We're on holiday in Northumberland with Matt's family this week. The sky has been very dramatic for our first night! That's the cottage we're staying in. There's nothing else nearby… Sarah says it's like The Village, Signs and The Happening movies.
PS Sorry about the watermarks – the software is too expensive, so I've made do!

August 17th, 2011Phew! It's a good job police are monitoring social networks so closely. Someone might have gotten wet.
Just seen Super 8
August 15th, 2011Fantastic film. Very exciting and just enough jumpy bits to not put you off. Lots of emotion and fun.
I think it's the first proper, classic style film I've seen in a long time.
Even Caroline was disappointed it ended! And the credits are great 🙂
It's one to see at cinema if you can.

August 9th, 2011I think this article resonates with my sentiments over the riots, although it doesn't say anything very concrete about what the long-term solutions are.
Of course, the riots themselves are a problem that need dealing with promptly and with a balanced degree of force, but they are certainly also a symptom of a bigger problem.
It's not a problem I can pretend to understand (not being that read up on politics and social affairs), but that our society has produced so many people capable of these atrocious acts is a reflection of our society.
Weird experiment
