St Hildegard

My sisters tell me that this movie is about to be released in this country.

The chances that it will play anywhere that I can get to are slim to none, but I am fascinated by St Hildegarde. (I highly recommend for your consideration anything Pope Benedict says about her and anything Emma Kirkby sings by her.)

Love her.

Not to mention her cookies. (My sister the pastry-baking whiz makes these at Christmas, but surely she could be persuaded to get out her measuring spoons a little early this year?)

The movie looks like... a film.

But com'on, would you just LURVE to see Hyacinth play the role?
