One thing I love about rainy days is that it’s the perfect weather to cozy up and cuddle with my little girl while doing a movie or series marathon. Today’s hit BBC’s Merlin.
It’s interesting how she can understand the accent for one since we’re used to American English, and she’s just 2, but also how she’s able to understand the story. At first she used to ask who were on the good side and who were the bad knights when they start their battle wearing their medieval breastplate, but slowly she became familiar with their suits. Even when they wear their spartan helmets, she already knows who is on Arthur’s side.
I for one don’t really care about the battles. What I admire most about the show is the castle’s design and furniture and I can just imagine that their kitchen is like the one in Nanny McPhee. Don’t you just love the kitchen from “older” eras? I mean they always have those fresh breads in baskets, spices and leaves everywhere that you can just imagine how fun it is when they cook and just throw fresh basil, thyme… anything in their pots!
Also, it’s so amusing to see their pots just hanging everywhere. In a lot of medieval shows I’ve watched, most of than not, the pots become weapons too! I can just imagine how those must have hurt when they hit because back then their pots were probably made of heavier and sturdier metals.
Oh well, it seems Merlin is on break but I do hope the new season begins soon. For now the show has given me ideas on how to arrange my kitchen when we move to our home too. I would love to have a spacious kitchen just like the “olden” times.
