Gilmore Girls Marathon



Felt marginally better today, and moved to the sofa to watch Gilmore Girls reruns which I sky+ed ages ago!

Watched the all the series last year for the first time, but I just love them. They are so funny and touching, and they feel like home. Strange thing to say given it's an american series but it just appeals to me so much. The quirky characters, the small close knit town, the way the seasons are celebrated, it all seems like those are the bits of America that I would like the most. Even the name of the town.. Stars Hollow, well it just makes you want to go there, to take part in the knitathon and all the other weird things that go on! Watching it turn from Autumn to Winter today, Pumpkins to Christmas trees, laying on the sofa in front of a warm fire, I got that tingling feeling.

Of course I know in my head it can't be like this really, there can't be such a warm wonderful small town place where everyone knows everyone, where decisions are made by town meetings, where you never want to leave.... but my heart, my heart wants it to be real, and wants to move there soon.
