The venue is the deconsecrated church of Saint Martin de Dauzats, now transformed into a cultural center for the south Tarn, and beloved by the musicians who play there because of the wonderful acoustic.

One of the best series ever. Ross Poldark was so attractive with his long sideburns. Had recorded it on Video 2000 and watched it over and over...

Well done, dear Meredith! You are very inspiring!
Well done my friend. Crazy and exciting.
Oh Meredith, congratulations! What an adventure! 🪂💓
Wow. I've done a lot of crazy things in my life but you wouldn't get me up there. Congratulations.
Ne pas oublier. Bravo et merci pour votre sacrifice.❤
Bonne anniversaire Myriam 🥸
אחת הסדרות הכי יפות בשנות השיבעים,אבל הסיבה האמיתית שצפיתי בא היה השחקן רובין אליס הנאה שגילם את "פולדארק",הייתי מאוהבת בו.❤
Happy birthday Meredith! You are amazing❤ Have a good one! Xx Sylvia from Adelaide

I was one of Paul’s neighbors in Serra Retreat. This was just sent from another neighbor. We loved Paul and cherished our time on this earth with him. Thank you Meredith for making such a beautiful tribute to a generous, kind soul who touched us all.
Thank you, Michele. I was just corresponding with another old friend of Paul's this morning, Peter Fitzmaurice. He is still very much in the hearts of those that cared about him!
Kathryn Linehan our other neighbor received a sign from him and that is how she discovered your tribute. He’s with us.
Renovation works have begun on the (deconsecrated) church . If you'd like to contribute something to this project, visit our GoFundMe page: gofund.me/f841dc3d/. The work is being done by a volunteer group interested in French patrimoine (but still materials must be purchased). You can follow the progress on our Facebook page: facebook.com/profile.php?id=61550015845380/.
Beautiful place!
Perfect. Very moving. Arlene R
You'll never hear a more sensitive version of this piece! This old French Erard piano is perfect for it too.
The REAL Poldark. Forever my favorite. He's still pretty darn gorgeous.
Ver esta serie con el paso de los años es fantástico. Me gustaría pusieran la segunda temporada en español.
Hello My name is Laura and I have the privilege of being the friend and caregiver of Harley, Paul’s beloved dog and companion. I spent many, many days going next door sitting on the back steps and throwing the ball for Harley and visiting with Paul. Over several years I grew to love Harley and learned from her how to try and live in the moment. I hope Paul would be happy to know she is now with me.
Thank you, Laura, for agreeing to look after Harley! Those of us who were friends of Paul are collecting funds to help defray some of the costs of looking after a large dog like that. You have stepped forward to do the task that would mean the most to Paul. Bless you! ❤
I was in LOVE with poldark when I was Seven, now I am in my fifty's but still in LOVE with him
Wonderfull
Was a wonderful siria, sweet demelza and handsome ros, a good memory
WOW! Great video (great editing, too!)

I first encountered Keith on the rugby pitch at Stanford in 1961 and instantly made a lifelong friend. He recruited me to join his fraternity, Delta Upsilon (DU), and I was invited to a "rush party" at Filoli, a fancy estate in the foothills overlooking San Francisco Bay. I watched in awe as a (large) bunch of DUs overpowered Keith and heaved him into the swimming pool. In midair he shouted "You bloody f**king colonials!" That sold me and I "pledged" (joined) the very next day! I was privileged to make many visits to the Oracle of Boggioli, enjoying his wit and wisdom more each time. And I always delight in our case of Boggioli oil arriving each winter. Keith will be sorely missed by all who knew him.
Thanks for sharing your memories of him. I invite others to do so too.
Absolutely beautiful tribute to a man i didn’t know and wish i had
Lovely. Which Oliver soundtrack is it, the movie or Broadway or West End?
All looks yummy. Greatly enjoyed the sound track.
This is beautiful Meredith. On your recommendation we bought some of Keith's olive oil and shipped it to the US. This is such a wonderful capsule of what was obviously a well-lived life.
Lovely and true tribute. A wonderful human being, curious and witty, cultured and worldly and exquisite company. They don't make 'em like that any more. Addio, Keith.
I remember watching this when it originally aired. I think l was 20 years old when it started. It was fantastic and the acting was superb. I also enjoyed Poldark with Aidan Turner and seeing Robin Ellis once again playing the judge.
Strikingly beautiful and peaceful.
So beautiful ♪♫~♥~♫♪♪♫~♥~♫♪ thank you Sisters, may we be ONE in the circle of Light.
What a beautiful and magical place! If only those walls could talk. Perhaps they do!
just exquisite... thank you for sharing.... whew... I am moved... .

Perché non lo trasmettete in italiano come negli anni 70?
That is up to Italian TV to do it--not us!
