Many people's Christmas travel plans have been disrupted by the storms with many passengers stranded at train stations or the airport; at Gatwick Airport those hoping to escape the severe weather are likely to spend Christmas Day at the airport!
This week at the local cinema there has been a week of Kids Theatre productions , a piece of theatre followed by a film. Yesterday there was a Belgian company with a musical play about a witch and later on the International School from Carthage seemed to have a series of ' auditions' ;the presenter was very confident; in fact all the kids, aged from nine years old and upwards were all confident, the film ' The Day of the Blackbird' followed.
Today the theatre production came from Ukraine featuring two Ukrainian girls presenting a story and a dog crossing a bridge followed by the film 'Epic' a story about good against the forces of evil.
The action sequences and special effects reminded me of the film ' Lord of the Rings' and 'The Hobbit' whilst some of the effects reminded me a little of Doctor Who for instance the regeneration effect.
