Trivia
David Jason got a letter from someone saying they saw a house on the market identical to Toad Hall three miles from Jason's house. Jason went looking for it and found it. He said it was wonderful and seemed to go on forever. It had a lake fed by its own spring. It wasn't Toad Hall, but he could imagine living in it. It was twice the value of the house he already owned. He thought about it but had to pay full price when he lost a coin toss (despite his reputation as a wheeler-dealer). But driving up to the house made him realize how much he wanted it.

Whisper in the wind

A nice Relaxination show. Its mellow, you learn some social lessons and the animation is nice.

It's for both children and adults. The show is very smart so iunno if children today can handle it.

What can be learned? Manners

Verdict: Very mellow in deed.
