A delight for Christmas – Ballerina

Last Sunday we were invited the the screening of the new Disney film, Ballerina. Due to be released in cinemas on 19th December, so perfect timing for festive family viewing. Ava loves Ballet and so she was very excited to get the chance to see the film before general released. We arrived at the Vue cinema in Leicester Square and were greeted by a …

Weekend Snapshots Film – #8

I love photography and video, there’s nothing better than capturing those special family moments. Both freeze time so wonderfully for you all to experience in the future. When I can, I like to film snippets of our weekends, even the mundane, so we will remember this time in our lives.   Last weekend we went on a trip to the zoo, and Baby …

Weekend Snapshots Film #6

I started recording snapshots of our weekends when I began a film-making course. It was our first piece of homework and I have created a short film every week since.

A Day in Our Lives: Filmed

Sodors Legend of The Lost Treasure Premiere

Last Sunday we were invited the Leicester Square Odeon for the Premiere of the new Thomas the Tank Engine movie. When we eventually arrived, after a bit of a disastrous journey, the excitement was building outside; with a huge Thomas in pride of place on the special blue carpet. Baby was quite overwhelmed by her first ‘blue’ carpet experience and needed lots of mummy …
