Hello!
Christmas Markets are all around. I had a lovely time wandering round the
market in St Emilion. This year it was spread through the village and the sun
was shining too – it was as busy as a summer’s day!
Have a great week,
Best wishes
Helen

Men, Women and Children follows the story of a group of high
school teenagers and their parents as they attempt to navigate the many ways
the internet has changed their relationships, their communication, their self-image,
and their love lives. The film attempts to stare down social issues such as
video game culture, anorexia, infidelity, fame hunting, and the proliferation
of illicit material on the internet. As each character and each relationship is
tested, we are shown the variety of roads people choose - some tragic, some
hopeful - as it becomes clear that no one is immune to this enormous social
change that has come through our phones, our tablets, and our computers. Starring Kaitlyn Dever, Rosemarie DeWitt and
Ansel Elgort
