Watching
It's London Film Festival time! So far, I have seen two wonderful films, both of which will be on general release over the next few months. A United Kingdom is based on the true story of a white woman from London who falls in love and marries Seretse Khama, a future King from Botswana, in the 1940s. It is warm and romantic and moving.
La La Land is my favourite film so far this year. A musical romance which is nostalgic for the Golden Age of Hollywood, yet somehow also contemporary and inventive, it is beautiful, dazzling, warm, funny and full of real chemistry between the leads Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone.

Seeing
Picasso Portraits at the National Portrait Gallery is a fascinating exhibition, showing the breadth of Picasso's genius. I particularly enjoyed a display of three portraits of three women, each using a completely different style to draw out their personalities and characteristics.
Reading
Where'd You Go Bernadette by Maria Semple was one of favourite books of recent years, so I am very much looking forward to getting stuck into her next novel, Today Will Be Different.
