Cinema Mix

Hi All

When I was child, I loved going to the cinema, the excitement hit me at the door, buying your treats, the Pearl & Dean intro and not forgetting the adverts. My favorite was Butterkist, Butterkist ra ra ra, Butterkist ra, ra, ra, ra! Hmm! Got slightly carried away there? Anyhoo. So I know what it is like when you go to the cinema with more than one other person especially those under the age of 16, they never want to share a large box of popcorn, they all want something different but want some of everyone else’s, huh?. By the time you pay for everything at the counter your thinking of how to take out a consolidated loan!


So after a recent trip to see Harry Potter with my nieces, I came up with a solution to all my problems. PB’s Cinema Mix! All you need is a pack of popcorn, jelly beans, and M&M’s you can use what type you like. I used three, chocolate, crispy and peanut.

Put your popcorn in a large bowl and add the sweets and lightly mix together if you mix too much then the heavy sweets will sink to the bottom. You can share in front of a home movie or make up individual paper bags to take the cinema (hopefully you don't go to one where they search your bag, for food which isn't theirs) I think I will take this to see the new Ryan Gosling and Steve Carrell Movie Crazy, Stupid, Love, click the link and check out the trailer.

Bye for now!

Something old

Hi All

Over the weekend I attended the Vintage Festival on the Southbank. I was really looking forward to going to this, as I had looked at the pictures online at last years event at Goodwood and I was able to get a cheap ticket which got me into the events going on in the Royal Festival Hall. Although the Festival was celebration of fashion and music over the last fifty years. The majority of people who attended were dressed in outfits form the 1940's - 1950's and 2011 which the latter part was the style I adopted, ahem, check out the piccies below:

I really enjoyed all the outdoor activities, the food stalls , the refurbished double decker buses and the vintage market you had to get to in a hidden part of the Southbank over a small foot bridge, it made it feel like a secret hide away full of treasures. I felt slightly disappointed when I went inside for the events in the Royal Festival Hall, although this had craft workshops, makeovers and a retro living room to listen to music. I felt the vintage retro feel was slightly lost. I had meet an old friend while I was there and they said the same thing, as they went to the one at Goodwood and they I felt they were completely transported back in time at that event. However over all it was a good day and I will definitely go again next year!

Bye for now!
