Bond, James Bond

James and I were invited to a private screening of the new James Bond movie, Spectre, on Monday evening. Forrest and Marjory were invited too so we all went together and had a really fun evening. Entering into the spirit of the evening, James and Forrest wore dinner suits and looked just like 007s, and Marjory and I were very glamorous - Marjory looked like a Bond girl whereas I was more like the old style Miss Moneypenny! When we got to the Grosvenor Cinema in Ashton Lane there was a sports car parked outside the cinema. I was particularly impressed that Marjory knew what make and model it was.* There was also a red carpet, which led us into the Lane Bar for complimentary drinks and canapés - lovely! We were then ushered through into the cinema, to the spacious and comfy Grosvenor seats. It was exciting watching the film at exactly the same time as the London Premiere, although in Ashton Lane there was not a celebrity in sight! 

I thought that the film was excellent; plenty of exotic locations and special effects. I like Daniel Craig as Bond and the French actress Lea Séydoux was very engaging as the beautiful but capable Dr Madeleine Swann. It was a worthy Bond film. 

* it was an Aston Martin DB9.
