Drive-in or outdoor movie screenings aren’t common in the UK, I wish they were! I have never been to one (well, until now that is). I’ve only heard of one company that offers outdoor movie screenings and that’s Lunar Cinema. Lunar Cinema screen movies across the UK using pop up cinemas, so they’re not solely in one location and this weekend they were showing two movies near us. Grease on…

South Cerney Steam Rally 2016
The South Cerney steam rally or the Gloucestershire steam & vintage extravaganza as it’s now more commonly know, is a three day event at South Cerney Airfield and has been an annual event for the past 42 years. This year’s event took place on the 5th – 7th August. My family and I have gone to the event every year for as long as I can remember, it’s a fun…

London Film and Comic Con 2016
Last Friday Ryan, my parents and I left home at 5am and travelled to London for London Film and Comic Con! Which is one of the biggest conventions in the UK and one of my favourite events as they have a wide range of celebrity guests attending and unique dealers. We got to the venue at around 7am and there was already a queue forming; rumour has it some people…

Happy Birthday Dad! Celebrating with a Star Trek Cake
My dad’s birthday was on Tuesday, but as it was a ‘school night’ we decided to celebrate Saturday evening instead with a delicious Indian takeaway and movie night. His choice. We also went to the <a href=”https://chimmyville.co.uk/crudwell-strawberry-fayre/”>Crudwell Strawberry Fayre</a> during the day. Unfortunately my sister was working and couldn’t make it so we decided to do presents and cake Tuesday evening so we could all be there. We also had…

What to do with travel guides, pamphlets and brochures
If you’re like me you have dozens of travel guides, pamphlets and brochures cluttering up your house… Here’s some of mine… I’ve been storing them in a magazine rack with my small but growing collection of vinyls. I didn’t want to part with them as I do intend to visit all the places advertised in them at some point but I wanted them tidier and more easily accessible. My solution?…

Prophecy | Buffy the Vampire Slayer convention
Prophecy was this past weekend – a three day convention for Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, and my first convention by this organiser (Rouge Events) so I wasn’t sure what to expect. The main draw for me was meeting Alyson Hannigan but unfortunately she cancelled 3 weeks before the event. 🙁 I was gutted! As were many others who had purchased tickets to the convention. The company actually had…

Cirencester Patron’s Lunch
Today (Sunday 12th), the grounds of the Royal Agricultural University were transformed into a classic, British street party to celebrate the Queen’s 90th birthday. Mirroring the national ‘street party’ celebration taking place on the Mall in London. The driveway was lined with tables and decorated with bunting and balloons. The tables could be reserved, for a fee, which included a hamper, many people were also having picnis on the playing…

Swindon Film and Comic Con 2016
This past weekend was Swindon Film and Comic Con (not to be confused with Swind-Con that I went to earlier this year – different organisers) which was held at The Steam Museum, Swindon. See Mr. Stay Puft watching over things in the background? 😉 I love smaller conventions, they’re a lot quieter and tend to be more personal. This one was very well organised, the staff were knowledgeable and helpful,…

MCM Expo London 2016
Today (Saturday) was my first time attending MCM Expo London and it will probably be the last. Queuing to get in the venue, getting our tickets scanned and getting our wrist bands was flawless, couldn’t fault it but there were so many organisational errors once we got inside the venue! It nearly ruined the day. We booked tickets in advance, as they were selling out and likely to be none…
