“Happy Birthday Darling!”

Well shit I wasn't expecting much from The Cazalets except I love a lot of the cast and it was giving fairly general WWII British Family Saga and sure it felt a little louche (tasteful normal not-gravity-defying tits and a variety of couples discreetly banging in a very quiet British sort of way) for a period drama but the BBC kind of took a horny period drama turn in the mid 2000s-2010s I've noticed but this was about 2001 so maybe a bit of a forerunner

and predictably feeling very hetero throughout

BUT SUDDENLY IT IS GIVING A VERY TENDER WLW SEX SCENE BETWEEN A VINTAGE CITY MOUSE BUTCH AND HER VINTAGE COUNTRYMOUSE FEMME PARTNER

GOD IS GOOD

Rereading the Cazalet books because they’re soothing, they’re on my phone, and I had forgotten most of what was in them. For example, I forgot that Zoe decided she was like Scarlett O’Hara, which is true because they are both fucking awful

I LOVE VILLY SO. MUCH.

Villy is such a complex character. And I get what you mean. I was going to add something but I don't know if you're there yet so I'll refrain, but you will have a lot of feelings.

Seeing you go through the Cazalet motions has been such a joy. I love those books so much.

Also: I have just discovered that there's a radio adaptation full of names we know that aired last Summer on BBC something but it says it's not available. Gah!

Remembrance Sunday today, so here are a few favourite gifs of SD in his various military roles.

I hope your Cazalet reading is going well.

I love Polly so much I am her and she is me.

Today I am thinking about Madonna's love letter to Amanda Cazalet and the nature of human emotions.
