About Your Favorite Movie: Notting Hill
I watched Notting Hill when it was first released here in the UK in 1999, and I’ve watched it countless times since! I think it’s the combination of romance, comedy, drama, and quintessential Englishness that makes it my favorite movie – of course, the fabulous coupling of Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts shouldn’t go by unacknowledged! They are just incredible together…
Roberts play a US actress on a UK tour of her latest film release and literally bumps into Grant in Notting Hill market – minor chaos ensues that ends with Roberts spontaneously kissing Grant before she disappears onto the street. They are soon brought back together by means of a press circuit in which Grant pretends he is a reporter from Horse & Hound. The rest you will have to watch as tears of laughter and poignant moments abound, with the stellar supporting cast sprinkling their individual magic on our hapless hero and beautiful heroine.
The writer, Richard Curtis has been one of my favorite comedy writers ever since I started watching The Vicar of Dibley, a UK show that first aired in 1994 and starred the fabulous Dawn French. He also wrote Four Weddings and a Funeral, Love Actually, About Time & Yesterday, not to mention the screenplay for the unforgettable Bridget Jones’s Diary.
If your visitors love romance, humor, British scenery, quirks and foibles, Notting Hill comes highly recommended!
About the Book: Victoria & Violet
It should be a dream come true to serve the Queen of England…
When Violet Parker is told she will be Queen Victoria’s personal housemaid, she cannot believe her good fortune. She finally has the chance to escape her overbearing mother, a servant to the Duchess of Kent.
Violet hopes to explore who she is and what the world has to offer without her mother’s schemes overshadowing her every thought and action.
Then she meets James Greene, assistant to the queen’s chief political adviser, Lord Melbourne. From entirely different backgrounds and social class, Violet and James should have neither need nor desire to speak to one another, yet through their service, their paths cross and their lives merge—as do their feelings.
Only Victoria’s court is not always the place for romance, but rather secrets, scandals, and conspiracies…
