The War Bride

I've been watching quite a few movies lately. I've been a little under the weather so watching movies helps. Even though when I'm perfectly healthy I watch lots of movies too...haha! The other day I watched The War Bride, a film from 2001. It takes place during WWII and is about an English woman who marries a Canadian soldier. She ends up moving to Canada to live with her new soldier hubby's family. Not only is this a great movie but it stars the ADORABLE Anna Friel, otherwise know as Chuck from Pushing Daisies. There's also a lovely parade of 1940's floral dresses. I'm actually tempted to watch this again today! 

I hope everyone is having a good week and maybe some of you are having some lovely spring weather! :o)

    i'm totally gonna rent that movie! Anna Friel was in 'The Land Girls' too, another lovely little war time film.

    Spring is very versatile here in the south of France! But we have almond tree blooming, that's the most important thing to me!
