Extraordinary Escapes (2021– ) User Reviews

True escapism

[matthew-r-norman · 10/10 · 28 February 2021]

In a world full of troubles, slip away for 45 minutes and enjoy the simple things in life. This programme isn't about the extravagant properties, it's about nature, mindfulness, the joy of being and of friendship. I loved it.

It is a joy.

In the current climate of neurological bombardment, this is a tonic for the mind. I enjoyed Channel 4's Canal Journeys and since they have ceased making them, I went looking for an alternative. Sandi is just pleasant company, gregarious and affable, she makes whomever she is sharing her 'escape' with have a pleasant experience. Some properties are interesting, others cosy - it inspires my interest in travelling. What a wonderful way to show us the broad range of places to visit in the United Kingdom/Ireland. There a plethora of blessed property owners in this world, and yet, this programmed is not in the least bit boastful, just appreciative.

Like an eager - to - please Fairy Godmother Ms Toskvig dispenses ...

....largesse to her guests,all of whom squeal with delight at her jokes as if schoolgirls vying to be Teacher's Pet.

Apparently staying at premises that would cost me my annual pension for a night's B & B Ms Toskvig and her pals exchange merry banter and coy references to whatever TV series they have appeared on before moving on to the next 'Grand Design' monstrosity.

I hope they enjoy packing and unpacking suitcases.

I'm sure Miss Toskvig knows a lot about the Hanseatic League and the Battle of Sole Bay,or indeed many facts about the square on the hypoteneuse,but I'd hazard a guess that most of us wold rather just enjoy the scenery.
