I remember Flambards!! It was one of my favourite books. I watched the series and I did have them on video but now I don't have a video recorder!! I seem to remember the series ended with the third book, but there was a fourth one where she ends up with Mark.
I never saw A Horseman Riding By but I LOVED R F Delderfield's books. His books "There was a Fair Maid Dwelling" and "The Unjust Skies" were combined to make "Diana" starring Jenny Seagrove. It's never been released on DVD though.
Sorry Dotty, gone right off topic.
