Am i sad to be really excited that Ballet Shoes is on on Boxing Day?

[flatmouse]

Was sooo excited when looking through Christmas Radio Times to see this! Loved this book as a child - so hope (when she can read) DD can learn to appreciate it

I'm really looking frorward to this too and I hope I wil be back from my Mum's in time cos I'll never get any peace there to watch it. Will have to set the DVD recorder thingy

If you're sad, please can dd and I join you in Sadsville - we're so looking forward to it - we've even got our snacks planned!

Judd,am clearer now..was the kid acting in the (existing) Secret garden story then?

this is the only thing i want to watch over xmas too. still have my original copy - think i probably can't convince 5 year old to listen to me reading it though.

anyone stick it on a DVD for me???

[hopeful]

me too! i adored that book when i was younger. it's so wonderfully written, the characters are real, and i love the practicality of how they work bloody hard to put their respective talents to good use and make something of themselve. should be compuslory reading for every child, male or female.

can't wait to see what they've done with the adaptation but have a feeling dp might try to veto.

apple bough was the Sebastian one. Loved it.

Can i just attempt to amaze people that I haven't already told this

I work in the church hall where Swish of the Curtain is set - they recently repainted the door blue
