It starts when shes in southern Tuscany walking around in a small town. She comes across this notice about a villa named Bramasole thats for sale in Cortona. Bramasole in Italian means, to yearn for the sun, a bit of foreshadowing, for sure. Later in the day, Frances is riding along on a tour bus and a flock of sheep crossing the road brings the bus to a stop. While waiting for the sheep to mosey on across, Frances glances out the window and sees this below. Its the gatewall of Bramasole and amazingly the bus has stopped directly in front of it. Frances feels this is truly a sign so she decides to leave the tour. She gets off the bus and the adventure begins. I bet you can see where this is going. Heres how the house looks when Frances first sees it. It is overgrown and neglected, but still very beautiful. The house used in the filming of Under the Tuscan Sun is indeed a real villa, but it isnt the actual villa bought by the author, Frances Mayes.

Heres a view of Villa Laura at the time the movie was filmed there. And heres the actual villa, Bramasole, that the author, Frances Mayes owns and wrote about in her book, Under the Tuscan Sun. You can see photos of Villa Laura today at this site, HERE and you can even rent a room there if you are vacationing in the area. Sadly, it doesnt look very much like it did during the filming of the movie because it has gone through a complete renovation. Im sure it needed it but it still makes me a little sad to know its all renovated. Ill do a separate post sometime soon and show how Villa Laura looks today. In the meantime, heres an exterior view of it today. Back to the movieheres a view of the entry of Bramasole really Villa Laura in the movie. Frances realizes if she buys this house it will need a lot of work. Heres the living room of Bramasole in the movie. Notice how the rooms are dreary and kind of dark. This is a metaphor for how Frances is feeling after her divorce. As the movie progresses, the rooms become brighter and more sun filled. Once Frances buys her villa, she sits down outside to contemplate what she has done Then she gets busy cleaning out around her new home. I love these big old green, glass bottles. They remind me of the bottles in THIS post about bottle trees. Theres lots of cleaning to be done. Dont you love the soft colors on the walls I couldnt resist including this pic with the old dress form. I those and have one in my guest room. The furniture is left behind with the house and heres Frances cleaning her lovely wrought iron bed. Another view of this bedroom in the movie. Imagine only being able to heat by burning wood in heaters like this. During the renovation process, Frances decides she wants to open up a wall between two small rooms, creating one large room. Her workmen get busy chiseling out a wider opening between the two rooms. Things dont go quite as planned and the wall literally falls down, but fortunately it works out in the end. This was one of the funnier parts of the movie. Frances gets busy renovating a bathroom. And heres that tole chandelier I remembered. At one point a snake crawls into the villa through a window and a big search takes place to find him. Heres a little view of the kitchen in this old villa. We get a view of the old plate rack hereI wonder what that is behind Frances in this view. We cant see it very well. Do you think its a pizzabread baking oven built into the wall Or, maybe its just a fireplace. Fortunately, this beautiful villa comes with some gorgeous pieces, too. This chandelier is totally drool worthy. Caught In A Cabaret Movie Watch Online. A friend, Patti, played by Sandra Oh, comes to stay with Frances in Italy. Heres a view of the guest room with its pretty wrought iron bed I would hate to paint over these walls. I guess that is centuries old dirt mixed in with that wonderful soft blue paint.

The desk is beautiful, isnt it I love this scene from the movieit may be my favorite of an interior room. Another brief shot of Frances office. Council bans brainstorming and replaces the term with thought showers. By. Steve Doughty for the Daily Mail. Updated. 2. 3 4. BST, 2. June 2. Brainstorming has undoubtedly generated some bolts of brilliance and flashes of inspiration over the years. But in genteel Tunbridge Wells, the council decided it might lead to the traditionally Disgusted residents of the town becoming Offended as well. So now the expression brainstorming has been banned. And in future, meetings to generate new ideas will be referred to as thought showers. Tunbridge Wells Council has replaced brainstorming sessions with thought showersBrainstorming, first coined in the 1. And although since the 1. The National Society for Epilepsy said this was unlikely. It surveyed members three years ago to ask whether they found the phrase offensive. Spokesman Amanda Cleaver said The answer was a resounding No. It certainly wasnt deemed offensive at all. People thought it was a great word to describe the coming together and discussion of ideas. But diversity officers at Tunbridge Wells borough council are standing firm. Personnel chief Val Green said We take equality and diversity issues very seriously. It is important to us not to offend people and we are sorry if through trying to avoid this, we have indeed caused offence to the very people we were trying not to offend. If the epilepsy association finds the term perfectly acceptable, then we welcome this clarification. If however, the term does in fact offend even a small minority, we would encourage people to get in touch with us. Thought shower has already replaced brainstorming elsewhere including at Redbridge Education Business Partnership in East London, the Deanes School in Essex, and the Church of Englands Diocese of Southwark. But critics remained unenthusiastic. Richard Colwill, of the mental health charity Sane, said. Using brainstorming in the context of a council meeting I wouldnt imagine would cause offence. Of the thought shower, he added I dont think it will catch on.
