How lucky we are. You'll love the Turner film - it's spectacular. And the Fighting Temeraire has a role too.bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09122791819498272634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-667348909154981284.post-27849237666527247882015-01-07T06:04:59.133-08:002015-01-07T06:04:59.133-08:00So looking forward to this film, it's had rave...So looking forward to this film, it's had rave reviews here but alas has not made it up to my neck of the woods yet...but is available in rural Canada?!<br />Timothy Spall is an amazing character actor, apparently spending months perfecting his painting technique and of course, Mike Leigh is renowned here for his semi improvised dramas (on TV), plays and films. Who can ever forget Abigail's Party? <br />Turner's Fighting Temeraire adorned our living room wall for many years in the 70's until it's glorious muted colours faded to blue leaving me with a soft spot for the artist and the memories of that time he always invokes.(it was a print I hasten to add!)<br />I had to laugh at the image of you crawling out of your grandson's car, I can hardly get out of bed the day after looking after my twin grandaughters....a lot of creaking and groaning whilst getting into an upright position! And I think they're keeping me young!
