Sometimes it’s difficult to know what to write, but I thought I’d start with something and see how it continues.
Went to see another film today called ‘Young Victoria’. Yes it’s about Queen Victoria!
I enjoyed it, but you need to be able to enjoy costume drama’s, like the ones you used to get on a Sunday night on the BBC a long time ago. It’s a period setting from the middle 1800s…in fact I can tell you exactly when…it started in 1819, and went through till around 1860.
For me, being English, it was great, makes you feel very patriotic. It showed a glimpse, albeit a writers impression, of what it was like to be the queen.
Emily Blunt is great as the young Victoria, and Rupert Friend is Albert.
Very Stirring.
And did it make me homesick…No! The weather was portrayed as raining all the time, and as we have quite good weather here, I wasn’t homesick at all!.
Well that’s it for today…just wanted to get going again.
