Obi-Wan Kenobi and Bridget Jones Hold Me Up!

Interesting way to get delayed on the way home - was held up by a film crew with a field-full of NASA-style technical vans filming a scene in a farmyard cottage near Ambleside. Turns out, when I asked the crew-member who'd asked me kindly to switch my engine off in case the cameras picked it up, that they're filming for 'Miss Potter'. Not a spin-off from 'Harry Potter' as I first thought, but a film about Beatrix Potter, authoress of the 'Peter Rabbit' books and involved in the 'National Trust' that is now part of the Lake District National Park.

I thought it was a local film-crew, although I did wonder about the amount of serious technology I saw in the location, and then found out when I got home it's filming with Renée Zellweger and Ewan McGregor!!! So, I'll be able to go the cinema and watch a scene (of 'Hilltop Farm', where Beatrix Potter lived, although it was actually 'Yewtree Farm' being used) in which my car engine is being quiet off-shot!!!
