Film
The Painted Veil
Based on a novel by W Somerset Maughan, The Painted Veil tries to capture the fragile, subtle tone of the book whilst depicting the wild landscape and desperation of a community in 1930s rural China ravaged by cholera. That said, it feels less than the some of its parts. Not entirely faithful to the book, the slightly wooden acting leaves me feeling detached and frustrated at the caricaturing of the political situation behind the plot. But it made for an escapist wind-down after a hectic and strenuous weekend, and for that we were grateful.

Personal
The last day
At 9pm last night we sealed the last box. So what do you do on your last day in town?
We have:
- Enjoyed a favourite walk
- Taken in the mood of an annual town event
- Had a last Sunday lunch
- Got sunburnt on the beach
There's one last thing to do as a resident of Woodbridge...
