Blame it on Anne of Green Gables... — 2 years ago
I’m sure plenty of people have… It was the wonderful 1980s TV mini series which was shown at my Aussie primary school during rainy lunches which led me down this path… I remember the boys squirming with boredom, itching to be outside running around like the little terrors they were, or swinging a cricket bat, whilst the girls sat quietly, enthralled with the turn of the century period clothing, rather large round hair and the rather lurvely Gilbert Blyth (Jonathan Crombie was the actor I believe). The mini series led me to discover the wonderful stories of LM Montgomery – so much more satisfying that the Sweet Valley High stories also in vogue in the 80s (although I have to confess I did enjoy chatting over the wheres and whyfores of the Wakefield twins with friends!)
