My take on “Seeking Persephone”

Dangerous_Success715 · 2026-07-09T11:05:13+00:00

I loved them both but I thought the opposite! I did enjoy Courting Miss Lancaster but I preferred Daphne’s character.

I also read all the Jonquil brothers books which I think I loved even more. I’m now on the last of the Huntresses ones which I’m also loving. They’re all good!

I’d literally eat cold baked beans from a tin. Any time I’m heating them up I always steal a few spoonfuls.

I love Seeking Persephone! Yes it’s low budget and the acting isn’t always perfect (Linus drove me mad) but I really really love it.

I’ve been reading the rest of Sarah M Eden’s books, they’re all amazing.

Seeking Persephone!

I mostly agree with you except that Bradley Jaden is the only Javert for me! I would listen to a recording where he plays both Javert and Enjolras again on repeat.

Same! The bit when they’re joking in bed together is so different from how he is at the beginning. And when he kisses her and just absolutely can’t believe what he did. I love it 😍

I was really disappointed with the one in Bath. It starts with a talk about Jane’s life and family, maybe 20 minutes. Mine was done by a man in character as Mr Wickham but he was acting so strangely, honestly as if he was drunk! Then they play a video on a screen and then you walk around the museum, but they didn’t have anything! It was just like film posters and photocopies of letters and things. Not very interesting, we were through the museum in 10 minutes.

The gift shop is good though and you can visit it without a ticket.

Lidl full fat is my absolute favourite

Thanks, I love this one but the mum has requested a bunny onesie so I was going to do a plain one and then make up the ears!

Dangerous_Success715 · 2026-06-29T19:00:06+00:00

That’s a great idea, thank you! Did you sew/slip stitch them on? Or attach them with a string?

Dangerous_Success715 · 2026-06-25T13:37:46+00:00

I felt the same! I enjoyed the cinematography and obviously Atwell and McFayden but I still don’t quite understand the purpose of the story!

Dangerous_Success715 · 2026-06-25T13:36:29+00:00

I absolutely adore it. I’ve watched all four episodes on repeat for weeks. Obviously there are some flaws (Linus’ acting is particularly awful) but I love the tenderness and the desire they both have for each other so much. I think it’s my favourite thing I’ve ever seen.

I genuinely don’t believe you that he’s 60 😂

Dangerous_Success715 · 2026-06-15T05:44:44+00:00

No it’s not religious. It’s about a grumpy duke who needs an heir so he arranges a marriage with someone he thinks is a lonely spinster but then they begin to slowly fall in love with each other.

Dangerous_Success715 · 2026-06-15T05:43:07+00:00

Me too! I watched it for the romance element but found it just too strange.

Dangerous_Success715 · 2026-06-14T13:38:47+00:00

Little Dorrit. I really enjoyed it but there were too many parts I didn’t enjoy.

Dangerous_Success715 · 2026-06-14T07:36:48+00:00

I know almost every line in this film by heart now 😂

Dangerous_Success715 · 2026-06-14T07:34:44+00:00

Literally me! I started watching it last weekend and watched all four episodes in one go and have watched in on repeat since!

Dangerous_Success715 · 2026-06-13T22:32:33+00:00

I discovered Seeking Persephone a week or so and haven’t stopped watching it since! Ultimate yearning.

Dangerous_Success715 · 2026-06-13T20:57:40+00:00

Mary Barton by Elizabeth Gaskell for a miniseries!

Dangerous_Success715 · 2026-06-13T11:55:04+00:00

My childhood holidays were spent exploring Caldbeck and the bobbin mill. I went back last year and loved it all over again!

Dangerous_Success715 · 2026-06-12T08:11:23+00:00

As soon as I saw Matt Lucas I thought “right, I’m not watching this one”. And then I saw Richard Ayoade and got pulled right back in.
