I can't remember the last time I was so looking forward to a new TV drama and even being in the middle of a house move didn't stop me counting down the minutes to the start of #TheWhiteQueen last night.Īnd I wasn't disappointed. I feel a little differently about it now but I'll save that for later in May. Eight years later, my son is happily reading his own books and writing his own stories so I'm taking myself back to that summer and how I felt about a TV show that was like water in a desert for me after months of no books or TV. Writing the blog was a chance to start taking just a few minutes a day for me amidst the all consuming and utterly enthralling job of being a mum. I was a new mum at the time and this was the first show I'd actually watched properly since welcoming my son a few months earlier. This whole little project of mine started back in 2013 so I could write reviews of the TV series based on Philippa Gregory's novel. Through May, I'm going to be celebrating the White Queen on the blog. ![]()
