Okay well it's a not so new. The Romoney cinema located where the library used to be behind Harberton Arts, originally opened in 1946.  It showed films on Thursday nights for a traveling cinema. Then became full time, seating 161 movie fans and showing the greats until October 1964 when it closed. Now all these years later there are plans to re open it for the people of Totnes to enjoy. Last week they opened  the space so people could come and share ideas and visions on how the cinema should be. When I went in there, the space looked incredible! So different from what it was before. Loads of people had given their ideas on what films they wanted to see, what food they want to eat and what they wanted from the space. The notice board was stuffed with suggestions and words of encouragement. It's a great idea and I am very excited to see how it works out. Personally I would like to see them supporting local film makers and showing interdependent shorts before the featur...

Hello, my name is Nadine. I'm 18 years old and from Germany. It's my third week in Totnes and I have just two weeks left. The first week i went to the Totnes Language School and there we talked about our favorite games in the primary school. I told the group about a game where two people get a rope around their legs and a third one skip. Then I got the chance to work in the Toyday shop. I went around the shop and saw the game: French Skipping. It's about 10 years ago that I played it... but maybe I should try it again one time.   Another toy I remember is a goki puzzle. My grandparents have a lot of these and I played with them when I was about 5 years old. I liked it a lot and Toyday sell some of the puzzles in their shop. You have 20 cubes and could make 6 pictures. So you decide which one and then start to find the right pieces. I remembered here my time when I was young and I think the time where we played together with other children was better than the tim...

What makes a good toy? Narrative? Interaction? The ability to promote imagination? The amount of flashing lights and noises it makes? The way it keeps the child entertained and focused for hours? Its interesting to think about. "Techno toys" in the form of apps etc have become very popular recently, the world is changing as technology becomes increasingly clever and advanced. However has the way children think changed? I remember having a Tamagotchi. Just like the one pictured. There was something so exciting about them they could go round to their friends for tea! and they died if you didn't look after them properly. They even pooped. Great! I wish I still had it, because now they are worth a small fortune. They kicked off the screen based games that are so popular today. But then you start to ask. Does this encourage children to use their imaginations less? The same amount of fun could still be had with a normal doll, teddy or puppet. They can also go rou...
