Lost in Austen and Never Coming Back

I have been enjoying watching the "Lost in Austen" series on TV these last two nights. Elliot Cowan was very haute (smoking hot!!) as Mr.Darcy in this miniseries, a most worthy successor to Colin Firth. I don't watch much TV (yeah, right), but the TV I most enjoy is from the UK. In addition to this wonderful mix up of the Austen novels, another guilty pleasure of mine is the BBC show, "Hotel Babylon". This show is so addictive it should come with a warning label.

The Lost In Austen show reminded me of how much I love Jane Austen. To me there are three kinds of people in the world; those who adore Jane and all her work, people who live in remote tribes yet to be discovered by Western civilization, and the unenlightened.

My wonderful husband indulges my passion for All Things Austen including getting me this Jane Austen Action figure last year for Christmas. I mean, doesn't every forty-something female want her own literature hero action figure?



My Darling hubby again, exceeded all expectations with this year's lovely gift of my very own "I<3 Mr.Darcy"!! What a guy!!


Thank you for sharing in my Austenmania and my best to you for a little indulgence of your fancies and whims, especially if they include Mr.Darcy, Oh My!!
