Terence Stamp @ the BFI

-
I am such a fan of 60's films and Terence Stamp and was so pleased the BFI have done a whole season on the actor. I watched 'Far From The Madding Crowd' after reading the book and was hooked my Terence Stamp's total presence on screen as well as Julie Christie. As part of the BFI Season I saw 'Poor Cow' which is a really unknown film and I love the BFI for being able to show rare films you would never normally see. They had a small selection of scripts,costume and posters from Stamp's career, which i've put below,which I fully recommend seeing before it closes.whatson.bfi.org.uk/Online/terence-stamp
I read this great article with him in The Sunday Times Magazine where he has given up wheat and dairy since 1968! You can read it here if you subscribe. thetimes.co.uk/tto/magazine/article3758003.ece

Posters for 'Poor Cow' and 'Far From The Madding Crowd'. Two of my favourite films, I wish you could buy the original posters

The costume Terence Stamp wore as Sergeant Troy in 'Far From The Madding Crowd'- a real dream come true to see this, such a fan of him in the film

Poster for Terence Stamp Season at the BFI. A true imposing impression in a poster.

How are you coping with isolation? How are you coping with the threat of illness? How are you coping as a single-parent. My son is 'very high risk' due to Cystic Fibrosis and I have found it challenging to narrow down what this means to us while also nervous to write honestly about this time. Initially I was in blind panic mode. Nobody seemed to be taking this seriously, some children were taken out of school, others weren't, stockpiling was happening, antibac wipes/gel/spray prices skyrocketed, marathons were going ahead while others were closed down. I decided early on to take my son out of school a week before they closed. His condition means his lungs would be seriously affected by any respiratory infection, but the advice from the NHS was to bring him into clinic and continue life as usual. Instead, I kept us at home. I had to work from home. I worked from 5am-7am while he had breakfast and played, we spent the day inside with a trip out for exercise and to get fo...

Our resilience and strength as single parents can never be taken away

Very exciting moment for me, my writing piece for the wonderful single parent's charity Gingerbread, was published on their blog as part of National Storytelling Week. I am so proud of raising Henry alone as a single parent since he was 10 months old. We have had many highs and lows and I never forget what is important, his health and our happiness. Find the copy below and i'd love to know any comments or thoughts: Emily is a single mother to a nearly three-year-old son, Henry, who has cystic fibrosis. In 2017, they moved from London to Cornwall. Here, she writes about how freeing it has been for her to become a single parent. Becoming a single parent almost two years ago has been a defining moment in my life. This time of year can be very hard for me. It’s when I realised that life in our new flat was no different, the same empty words and behaviours unchanged, and that I was as alone as ever.  I lay in bed frequently in tears from confusion, isolation and pur...

Goodbye Baby, Hello Toddler

-
I didn't expect all this emotion. Selling all of Henry's baby things, crib, high chairs, buggy, sleepyhead pod....all these things I had bought with excitement, good memories being made, partners exicted for our new arrival, the hope that we would have lots more children and it all feels desperately sad now. How things have turned so bad in 2 and a half years, the unimagineable hardships I have had to face, the huge life changes, not only divorce but emotional abuse, violence, and my son being diagnosed with a life-limiting illness requiring much support and receiving none. I can't wait to have all this stuff gone. To make peace with the past and move on without the reminders. This comes at a time I also asked henry's father for extra help emotionally and financially, and to have it refused. It is incredibly sad to see someone who you once loved making the same mistakes over and over and to continue to treat me and Henry as non existant. Money ruins people.  But ho...
