Try The Dud Avocado by Elaine Dundy - very similar in feel to Mitford

I strongly second the earlier recommendation of the Cazalet Chronicles by Elizabeth Jane Howard.

Thanks again, have just ordered The Light Years.

Also just had long train journey today - am halfway through The Bolter. not really what i was expecting - it's making me a bit depressed - though it's very good. I think I'd really like a book all about the Radletts.

finished the bolter. very good, very depressing, and it's still going round my brain a couple of days later. thanks for the recommendation.
