"poking around aimlessly in the soil". Edmund's non-gardner's description of gardening. I rather adore this Edmund. I'm in love with Insp Craddock (JohnCastle) but Edmund is strangely endearing.
Hassank: this is one of my favorite oft-viewed youtube uploads, thank you!

@allconspirer it's usually a scarf or jumper for her nephew Raymond West :)

Bunny drops a couple of inadvertant clues about the solving of the murder. One at the breakfast table, and one in this scene. Miss Marple heard the remark, and remembers it later.

Wonderful, seeing Kevin Whately...He looks like a baby, and so cute, too. After this, he played Sergeant Lewis in Morse, and now he has his own show on PBS, Mystery, reviving his role as Lewis, but he's had a promotion!

@bardar27 Yeah a great disguise. I was thinking of writing detective stories about an old lady in an old people´s home. Sitting in a wheel-chair and PRETENDING to be senile. But hearing everything! (and nights wheeling around snooping.) (in the first book there would be a murder at the old people´s home.) Why not? I´m a Swede. Once living practically neighbours with Stieg Larsson! (hint hint.)

If you had been living in a small secluded village and personally experienced the deep suspicion that 'bookishness' arouses in such places, it might make you smile too... Did for me. I grew up in a place like that, where being too learned gave a person a status in the community a bit like a sorcerer(ess)... :-)
"An old lady asking questions is just an old lady asking questions." That is the secret of Miss Marple.

Ration books were issued as coupons allowing the holder certain foods, sugar flour butter and gas, etc. I was born in 1944 but the family story is while my father was in the service my mother and grandmother were issued ration books but they LOST one. It was a tragedy. 30 odd years later while my parents were moviing away from the family homestead the book was found. I still have it. It is a treasure of history.
