Sanditon -- The Picnic 

My favorite part is Leo’s eyes darting back and forth when Colburne hands Charlotte the flowers...just waiting for her to pull a full on parent trap.

I love the last bit where each of them watches her walking away, with both a wonder and a longing in each of their eyes. Each of them falling in love with her, utterly charmed by her, and charmed by what is coming over them, the different oddly shaped pieces of the puzzle coming together in a fit. Finally. Sigh.

A man who knows his flowers. One of the many things I love about Colbourne. ❤️

I love them so much!!! I like him better than Sidney and think there is a potential for a much deeper connection and a much stronger love between these two!

Leo so desperately seeking her father's attention. The way she calls out..it's Father! So sweet..love this clip.

Thank you. Surprisingly intrigued. He has a sensual and quite pleasing way about him. They chose well. Happy to say I am stil enjoying Charlotte's journey.

This scene revealed qualities of Colbourne not revealed before, the flower he gave Charlotte showed a kind gesture on his part in presenting Charlotte with her favorite flower and the delicacy with which he gave the flower to her along with a look full of sweetness looking to Charlotte.

This is my favorite scene so far! Absolutely loving these two. Blue cornflowers for everyone!🥰 💙💠

I love how Charlotte creates an opportunity for him to join his girls. The talk about the horse gives him a reason to get closer. Then it's easier to accept the invitation, especially after the look Charlotte gives him. She is knitting them together.

I think Colbourne seems to have quite a wry sense of humour too, sending Hannibals regards to Charlotte and joking Augusta never smiles. One improvement on Sydney Parker I think who always seemed to be either shouting, brooding or stern..

There's gonna be a lot of wound healing indeed going forward, and that's gonna be put to the test..Very symbolic.

The cutie is asking about the cornflower. That scene melted my heart.🌹❤❤

This is my 3rd favourite scenes. The cornflower is the love symbol that unite all of them as a family. I watched Sanditon many times when I missed it. Memorable moments. Thank you Susan.

I can't help but think of when D'Arcy helps Lizzy into the carriage in the P&P film here. The moment when D'Arcy flexes his hand from Lizzy's touch. Alexander rubs his thumb and finger together after passing Charlotte the cornflowers. Such a lovely yet subtle moment 🥰

The hope in his eyes at the end

He’s obviously inwardly thrilled that she asked about Hannibal so he has an excuse to come over. She totally asked because she wanted him to come down. The games of love... 🥰

Loved watching this again and reading the comments below. I love the deference when she says "Thank you, sir", after he hands her the cornflowers. Charlotte is gorgeous beyond words ! 😍

I love that Colbourne can speak to animals, Hannibal, Luna.. love his sense of humor with Leo and that jab at Augusta.

The light tap on Leo's right shoulder when Charlotte leaves the picnic grounds... very spontaneous gesture, I thought.

Love this scene. I’m guessing cornflowers will be given to heal the “poison arrows’ loosed at the end of season 2, when we get season 3. Waiting……….

Just here to appreciate how much Leo wants her father, despite the fact he is constantly scolding her.

An important turning point in AC's relationship with his niece. I love the touch of awkwardness in his attempt to engage Augusta in conversation, and she meets it with the usual attempt to get Charlotte in trouble and needling him about Lucy. But by the end, his teasing comment that Augusta is incapable of smiling has a gentleness that his words in earlier episodes have lacked. Looking at Augusta's eye rolls in response to Leo's and AC's teasing, I can't help but think it is not entirely unwelcome attention. There is a hint of a suppressed smile there.

Love them together, loving this season!

The writers were very clever in choosing cornflowers for Colbourne to give to Charlotte, for in the language of flowers they have many meanings. In ancient times they were a symbol of love and beauty, and also purity. This is a beautiful scene .. 3 modest cornflowers, in comparison to the huge bouquet of wildflowers the Colonel had sent ♥

He's so handsome when he smiles

I hope she has the cornflowers in her hair or bouquet at their wedding

This is a "family" in the making--due to Charlotte.

You know, I think this is the last time Augusta tries to get Charlotte in trouble.

Oh, Augusta. She's magnificent, but still very young, and sad. I really liked where (and how) she was in the ending scene before the epilog.

When Augusta says her uncle never speaks of his dead wife, it appears she thinks he didn't love her or something. However, I watch a lot of true crime documentaries and twice recently family members of murder victims have reported: 1. a son who couldn't say his dead father's name for ten years without crying, 2. the sister of a murder victim said her parents never mentioned their dead daughter's name again. It was just too painful. I realize that murder adds an extra special trauma to a family members death, but Lucy Colbourne's circumstances were also quite painful for her husband. I read in another post where the commenter thought Mr. Colbourne never loved his wife, but I disagree. I think he wouldn't have been so wounded if he didn't love her, nor would he have felt the need to keep her portrait on the wall.

Are we to believe he just happened to walk by coincidentally or did he perhaps see them and then deliberately chose to walk by nonchalantly?

I love the picnic scene! I must've watched it a dozen times already! 🤩 I wish Colbourne had allowed his girls to go to the Fair! Leo especially would've LOVED the air balloon and I bet she would've begged her father to let her ride on it! I'm assuming he wouldn't let Leo and Augusta go to the Fair because it was a Parker brothers production - and there's no love lost between he and Tom Parker. I wish they would've had a scene where Charlotte tells Leo all about her thrilling balloon ride that almost went wrong!

anybody doesn't believe he just Accidental came to that side of house

He would be much better for her than Sidney

He just happened to be passing by❤❤❤❤

Curiosity is soaring…I hope he took them to the fair. I sure do hope Charlotte will only be thinking of him when her heart is open to love again. I hope Lennox will get friend zoned like Stringer although I liked Stringer. Lennox I can tell already isn’t a good guy.

Mi piace questa scena

This breaks my heart 😢

Leonard’s coat is cute

How Ben has changed since the movie divergent.

Getting used to this "new guy". I'm actually liking his character! As for Mr. Parker - he is annoying me more than in season 1.

Charlotte being raised on farm should have known the name of those weeds

Xander looking for his governess❤❤❤

I’m not exactly loving it. It seems like charlotte gets the leftover men whom have already lost their love and have loads of pain.
