A little of this and a little of that, things that made me smile this week.
First, can we just say WOW!
And I loved this photo of Mrs. Trump on her joint engagement with the Princess of Wales - a visit to the Squirrels - a scouting group for four- to six-year-olds.
And from British TV's Facebook page, a write-up from one of my all-time favorite British TV shows.
Though it first aired more than 20 years ago, 'Monarch of the Glen' remains a delicious bit of escapism. Set in the Scottish Highlands, the series follows Archie MacDonald (Alastair Mackenzie) as he reluctantly returns to his family’s estate, Glenbogle, and is soon caught between tradition, responsibility, and the eccentric locals.
The ensemble includes Susan Hampshire ('The Forsyte Saga'), Richard Briers ('Ever Decreasing Circles'), and Dawn Steele ('River City'). Julian Fellowes—years before creating 'Downton Abbey'—also appears as the pompous Lord Kilwillie, adding another layer of fun for fans of British TV royalty.
With sweeping Highland scenery and gentle family drama, the series still charms audiences seeking a comforting escape. And an extra bit of trivia? The central home, Glenbogle, also doubled as Balmoral in 'The Crown'. In real life, it's called Adverikie House.
In the US, you can stream it on Amazon Prime and Pluto TV.
And Christmas is always a favorite, so I was doing a happy dance when the Countdown to Christmas line-up was announced.
Have a great weekend, everyone!
