Mom’s been watching the remake of All Creatures Great and Small and asked me for another vest by texting me this picture of Siegfried:

I spent a significant chunk of my childhood watching the car from the original All Creatures Great and Small drive backward by playing our VHS tapes in reverse, so I’m pretty sure it’s about vets from the 30s driving around the British countryside. Siegfried can be summed up (per my mother) thusly, “whatever James has, Siegfried’s is better. I think my version fell somewhere in between.
