My wife and I recorded the two latest episodes of this because it comes on after Downton Abbey where we live on Sundays on PBS. However, after recording these two we realized there are (7 seasons?). Anyway we decided to watch it from the first season so we had to go through our roku to Amazon Prime (which we are a member) and get the first episode (which is number 2 because number 1 only introduces you to the actors playing the parts.
Anyway, as I watched the first episode I understood myself better of what happened to me being raised by two ministers. I could see clearly how a lot of the fundamental ways I think came from having ministers as parents of a church in Los Angeles growing up. It provided a lot of stability because not only did they run a church together from the time I was 6 until I was 12, it also took a lot of time away from me because between running my Dad's Electrical Contracting business and being a minister they didn't have much time left for me growing up. However, they usually dedicated Saturday whenever they could to me and then we would go to the beach or mountains or to the desert because my Dad was a very out of doors kind of person and this made me love the out of doors too by camping all over the place in the mountains around The Angeles Crest in Chilao and other places and camping in the deserts and riding what was sort of like an inflatable boogie board in the 1950s in places like Santa Monica and Zuma Beach that you could either buy or rent during the summers at the beach then. This then dovetailed into me becoming a surfer around 1962 until 1969. But, when my surfing buddy had to join the air force so he wouldn't be killed by getting drafted in the Army and was sent to Thailand as a jet engine specialist who worked in all military air force jets I didn't have a surfing buddy and switched from surfing to mountain climbing, rock climbing and skiing but still body surfing and boogie boarding and snorkeling and Scuba diving at the beach too during the 1970s and after. I still ski today here in 2015 and hike and snorkel especially in Hawaii like I did a few weeks ago now.
So, watching Grantchester I began to understand why my girlfriends and my buddies shared so much with me that they might not have with other people because I like my parents was skilled in listening to people's problems and in counseling them like my parents were too. So, this program answered many questions about my life that I hadn't seen before. Also, it explained why death doesn't bother me because my mother led about 300 funerals between 1956 and 1960 when her father died and my parents gave up being the leaders in charge of that church. I think the lady they gave it to lived to be in her 100s maybe 104 to 106 and stayed the leader of that church all these years since.
