One of the best movies I've seen for a long time - for the family - is "Dan in real life" (starring Whatshisname from "Evan Almighty"). Also a very good fairytale "Stardust" (Robert de Niro, Michelle Pfeiffer and Clara Daines) is funny, swashbuckling and combines traditional fairytale elements with original ideas.
I read a very good book - "In Arabian Nights" by Tahir Shah. The author's father was Afghan, he lived in London and then moved to Morocco with his wife and two children. He bought a Caliph's house (written about in another book "The House of the Caliph"). He is a great storyteller.
I was trying out baking again, and used Ann-Marie's brandy tart recipe - which was lovely with dates etc - and found a good recipe for chocolate cupcakes which is quick and easy and works well.
At church it was amusing to watch the children take communion. I have to nudge my daughter to stop her licking out her glass and the boys munch down the wafer like a sandwich. It's wonderful.
