comte de Provence, in his immediate reaction of anger, went up to M. le dauphin; they grappled with one another and punched one another. Mme la dauphin, who was very embarrassed at this behavior, had the presence of mind to separate them. Reconciliation followed immediately; no one witnessed the quarrel and nothing happened as a result."
