2024 - Good morning, Afternoon, Night

I like some of the allotment art. And there’s a lot going on in all the pictures.
I follow a couple of artists on FB. Only one has a website that I could find.

I met her last year at a friend’s wedding. She’s lovely and incredibly talented. Ive seen some of her work as the bride has some of her work. And it really is spectacular. I’m very tempted to get a commission of my boy done.

The other artist is a countryside sports & hunting artist. Again very talented

Wow! Impressive. I wish I could draw just a little,  let alone like that.

There's something going on where I live and its unsettling!
A couple of days ago the internet went down for most of the day.
Twice, since then I've been messaged by National Grid to say that they're doing planned maintenance in the area on Nov 1st (tomorrow) and I would receive a letter to confirm the details. Since I haven't had a letter I rang them this morning to find out when the power would be switched off. Eventually they rang back to say it wasn't tomorrow but Monday, 3rd November and there would be a letter to confirm this. It was only after I ended the call that I realized that the 3rd November is Sunday - so I still don't know when the power is off!
I did have a letter this morning, however, to tell me that my little road would be closed to traffic on Nov 11th for filming to take place! Its a new BBC TV series "The Guest". https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/2024/b...lle-creevy

There'll be vehicles "driven at speed", camera positions within the road and a drone.
Should I wear my best clothes? Spend time in the front garden cutting the hedge? Walk the dogs up and down the road? Offer to sign autographs? Behave like the local village idiot and pull faces?

I think you should do all of those Veggie,  they won't know what it them.

You’ve got to put something in your front garden so we know which one is yours. A giant packet of seeds or something. I like a good thriller and I even recognise one of the actresses. She was in touchwood.

We are always having film crews on the island. This summer was a big Netflix production filmed all over the place and one of our neighbours was an extra. Last week there was advertising photo shoot going on at the end of our road.

I forgot to mention the Final Straw!! I was pegging out the washing in the log store as it looked like rain. The dogs were showing some interest in a pile of logs, then Spud emerged and plonked a dead rat at my feet!! Spud is a little killing machine. He came in one evening and put a rat's head on the chair beside me. Real Halloween horror stuff .

You'll know my garden - its the only one with an uncut hedge and a wild grass verge on the road side. Everyone else mows their's. The next-door house up the road has a brick wall with stone balls on pillars and troughs of flowers on the railings - apart from tonight when there's a "ghost" on the railings and some pumpkins on the drive. I think they'll be gone by next week though.

Park your car in the drive and tell what colour it is so we can identify you. All your ideas are good too, maybe they'll want you to be an extra. Also look out for the catering van, you could muscle in on some free food. A film company pitched up in the lane outside my mum's, they were filming Portrait of a Lady in the quaint church opposite, the food we blagged was brilliant. The fake snow not so much. We saw Nicole Kidman.

I've only seen a couple of film sets the first was in Ashover someone said it was Peak Practice. The roads were closed so we pushed our cycles to get a bit closer. 

Next was at Matlock filming a local man Richard Thoday riding his Penny farthing.

I was walking in the woods, some years ago, and it was very foggy in the trees, whilst the sun had been shining when I left home. The closer I drew to the field at the edge of the wood, the thicker the fog was, and there was a lot of shouting and banging. I emerged onto a film set, men in armour on horses, charging across the field, between brightly coloured tents. There were women cooking who knows what over campfires and a smoke machine, blowing smoke across the field where it drifted down into the wood.
I ducked back into the trees and watched for a while. It was fascinating. Think it was for Dr Who or Torchwood. They film a lot of those series in Cardiff.
