But I also remember re-watching a film that I saw (and loved) in my twenties and couldn't believe that I was so totally unaware of its (now, to me, rather obvious and crass) subtext!<br />Oh yes, I had SUCH adventures in my imagination! :D Richard Goodehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06661201913648801812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-777075932400116766.post-89600269070898603832012-10-04T09:16:35.029+01:002012-10-04T09:16:35.029+01:00Oooh Canada!Even the last couple of years when we&...Oooh Canada!Even the last couple of years when we've had fairly significant snows, snow is still such a stranger here.

It is apt that one of the remaining things that has come out of our quest for space are those images of earth - a blue-green globe suspended among darkness and starlight - and the realisation that with each orbit of our sun we ARE on the most incredible voyage through space.Richard Goodehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06661201913648801812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-777075932400116766.post-11519689213735574892012-10-02T14:29:54.141+01:002012-10-02T14:29:54.141+01:00It is amazing how, as adults, we suddenly are able...It is amazing how, as adults, we suddenly are able to grasp the innuendos that escaped us as children. I witness that while watching movies with my kids when they were younger.
