My Five Favourite Valentine’s Films

February 10, 2017 by Helena Halme Leave a Comment

I think watching a film at home together is one of the most romantic things to do. With a glass or two of bubbly, some tasty nibbles (or even nibbling each other …), it makes for a wonderful Valentine’s evening in my book. I think it’s even better if your partner has chosen a classic film that he or … [Read more...]

My new life starts here…

August 22, 2015 by Helena Halme 2 Comments

The lovely flowers and card with beautiful messages, which I was given by my colleagues yesterday. Today is the first day of the rest of my life. That's such a cliche, I know, but this expression describes so accurately how I'm feeling today.

Headhunters DVD

August 27, 2012 by Helena Halme Leave a Comment

I enjoyed the book Headhunters by Jo Nesbo much more than this Norwegian author's other titles, which include the debauched (and a little tiresome) detective, Harry Hole. Headhunters is a more grounded story set in 'normal' Oslo business world rather than in the murky Norwegian criminal underworld. … [Read more...]
