No Country for Old Men

Intense is not the word. I was hiding behind my scarf. It's a fantastic film, absolutely beautiful, but I found the lack of information a bit frustrating by the end. It's very matter-of-fact, and you don't feel you get to know the characters all that well. But then again they don't get to know each other all that well either. Javier Bardem is great in it, really unsettling in a grey area between cold efficiency and total psychopath.
No Country for Old Men

You haven't missed much...

Yes! I am back! No more bloggy neglect. (Promises promises...)

Anyway, quick run-down from New Year to Milk;
- bought a decent camera finally. Hooray!
- went to a very nice wedding. Ceremony at the beautiful Bhaktivedanta Manor, and afterwards a little tent in the garden.
- read Eating for England: The Delights and Eccentricities of the British at Table by Nigel Slater, which was nice, if a little repetetive in places, and made me very hungry for teacakes and scones, amongst other things...
- found some exciting milk (see post below)

Well I'm sure there's more but the list would definitely get less and less interesting so I'll leave it at that.

Happy-Cow Milk

I thought this new Calon Wen milk was a bit of a no-brainer. Happy cows, intelligent packaging, and a very cute cow drawing on the front. And if you weren't convinced then the ECO! ORGANIC! ETHICAL! RECYCLE! plastered all over it should sink in eventually. I'm feeling so smug now it's even stopped me moaning about free range chicken being sold out everywhere after all the scary TV that's been on lately. (Everyone's been buying free range eggs for ages! When did people stop associating eggs with chickens?)
