to want to spend mothers day afternoon watching Anne of Green Gables with my daughters

[bigmouthstrikesagain]

The 1985 mini series of course.

Is that the one with Jonathan Crombie (I think that's his name) as Gilbert Blythe? If so, then YANBU and would not be so to want to watch it every day for the rest of your life.

What a fantastic idea. I wonder if my girls would be up for that.

Of course and yes I was a bit in love with him to but forgot until now.

But if they hate it and they may just be too young... But I just sat through a monster high film with them...

Is it on the telly or do you have a DVD? I remember reading the books as a child and would love a reminder.

He's 48 now! I did not just Google him

That's my dream mother's day!!!!

How old are they?

Mine's only 5. Give it 3 years and we'll be doing the same. Brilliant idea OP!

I bloody love Anne of green gables

Dvd ... The girls are 6 and nearly 9 and I bet gilbert is still lovely at 48 after all I am not 12 anymore

I loved the books I still remember when my younger sister read the first book and came downstairs sobbing because Matthew had died (as a horrible 16 yo I may have taken the piss at the time ).

wondeful idea, I loved that mini series too, as well as Anastia...

Apparently this is a thing - I'm taking my mum to see the play of it tomorrow! We both love it. My DD is too little yet but one day...

Sounds like my perfect Mother's Day too. Think Dd still a bit young (6), tho' she did ask to watch Sound of Music with me today

Oh I didn't know there was a play. Have fun.

'Raggletaggle gypsies' - possibly the best bit of the sequel.

I spent last saturday afternoon in bed watching this with baby asleep on me. Gilbert Blythe is still the most gorgeous man I've ever seen.

I love all the Anne books. I read them now probably about every two years, right up to Rilla of Ingleside. My dh always asks me why I'm crying and I try to explain, soppy old sod I must be.

yanbu. amazing series. I walked down the aisle to the theme tune!

I should read them again and my secret shame book daddy long legs (very dodgy sugar daddy tale but as an adolescent I loved it)

Absolutely not U. Insist on it. And if they won't watch it with you, demand they being you chocolate digestives and keep the noise down so you can enjoy it.

The Megan Follows TV series, yes?

Sounds perfect

I love the books and the TV version

Ah, Scones, that's lovely.

This is a fantastic plan. DD is too young by miles, but I have the DVD box set and the video version so that's tomorrow evening sorted the second DD's head hits the pillow!

Megan fellows yes ... I am glad ianbu

I have just popped all the green gables, little women and Daddy Long Legs on the kindle for £1.48 bargainous!

Ooh Anne of Green Gables was the first book I downloaded / read when I got my Kindle for Christmas, absolutely adored the books and the Megan Follows series
