  • The Friday Five

    As seen here

    1. Do you have a favourite part of autumn?

    Halloween - Bonfire Night. I love the excitement of Halloween and also the closeness of our world and the spirit world. The smell off bonfires and (in moderation) the fireworks

    2. "It's too cold to snow!" Do you think it ever is?

    Yes

    3. Do you feel there is still a place for British Summer Time or should we just stop changing the clocks?

    Yes - it's silly but British!

    4. Are there certain meals you only eat in certain seasons (salad in summer, stew in winter)?

    Salads are just not the same in winter - but I can eat stew in summer

    5. Autumn is...?

    Colourful but miserable

  • What would you do?

    Makes me feel sick to think about it, but if my child has been one of the abused at the Day Nursery in Plymouth, I would want to know. Would you???

  • Great British Film - Harry Brown

    Last night, Lee & I had a, long overdue, night out.

    Thanks to our friends at See Film First I managed to get tickets for the preview of Michael Caine's new film - Harry Brown.

    I shy away from action films, which show graphic violence. But I'm glad I took the opportunity to see this.

    From the opening of the film, showing Caine as the elderly Harry Brown, getting out of bed in his little flat, going to hospital to see his wife, the long way round. Avoiding the "thugs" who frequented the pedestrian underpass (sound familiar?) Right up to the graphic scenes of violence and drug taking as he turns vigilante to bring his own justice for the death of his only friend.

    Think of Layer Cake and Trainspotting, combined with Michael Caine's ability to portray the character that draws you into the world.
