@bookstodon I've burned through all of the Brother Cadfael books in the past couple of months, and I have a question: I've Googled this a bunch, but I still can't find anybody online who is connecting the dots to prove that Cadfael himself was the reason that there were so many murders in a relatively few years, in this tiny 12th century English town.

But I am compelled to watch because I miss England's wonderful summer hedgerows...😉😊
@RHW All the people who live in Midsomer are frightful! They are busybodies and snobs. I wouldn’t want to live there even with a perfect hedgerow. @BunRab @whitneymcn @bookstodon

😃😃They do seem pretty ghastly, but make for more fun. Suspect in real life only wealthy live there nowadays. But I still love looking at the old mansions, quaint cottages and scenery.
It is nostalgia for me, English countryside was a joy.
