One of the things we all love to do when Nigel is away is to watch Little House on the Prairie. It was a chance find- Tara was reading the book and really enjoying it, and I suggested we rent the series. Seems it was aired so long ago that the only way to watch it is to buy the boxed set!! And all three kids have been absolutely riveted.
Daniel loves the cowboy element, Emily loves that Laura was a real tomboy who climbed trees and went fishing, Tara loves Mary being a bookworm and a teacher, and I love the great morals and Christian teaching. Altogether a very wholesome watch- to the extent that we bought all 9 series!! And, in times of discipline, I have been heard to ask "What would Charles do?" !!!
This week we have started the last disc in the last series........
We are rationing ourselves to one episode a day (we have been known to do 4 or 5 on a lazy Saturday!!)
And I have started to think about what we watch next- resisting the urges from the kids to start back at the beginning again!!
So, any suggestions gratefully received....

Well the obvious one is the Waltons of course, or Anne of Green Gables, or Tom sawyer/Huckleberry Finn
