SO Today walking down to Godalming with George, he says that Cameron Diaz and Jude Law are filming in Godalming for the film "Holiday". Obviously you aren't going to believe that 2 of Hollywood's 'A' list stars will be filming in the little town where you go to college, but low-and-behold we walk to Church Street (as George wanted to go to Piggies for a sandwich) and see it all screened off. We have to walk around the other way to get to the shop and then wait. Eventually we are let through and see a snow covered, Christmas decorated street! A little surreal if you ask me! But anyway despite not seeing the stars (well I might of but wasn't sure as we were being whisked out and there were a lot of people around) it felt well cool to think a street you used alot during your college frees will be used in a film! Wicked!

This is what the Surrey Advertiser had to say in the paper:

HOLLYWOOD has arrived in Godalming as Jude Law and Cameron Diaz take a romantic stroll down a transformed Church Street.

The A-list stars have been working on romantic comedy The Holiday, which is also set to star Kate Winslet and Jack Black.

Adorned with Christmas decorations and filled with fake shops the usually quiet street has become quite a tourist attraction in the past few days.

The glamorous visitors, who were in the town all day Wednesday, were seen admiring the beamed buildings and chatting happily with shop owners. Church Street was transformed into the high street of nearby village Shere.

Shop fronts were turned into a butchers, complete with giant turkeys, a post office and chemist and a bakery. Godalming Station was used for filming on Tuesday evening.

The film company, Waveland Pictures, based at Shepperton Studios, provided security to keep the gathering crowds away from the set.

Local police officers were also on standby although unaffected shops continued to trade throughout.

Wintry scenes have also been filmed in the real village of Shere where a mock manor house has been built and the streets and parish church covered in fake snow. And Godalming will get its own covering of snow on Monday and Tuesday next week.

Delays in the filming schedule mean the stars, who were only due to be in the town on Tuesday and Wednesday this week, will return to Church Street to complete the scenes.

The film is directed by Nancy Meyers, whose previous credits include What Women Want and Something’s Gotta Give.

Cameron Diaz plays a woman with man trouble.
