Waitin' for the Weekend

Something different:  the members of the Brighton Swimming Club assembled in all their, uh, finery on the beach in 1863.  And you thought the Victorians were all stuffy and humorless.

In an English Country Garden

I wonder if any of my truckbuddies remember the tune of the same title:  it was a well-known piece that I learned to play as a kid while taking piano lessons (which, alas, I didn't continue very long).

I was reminded of both tune and title by the serendipitous discovery on YouTube of some BBC programs done in the late 1980's which are really delightful.  I don't think they were ever shown over here, but if you like to cook and garden, check these out, I think you'll enjoy them.
