For those of you who are new to the blog we used to help run a film society in Newhaven. After 5 years of that we were ready to move on, which we did, stepping down in October 2017 – there are some great people running it now. We hadn’t
Film night – October 2017
Hi I’ve taken some cracking photos for the next blog post, but I thought I’d just squeeze this in on the last day of October, as this post is about our last day at the film society, as organisers. Because of course, we might very well come back just
Some film night outfits worn over the years
Wow, life has been sooo busy since we came back. First, it was the unpacking and the washing. Why is it, even if you wash things before you come back, there’s still a huge heap on the floor after you’ve unpacked! Then we had to pack a whole load of
Film night – April 2017 And a right fashion fail! Plus, it’s all about programming!
Another month, another film night. We showed The Good Lie, and I hesitate to say, starring Reese Witherspoon, as that’ll give you entirely the wrong impression as the film tells the story of four young Sudanese refugees and their life during and just after the Sudanese war (which started in
Film night – March 2017
This month’s film night was a great success. We showed the documentary, The Salt of the Earth to the largest audience this season.

Hello everyone, and a warm welcome to all, and especially those of you who dropped by and signed up after a mention on Tricia Cusden’s recent blog post on street style and her new hat. Yes, I do love hats and no need to spend gazillions on them! It’s great
Film night – December 2016
Hi everyone! Did you have a good Christmas Day? Sadly, I was a bit under the weather, as we say here. A combination of too much to do and a virus caught up with me. Reader, I ate nothing that day! But making up for it now, plus, as it’s
Film night outfit – November 2016
Hello everyone! Last Saturday we showed Brooklyn – what a lovely, nostalgic almost elegiac film. Mark Kermode called it a fairytale of New York and you couldn’t have had a more exquisite actor in Saoirse Ronan who is the sweet centre of this story of love, longing and identity. The
Film night outfit – October 2016
I can’t believe it – this is the 5th season of our film society. We showed a wonderful French film, La famile Belier, which is set in a village not far from Paris and is about a French farming family whose members are profoundly deaf, apart from their one daughter.
