family on film


Snuck our early to see Romulus My Father at the Kino. Beautiful, sad, powerful film - a must see but be careful. You will get distracted by all the "I know that" locations. I was prepared for that and worked hard to stay with the story, but then - significant support character serves scones with jam and cream. "Thankyou Miss Collard"
OK who would she have been? Pulled out the remarkably well indexed family history. Miss Jane Stewart Collard b. 24 March 1879 d. 11 June 1967 was a good friend to Rai Gaita, along with her sister Mary McLean Lillie. My great grandfather's cousins.
