I’m always fascinated by your posts- they provide such insight to topics I’ve previously only skimmed

That was a fun read! I read all of Hans Christian Anderson when I was quite young, and some of his stories are quite gory!

I've always thought that a little bit of horror does children good.

Geiger counters? I know what's coming next!

Thanks, Rebekah, for another very enjoyable Bush cutting. I didn't know there was a video to this song. I watched it before I read your explanation and was trying to figure out who the emcee character was. I figured it had to be someone with real significance for Kate. Lovely to know it was Lindsay Kemp, who is such a legend in her story.

I found the acted sections rather forced, but loved seeing the dancing with the music. And the song is so infectious. I just took a screen break before writing this comment and while waiting for the kettle to boil I had a bit of a pirouette around the living room. Look what you've done!

Haha amazing, that's the effect I was hoping to have ;) There's lots to enjoy in The Line, The Cross, and The Curve, but I agree the song is the best bit.

I love The Red Shoes. The art design that the ballet scene was based on is almost as stunning.

That is gorgeous, thank you so much for sharing! I’d love a coffee table book with all those it. Maybe I’ll print a couple out to decorate my room…
