I was going to run out of rum!
so off to town for me, it was a bit of a grey day,
but the flowers in the garden of Foxgrove Lodge were putting on a good show,
the owners have also put a few flowers in the grass on the corner of the turning,
and nice they looked too,
into Lidl,
I nearly bought some sunflowers,
the cloud did not bode well for the journey home, but I luckily missed the rain,
'Cheers!', a sherry and a read,
country vegetable soup for our starter,
which was nice,
followed by turkey, with gravy for Diana,
sans gravy for myself,
eyes down and tuck in!
for dessert a raspberry trifle,
'Cheers!',
after out late lunch Diana asked to watch a film we had seen before The Odd Couple, made in 1968, for myself a brilliant film, Diana also found it so funny,
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 miles 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 rounded off the evening with one from The Casebook Of Sherlock Holmes, next for us we were off to bed.

Dunkirk was really two movies, one of fantasy and one of suffering. Key for this type of work is to convey to the audience the trend and factual outcome. History is a blur because politicians want to make unpleasant events go away while getting credit for anything positive. By the time a film is made who really knows what really happened….so movies usually have a moral message regarding humanity so as long as the truth and general facts check, we accept. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. John & Alley
Dear John and Alley, it was a real emergency, no rum, perish the thought! as for the movies I am a stickler for facts, so I tend to miss the message and just see how many twists are put into the history of the piece, if you like this film about Dunkirk there is a far superior one staring John Mills made in 1958, my father took me to see it when it came out, many of the audience that were in the theatre may well have actually been there, best regards, Stan and Diana.
