Welcome!

Well it took a bit of faffing about but here I am. I being Phil Madyctt, Haverhill Echo film reviewer. Some of you may have seen my work in the Echo. Perhaps you've even watched a film on my recommendation - or thought I've sold a film short (it's hard when you have to be as concise as my space sometimes allows).
So as this is my first post I guess I should explain why I decided to start a blog. Obviously I like films and I wanted somewhere (else) to witter on about my latest viewings, but also - and most excitingly - work is at last starting on Haverhill's multiplex and so I thought it would be an opportune time to start to monitor it. I can see it now: Phil Madyctt - Haverhill documentarian! (or something).
You'll have to forgive me if my witterings and my pictures are a little less than enthralling to start with. I don't know much about building work but I imagine to a casual observer (and certainly to me) it won't look like much is happening to start with. But the bigger picture (ah ha!) my friends, that's what we need to remember. Look back in 100 years and my work will be very important. Ahem. I hope.
Okay, so here's the first picture. It's the first step on the long road to the town's own multiplex cinema. Ta da!
