You know you’re in England
Dec 24th, 2007 by ShaunO
You know you’re in England when they’re talkin’ on the radio about ‘going indoors’ and ‘hose pipes’…
Or driving across Cambridgeshire early on sunny morn and the hard frost has painted the landscape white – vertically as well as horizontally -
tree frames covered in picture postcard fluffy frost from top to bottom.
Or watching the BBC Scotland’s 1975 production of Secret Garden – a lovely English children’s story of ‘magic’, and animals, and gardens…
You know you’re in England when you’re swooshing across the Fens by train, the deep black fields are scattered with pheasants and the horizon is a mist covered tree line.
Or watching the latest BBC remake of Dickens’ Oliver Twist – this one interestingly cast, succinct, dramatic, and, as is traditional, served up on TV in the Christmas season…
You know you’re in England my dears…
