Woman In Black

Let it be know I love a good Horror film, I love being scared and involved with all those things that go bump in the night and so when I saw the trailer for new film for Daniel Radcliff who I have adored growing up in the Harry Potter film, ' Woman In Black' I grew increasingly excited and not in a arousing way either, for me Daniel will always be that cute little 'Harry Potter' and stay firmly in the none sexual attractive pile!

I have to say the film and Daniels acting didn't disappoint had all the classic hallmarks for being a Halloween classic. I often wondered why film producers don't release films to coincide with Christmas or Halloween??

This film gets my recommendation but make sure you leave the lights on!!
Hopefully we will see more excellent films from Daniel.

Secret and Lies

I am a very private person, I have strong opinions but on the whole I keep these to my self.
I don't boast about what I have or what I have done because I feel this is unfair to those less fortunate then myself
I don't possess that nasty trait of jealously and certainly don't tell lies however I do keep secrets, for me it's on a need to know basis!

So you couldn't quantify the immense shock I gained when a aunt who was cross that I only gave 30 euro wedding present to my cousin accused me for being tight considering I was a very rich woman!
This couldn't be further from the truth as I in fact gave a 50 euros and I am not a very rich woman. her rudeness was enough to make me back out of the situation without backlash.

A few weeks later I related the conversation to a family member to which she replied 'well I overheard you telling someone that you have blah blah blah'
This is something I am extremely proud of not because it's worth heaps but because I gained it solely by working hard and on my own.
The problem is, I actually never told this person I had it so she thought I was liar and doing so to make me look better..

This is when the secrets kick one in the arse! Though it has been pointed out to me that if these people really knew me that would know I am really not like that in the first place!

The Iron Lady

I watched the Iron Lady yesterday, to be honest I was asked what did I want to see and I said I don't know surprise me! So I didn't know what showing until the credits rolled up, Oh I thought I am not sure about Meryl Streep playing Margaret Thatcher but I sat there quietly, with in Ten minutes I was totally absorbed although still I can't get my head around Meryl being Mrs T, Yes I think she did a great job of playing her but it was just weird!

The drama it self also touches into an elderly persons slide into dementia and also Mrs T's very loving relationship with Dennis.

I do recommend watching this one perhaps you will have a better grip of Meryl playing the part the 11 year serving prime minster, not only did she put the Great back into Great Britain she was also a woman and a mother.

Craig Y Nos Castle

After a over night stay at this beautiful Three star hotel I thought I would spread the word about it as I really feel it's heading for ' use it or lose it' doom!

Craig Y Nos was built around 1862, so not the oldest of castles but it is steeped in welsh history and mystery with ghosties, curses and legends
This was once to home of Adelina Patti who is something of an enigma. The second most celebrated woman in the world in the year 1900, after Queen Victoria, is today almost forgotten. she loved craig y nos and lived there almost 50 years before she died, it is said that her ghost amongst others lurks in the castle.
The castle is set in beautiful national parkland and boasts it's own theatre
It has become a popular wedding venue but the obvious problem is it is privately owned and needs a dramatic amount of money spent on it and without any help from the welsh assembly they struggle on.
I have to say I am very open to all things that go bump in the night, spirits love making contact and scared the bejesus out of me, however I felt nothing that night and was sleeping in the former chapel which is now the bridal suite.
I recommend this castle to you all however go with the idea that you are entering a quirky castle with staff that are very loyal to it, there is room for a million miles of improvements but it's about the love not the money!
Expect three star hotel and you will have a wonderful experience!
