The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady | Episode 1 (1984)

Spinster Edith Holden (Pippa Guard) is an art teacher, somewhat aloof from her large and talkative family. Set in 1906, this dramatisation of Edith's personal reflections and nature notes is a real gem. Based on the bestselling book and filmed in rural Warwickshire, each episode covers a different month. January: Edith tries to patch up old squabbles at the Holden family reunion. Remembering happier childhood days when Emma, her mother, taught the family to draw and delight in nature, she makes a meaningful resolution.
