Mia the Diva

So Amelia has decided to become a star. Not only is she a convincing actor, but she's also a talented director. To show off her skills, she and Matt decided to make a horror movie: Attack of Stitch. Here's a clip of the first days take. Note Amelia's great direction to Matt and her very convincing scream.



Of course being a star has kind of gone to her head, as you can see in this out take, just moments later.



It's tough being a diva. Especially when your parents (aka lackeys) don't give you exactly what you want, when you want it. Poor girl. Nobody understands her passion and vision.

Talking With Dad

Sorry about Amelia's crazy hair. This was just one morning when she and Matt were hanging out.

King's Troop, Royal Horse Artillery parade

Recently Amelia and I (Kate) had a chance to bid farewell to the King's Troop, in a parade on the St.John's Wood high street. The King's Troop has been headquartered in the 'Wood for 200 years. They've since been moved to Woolwich. It was during the day, so poor Matt had to work, but Amelia and I had a good time. We're going to miss the drills when they'd march down our street in full regalia. There was no better sight for my animal loving girl.

These women are called 'Pearl Ladies' and have been around since WW2, not sure what their function is. When I asked them, the answer wasn't any more clear. Apparently they show up at things like this and help create atmosphere. Or something. Google wasn't much help either. So if anyone knows...

And here are just a couple more pictures. Not too many, sorry!



We'll miss the troop, but we were glad we could sing traditional WW1 and WW2 songs to see them off!
