Return to Roanoke

Hello again!

Yesterday, Bertie, Jenna and I went back to West Stow Anglo-Saxon village for a second recce.
The first time was merely to scout the location, but this time was to look more at possible shots, and to see what we would have to avoid seeing (a big metal fence for example!).

We left Bertie and Jenna's flat in London at about 8am (I had arrived Friday night) and began our hour and a half journey in Bertie's car. The journey seemed fairly short due to a lot of surfing the internet on Bertie's new phone, on which he has unlimited internet!

We arrived at West Stow a few minutes before they opened at 10, and so had to wait outside until they let us in! We spent a good couple of hours at the village, covering each shot on the 'shoot in order' list Bertie had with him, and it seemed an even better location than the last time we visited for the settlement on Roanoke island!

After the recce we journeyed to Bury St. Edmunds where we met with Charlotte Hunter (Eleanor Dare) for lunch, before hitting the streets to put up posters advertising for extras (if you are local to the area and would like to join us at the start of December, please contact Jenna at extras4film@yahoo.co.uk) And we also came across a fantastic sweet shop and spent quite some time in there!

We finished our day by travelling back to London discussing our favorite moments in Friends (after Jenna woke up!), and Bertie's phone came in handy once more after a dispute over the lyrics in the title music! (In which, I was right by the way!)

So thats it! Unless Bertie or Jenna want to add anything to what I've said!
Below are some images of the day, and if anyone is interested in learning more about West Stow follow this link to their website.

Erm, I can't get the pictures to load at the moment, so I'll have to publish them at a later date!
Sorry to get your hopes up then dash them again in one foul swoop!
