Took Simon and a friend to see Coraline 3D on Saturday; a great adaptation of a gothic book by Neil Gaiman. 3D technology is used intelligently to bring stop-motion style animation to life and sensibly avoiding cheap frights. The story unfolds slowly, building the expectation and shifting into Hitchcock-like suggestions that all is not as it seems.
Was it worth the hour and a half drive into Edinburgh with 35 minute traffic jam at Leith on a nearly empty tank ? Hmm.
In November 2004 we left our home of 14 years in Peebles, Scotland, in order to spend some time living in New Zealand, where I grew up. Four years later, in 2008, we have returned to Scotland, to build another new home. On the way we spent a few weeks discovering America. This blog followed our journey. Three months later I resumed posting, now about our re-entry to the old dispensation and the new places we are creating here.
Who's looking ?
