I will be opening a bottle of wine and having an hour of pure escapism with this lovely unassuming young man I am sure it will be a beautiful programme

yes Monty is a nice chap , the sort of son any mother would be proud of .This version of the escape seems slightly different to the Applecross and Hebrides adventures in that it has less about settling in to the surroundings.
I will enjoy it just the same and I guess there are many scenic treats to come.

Re: Monty and his dog Reuben are back
I was a little annoyed with the continual Irish music playing in the background and I thought Monty was trying too hard sometimes. The pleasure of the last series was in the naturalness of the presenter, which seemed to be rather false this time, as was the repetitive formula,i.e. isolated cottage, growing own crops etc etc. Having said that it was easy viewing and the landscape was stunning, but for me it had lost the naive charm of the previous series.
