Thank you, @TheSchoolOfLife, for this timely reminder of one of the saving graces of the inherent fallibility of memory 🙂 I shall definitely get the book. Happy New Year, one and all! #ReasonsToBeHopeful

And now that the World Cup is over, we can talk about WORDCUP - fantastic national youth project by @ApplesAndSnakes that makes a huge difference to young people facing serious financial, social & educational challenges - which needs a little helping hand: https://t.co/d4EIcerHkD

Magical reading of Gaspard's Christmas at St Peter's Church last Sat! You know a children's book is an instant classic when a room full of kids of all ages (incl. toddlers) settles in & falls silent, wide-eyed - plus proceeds help fight homelessness! By @zebsoanes @mrjamesmayhew

I was just walking down Snow Hill earlier this evening, when the sky tore open and the first flakes of the season gushed forth... It's bitterly cold, too- if you see anyone sleeping rough please contact StreetLink https://t.co/omJOId13rQ via their app or phone [phone] #uksnow

Fabulously, we have less than £200 left (which is then doubled) to raise £4000 in the next 13 hours to run drama and speech writing workshops in communities in England next year. Can you help us smash our target??? #BigGive @DASHARTS https://t.co/z1tXH2dYGN

@gbbrierley Oh Gareth, so sorry to hear this. It's a big, strange and hard rite of passage, death of a parent. Sending you all my love ❤️❤️❤️

[Jelena Curcic @SerbianFairy]

@AnneLouiseAvery So good to hear, Anne! Well done, sending you love and strength for the next stage❤️

[Jelena Curcic @SerbianFairy]

@SanderD001 Not on TV, no - some auteur cinema, perhaps, and only in some respects; but this is astonishing in its entirety, and in a league of its own, isn't it - I can't stop waxing lyrical about it!

[Jelena Curcic @SerbianFairy]

Move over every Western ever made. Emily Blunt, show 'em how it's done. 'The English'. Wow. Just, WOW. Superb, stunning storytelling of the right kind - every aspect of this production is phenomenal. This is why we need the BBC. And more female film & TV producers. #TheEnglish

[Jelena Curcic @SerbianFairy]

@StoryChet Agreed! The entire cast are fantastic, the screenplay so finely crafted (and telling the kind of Wild West story we should've heard a long time ago), the cinematography out of this world... Astonishing in its entirety, I'm completely enthralled!

[Jelena Curcic @SerbianFairy]

@kaikouramonkey I'm struggling to pick my fave moment between them. Plus the fact it's all framed in breathtaking landscape, cinematography alone makes me want to cry from the sheer beauty; and the justice it does to the land and ALL the people... Plus the music, the screenplay... A masterpiece

[Jelena Curcic @SerbianFairy]

@kaikouramonkey Couldn't agree more. I'm in complete awe - it needs to win all the awards, and be seen by audiences the world over. It's also quite possibly the greatest love story of all time; the chemistry between them is palpable. Chaske Spencer is my new crush. Can't wait to watch it again!!

[Jelena Curcic @SerbianFairy]

Made this short a few years back with a bunch of young people who were excluded from mainstream education, while teaching them how to work with what they have (in this case, a random collection of Lego pieces & minifigs and some play dough🙂) #ShakespeareSunday #Macbeth

[Jelena Curcic @SerbianFairy]

@mrjamesmayhew @zebsoanes This is exquisite, James! So beautiful, dynamic and cinematic, like a still from an animation - all the elements are in perfect interplay. I shall certainly get the book!
