Our First Morning Back Home,

washing machine on as we unpacked,



 and a look to where we had been, last year John O'Groats, this year Lands End,

for anyone not familiar with the names, they are the points furthest north and south that you can travel to in the UK by road, next just a couple of letters in the post, I watered the orchids, Diana had to pop into Bromley to exchange some shopping, I spent the day catching upon some of the blog, in the late afternoon Steve called round for a chat and a coffee just as Diana returned, after saying goodbye to Steve and our evening meal it was feet up, 

for Snatch, which was great fun, we had watched it before, and was just as enjoyable this time round, 

next for this evening Dunkirk, we had watched it once before, in a cinema when it was first released in 2017, this what I wrote then, 
'we both enjoyed to film immensely, but as with all of this type of movie, the facts of what happened in Dunkirk are lost in droves, for instance the hospital ship sinking at the mole was the the SS Paris, but it was actuality bombed and sunk at sea, there was a hospital ship sunk at it's mooring a few hundred kilometres away, the Maid of Kent, in Dieppe, I guess someone could not remember where they were filming, and it gets worse', 
but still enjoyable to watch again despite the inaccuracies, 

we followed that, and rounded the evening off with The Death of Stalin, what a treat! there were so many well known faces in the film, I am surprised we had not watched it before, the settings superb and the script enthralling, it was a joy to watch each of the politburo jockeying for position, with alliances disappearing even before they were known by other members of the group, as each protagonist made a bid for power, a great find and well worth viewing, with the end of that we were off to bed.
