I saw the movie "Iris" when living in London a few years ago and it was excellent; found it interesting both from a literary perspective and professionally as an occupational therapist to see dementia depicted on screen.<br /><br />I was going to suggest like Cottage Garden, that same Persephone "A House in the Country" <br />which should be right up your street. <br /><br />Your blog is as alway so lovely, your interests and tastes are close to mine and sometimes it feels as if your were writing the blog just for me!
