Celeb spotting in Puerto Banus

We've just come back from a weekend in the well-known celeb haunt, Puerto Banus.

Harry and I tend to find ourselves celeb-spotting there whenever we get a chance. In previous years, we've bumped in to quite a few. This year, considering we were only there for the weekend, was certainly no exception.

Harry (who attends Greenfields School) met the ultra cool Ricardo Quaresma (below) and, being a Chelsea FC supporter, it made his day!

We also saw the publicist, Max Clifford (see below), and Harry shook hands with Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Jermaine Jenas.

Stuntman dives off viaduct in East Grinstead for Foyle's War

Andy Wareham, stuntman for Foyle's War, amazed residents of Garden Wood Road, East Grinstead today

Garden Wood Road was closed all day today for the filming of a scene for Foyle's War, a detective-drama series set in war-time Britain, starring Michael Kitchen (who was filming elsewhere unfortunately).

The crew spent the morning filming on top of the viaduct, then down below for the scene where Andy jumps off, and finally another scene in a field nearby.

The highlight was obviously Andy's jump scene, landing on a huge 'bouncy castle'. The set up took hours - all for a two-second shot! All went well; Andy lives to tell the tale and has proved himself to be very brave!

Andy Wareham who I notice from IMDB, is also in Terry Gilliam's movie The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. Damn, I wish I'd spoken to him about that, being, as I am, Terry Gilliam's #1 fan!
