AND was the location for the filming as described:
"There can be few such memorable fictional families as the gutsy, lusty Larkins; irrepressible Pop, voluptuous Ma, beautiful Mariette and the gaggle of young, noisy, children. This walk takes you through the heart of The Darling Buds of May country, for not only was the television series filmed at Pluckley*******, but the creator of the Larkins, H E Bates, lived at Little Chart which you pass on your route."

Correct vannin, but I don't think I would describe the filming as a ' peculiar distinction.' cheers Penny :grouphug:

Maybe not - but that is a strange description itself, since 'peduliar' and 'distinct' both have the same definition, namely uncommon or unusual!! :grouphug:
