In This House Of Brede Full Movie
Based on the novel, In This House of Brede, by Rumer Godden published in 1969. It is a portrait of religious life in England that centers on Philippa Talbot, a highly successful professional woman who leaves her comfortable life among the London elite to join a cloistered Benedictine community of contemplative nuns. It begins in 1954, as Philippa enters the monastery, Brede Abbey; continues through her solemn vows in the changing, post-Second Vatican Council environment; and ends as Philippa reluctantly accepts the call to lead a new Benedictine foundation in Japan, where she spent part of her childhood.

The BBC has returned to Rumer Godden's tale of nuns going loopy up a mountain almost as frequently as it has repeated The Sound of Music; in fact, there was also a 1997 dramatisation on Radio 4, but the one I'm uploading here is a five-part serialisation from 2008.

Time is a Stream by Rumer Godden (short story): https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/1949/07/09/time-is-a-stream
VANILLA CREAM RECIPE:
First, measure 4 Tbsps of sweet Sherry and 1 Tbsp water into saucepan (2 Tbsps good vanilla plus 3 Tbsps water can be substituted). Add the thin peel of one lemon and set aside for 1/2 hour.
Next, whip 575ml double cream until thickened, but still liquid (stop before the cream starts making soft peaks).
Then, soak 4 gelatine leaves in 4 Tbsps of cold water for 5 mins. Drain and remove the now softened gelatine from the water, squeezing out any excess water and add the gelatine to the Sherry mixture in the saucepan. Heat over a gentle heat stirring constantly until the gelatine is all melted and then add 2 Tbsps caster sugar, and continue stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Be careful not to boil the mixture. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 2-3 minutes.
Fold the gelatine and Sherry mixture into the cream gently with a large spoon. Pour into a prepared mould(s) (we used one old fashioned decorative pint glass mould and two small copper ones, all lightly oiled, or you can line a loaf tin with cling film that overhangs the edges, and pour the mixture into that for an easy-to-turn-out version). Cover and refrigerate for 2-3 hours, or overnight until ready to serve. For serving, ease the edges of the velvet cream gently away from the edges and carefully use a knife to loosen as much as possible, carefully dip briefly the mould into a tin filled about 1/3 full with very hot water to loosen the bottom (you might need to do this twice or so) and un-mould onto a pretty plate. Decorate with berries of your choice, and (optional) serve with a berry sauce.
