Prussian and Austrian Marches

March On!

Advantages: Wonderful scenery, very factual, cute penguins
Disadvantages: some sad moments

March of the Penguins is a film which I had been undecided about watching for quite some time. After finally buying it me and my hubby sat down last night to watch it. I was aware before the film began that it was more of a documentary but this did not bother me as I do occasionally like documentaries if they are on good subjects. The start of the film shows the amazing South Pole and the narration tells us that at one time people did live here as it was once a much warmer place before the land split and moved and subsequently became covered in ice. Morgan Freeman gives the narration to the documentary and he tells us of one tribe which has remained in the South Pole and how they are penguins. Firstly we meet the Emperor penguins, the males, which are by the sea feeding and all of they at the same time start out on a very long walk ...

Review of March Of The Penguins (DVD)

Do Not Underestimate Bon Marche.

Advantages: They cater for the mature woman and they also stock the larger sizes.
Disadvantages: None

Bon Marche have always been labelled as a clothing store that caters for the mature woman, I admit that I am mature but I will not admit to being dowdy or too far behind the times.

If I am looking for something extra special, maybe to wear to a wedding or a party then a visit to the city is on the cards but for everyday clothing Bon Marche has quite a lot to offer. The store itself is sparkling clean and given that I am a regular visitor I get a warm welcome from the staff. I also have a Bon Marche loyalty card which offers no points or financial gain but when the store has special offers and sales then you are one of the first to know, you also receive vouchers that will entitle you to a discount ...

Flashman on the March

Advantages: Flashman back to his best
Disadvantages: Is this the end?

Flashman on the March - George MacDonald Fraser There are some books you buy on a recommendation, some you buy on a whim and some you buy because they're by a favourite author. And then there are those that when you see them on the shelf or in an advertisement you immediately stop what you're doing and rush to the nearest bookshop to buy a copy. For me, finding out that there was a new Flashman novel coming off the presses was just one of these momentous occasions. The previous book (Flashman and the Tiger) had been a collection of three, shortish, stories and many fans took this as a sign that the well was dry and we'd seen all we were going to see of Flashman. This book knocks that idea for six and delivers a vintage Flashman tale. In the 1960's Fraser had an idea for a book. A keen student of history, both military ...
