Has anyone watched "Keeping Up Appearances"? It was one of our favorite British sitcoms and we have watched many reruns on our TV. Patricia Routledge portrayed Hyacinth Bucket but insisted that her surname is pronounced "Bouquet". She was a wonderful actress and I was very familiar with her even before this popular role.
I read her biography recently and there was one quote that stood out for me, which I have shared today below the butterfly photo.
She had been made a Dame and her full title was Dame Katherine Patricia Routledge (2.17.29 - 10.23.25), born in Birkenhead, Cheshire, UK. Her father, Isaac Routledge, was a haberdasher and gentleman's outfitter, who married Patricia's mother, Catherine Perry, in 1924. Dame Patricia was a wonderful lady and more can be read about her life at the above link.

Happy Sunday, Denise!
ReplyDeleteYES. How we loved Keeping Up Appearances. I believe we have watched every one. It was such a wonderful show. I was sad to hear of her passing, but glad she lived to be such a great age!
ReplyDeleteDenise, Keeping Up Appearances is my absolute favourite Britcom. Hyacinth Bouquet 💐 ♥️ is hilarious. She was a fine actress and singer.
