Beechan House starting on ITV on Sunday at 9pm could be of interest. 6 part drama with the second episode on Monday. Period drama, set in 18th-century Delhi, years before the territory fell under British colonial rule. John Beecham (Tom Bateman), a former soldier for the East India Company, buys a mansion in the area in the hope of starting a new life. His shadowy past is soon the talk of the household, particularly since he arrives accompanied by a mysterious child of unknown parentage.

 

It's ITV's response to BBC's Poldark (which I think starts on the following Sunday. Also aimed at fans of Downton Abbey though it's said to be closer to Downstairs and Upstairs as the servants and Indians are as key to the drama as the British people.

 

Behind it as producer, co-writer and director is Gurinder Chadha. She made Bend it Like Beckham and Bride & Prejudice. The series has also got Lesley Nicol (she was Mrs Patmore in Downton Abbey) and Dakota Blue Richards (WPC Shirley Trewlove who left Endeavour).

Good morning everyone

 

Similar weather to Squiggle's - cloudy and dull with the threat of rain.

 

I expect to be taking my computer in to my local computer shop in the next day or so for the small solid state C drive to be replaced with a larger one and at the same time for Windows 7 to be replaced by Windows 10. Once I get it back I'll need to get to grips with Windows 10. So I will be unable to get on here for a period of time.

 

I hope everuone has a good day

Good morning everyone.

Dry and bright atm.

El, I hope you aren’t missing for too long when your computer is at the computer shop.

I saw a clip of the new drama, Beecham House, and thought it looked promising.

Summer, I hope you have recovered from your long walk. Very well done on completing it.

Heading off to my parents again. Hubby and middle son have finished the painting; eldest son has finished wallpapering and will finish off some tiling in the kitchen today; youngest son has been on holiday and missed all the hard work; and I’m going to make sure everything is ready before the carpets get fitted on Friday.

Next week, we’ll be helping them pack up, before the move a week on Friday.

Things should get back to normal for me after that.ðŸĪžðŸŧ😄

Have a good day, all.

Good morning raining here today! I’m very glad I made myself cut the grass last night  

 

Yogi, if we didn’t know better, we could easily think your family were taking part on 60 minute makeover!! I’m impressed with your teamwork, enthusiasm, skill sets and organisation. I hope you all have a celebratory feast when all of this is finished, Lord knows you deserve it  

 

El I hope all goes smoothly with your computer works, we’ll look forward to seeing you back here soon  

 

squiggle & moonie, how are you?  

 

I'm off to get Bramble’s annual booster vaccination, and then we should be free to have a relaxing afternoon & evening! 

~Sparkling Summer~

Yogi, I hope your family's work continues to go well and that your parents settle in

 

Summer, I hope Bramble's vaccination is quick and that the rest of your day is relaxing

 

My computer shop ordered the drive on Monday and I'll be taking my computer in once they let me know they've got the drive. Could be today or tomorrow. One the computer is back I may find that I have to reinstall various programmes of course.

And I'm back with the Super Hub 3 installed. The main diffference from the old one is that there's just the white bar at the bottom of the front to show all is OK whereas the old one had several green lights when all was OK. Other lights would come on if it wasn't OK. I'm using wired rather than wireless so no wireless light.

 

I've also changed the passwords which is always advisable.

lol It feels more like a 60 day makeover 

It will be worth it in the end.

 

I’m sure Bramble will get a tip-top health report
