miss b loves .......Paddington

While strolling around London before Christmas, I stumbled across Paddington Bear .....well several actually! I have fond childhood memories of the Paddington Bear books and the adventures of this very cute bear with a marmalade habit!

I discovered that these statues were part of the Paddington Trail and with more time, I would have liked to have seen them all! The trail has now ended, the bears have been auctioned and over £930,000 has been raised for the NSPCC Childline Service. The trail coincided with the release of the Paddington film.

miss b loves.....'Salmon Fishing in the Yemen'.......the film!

Don't be put off by the title........there's much more to this film than fishing!! Starring Ewan McGregor, Emily Blunt and Kristin Scott Thomas, this is a British romantic comedy-drama from the director of Chocolat and the screenwriter of Slumdog Millionaire.......

miss b loves........stylish cinemas..and surprisingly... Mission Impossible!

Premier
'The Business Class Movie Experience'

Sometimes watching a film at the cinema is a disappointment - it's not usually the fault of the actual film but more the cinema experience .....too loud....seats too uncomfortable...... 


It's always such a pleasure going to the cinema in Dubai - particularly the Reel Cinema at Dubai Marina Mall for the 'business class movie experience' where 'you can enjoy all the action in style' - huge twin reclining seats (ergonomically designed!), waiter service, and for a small additional coast - pillows and blankets!
