Sightseeing in the Isle of Wight

It was a sunnier second day in the Isle of Wight. We combined hiking with sightseeing. Discovery of the day: the newer buses have USB charging! How enlightened😊 Best local tip: for groups of 3-5, buy the day group saver if travelling on the buses. You can buy it on the bus. View photos Sightseeing in the Isle of Wight

First night of the proms

First night of the proms: standing in the gallery with the gods and the BBC. Photographing the filmmakers: you can see presenter, Katie Derham, below and the women controlling the autocue. Even the “spontaneous” remarks are scripted. Is nothing sacred?! 😊 View photos First night of the proms

Indian Film Festival – Newton

Without any plans, we ended up at the BFI to see Newton and director’s Q+A, part of the London Indian Film Festival. It examined the complexities of democracy in India (and around the world) in a satirical, simple and charming way. A lovely small film: catch it if you can 😊
