Quote du jour - Call the Midwife 2018 Christmas special
There are always angels everywhere. Perhaps we only think to look for them at Christmas when their wings can be seen, when their halos glow with light. But they are always there. There in the quiet corners, there in the shadows, there in their ordinary clothes and they are beautiful. Make room for the angels for they will catch you unawares and fill your heart in ways you never could imagine.
I have recently started watching Call the Midwife and now I want to see the Christmas special. I am still in season one. I love your ornaments; I have the leg lamp but not the man. So funny.
ReplyDeleteI kinda envy you with so much ahead of you. They are best seen in order. A lot happens. There are many changes.
DeleteI don't watch Midwife but I do occasionally hear the rustle of angel wings and see the light of a halo. Then my heart is full of hope and love.
ReplyDeleteI think you'd like the show. Excellent stories, setting, time period, characters. Perfect, really.
DeleteSeasons Greetings, Nan. could you email me your postal address so that I can send you a book? x
ReplyDeleteThank you, but I can't seem to find your email address.

Deletesee you there soon!
The best show! I drive all my friends crazy with my reminders to watch it. The depth of feeling is amazing, so well presented.
ReplyDeleteMary
It is simply wonderful!!!
DeleteI've only seen one episode. Time to give this program a more serious try. Thanks for the reminder, Nan!
ReplyDeleteI think it is the best program there has ever been on television, Les! I cry every episode, but I also smile and laugh. It is truly remarkable.
DeleteMerry Christmas Nan! I love Call the Midwife. One of the best shows on TV. I love the time period and the music they choose for each episode is so well done. I cry every single time I watch the show.
ReplyDeleteThank you, and the same to you! Your words could be mine about CtM!!
DeleteI saw a few scattered episodes by chance, some in England, some in Germany, and loved those bits - but somehow was never "hooked" enough to start watching it steadily.
ReplyDeleteThe bit about angels is something my Mum could have written! Her maiden name is Engel (German for angel).
Thank you for telling me about Engel meaning angel. I just love that.
DeleteMy DVR automatically recorded the Christmas special and I just found it yesterday, and watched it. Such a wonderful program. I also cry, and smile, every episode. If something ever happens to Sister Monica Joan, I will be devastated.
ReplyDeleteMe, too!! I love that character so much. And I do miss the one who did die - though I won't mention her name in case someone happens to read this comment who hasn't seen the whole series yet.
DeleteYou know what I did? I watched with subtitles and just paused it so I could copy down the words!! Thanks for your nice words.
ReplyDeleteThank you for transcribing this quote, I have been looking for it for days, because I loved it when I heard it at the end of the show. It is so true.
ReplyDeleteI am so tickled that you wrote about this so long afterwards! I could listen to Vanessa forever.
