Having just had the all-clear from a biopsy result after 10 days of stress and worry, I wanted to sit with my husband and a bottle of wine and watch something with lovely scenery and a bit of romance.

This is a lovely story of romance in later life that gives people a reason to enjoy life again. Very well acted by James Cosmo, a well known character actor for years, shining in this leading role.

A grizzled old sea captain widower is brought back to living again hen his troubled daughter hires a local woman to be his housekeeper. Initially reluctant and rude, he soon develops feelings for her, which are reciprocated, much to the dismay of his daughter. The housekeeper, however, has a loving family who embrace the couple's relationship.

Some issues are not fully explored in terms of his fractious relationship with his daughter.

Overall it's a lovely, gentle film that embraces older people as capable of falling in love and finding a new lease of life.
