Great paw prints and tail wags! Another retro movie weekend is here and ready to spread its movie goodness all over the lands!
Picking up the lead from the designated hook, the excitement starts to build. Pulling on each boot, we're met with a cold and wet nose, excited whimpers and the sound of paws scampering around on the hard floor. Clipping the lead onto our super excited little ball of fur's lead, we'll open the door and begin our adventure into the wilderness.

Classic Retro Dads - Where are They Now?
As you maaaay or may not (perhaps!) or spotted, Father's Day 2017 edition is fast approaching and things here at Truffle Towers are starting to get pretty dad-tastic!
With loads of us franticly searching the shops and the cyberweb for the newest, coolest and most perfectest Father's Day Gifts in all the land to really spoil our old man this year, it's safe to say we've had the dad word spinning in our brains. Inspired by all the dad talk and goings on, we thought we would take some time to look back at some of our favourite dads (we've said dad to much already huh) from the big and small screens, see what they've been up to and perhaps find out where they are now.
Let's jump in!
Henry Jones Sr. (Sean Connery) - Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
Professor of medieval literature, expert on Grail lore, the father of archaeologist Indiana Jones, we're pretty sure most people will know and love Jones Sr. Somewhat of a .....difficult so and so, it's hard to imagine anyone other than professional Scotsman Sean Connery donning his trusty hat and snatching his faithful umbrella. Now, we're not saying him and Indie had the best father and son relationship to start with, but it's safe to say their adventures together sure bring them closer and all with a touch of whit and good old fashioned competition.
So, what's he be up to? Turns out.... A LOT! Starring in such films as (deep breath); The Hunt for Red October, Just Cause, The Rock, Entrapment, and Finding Forrester. Not bed eh! It's safe to say Sean has had a very fruitful career and is certainly more than a household name. Retired from the big screen, he is currently living in Kranidi, Greece where he can spend time with family and friends including fellow movie star Michael Caine.

Eddie Munster! It is the weekend!
So a brightly decorated corner of a of family living room, on top a three legged table, inside a neon lit gold fish bowl. Let us be your over active often forgetful pet goldfish while we merrily swim about in circles of retro movie mayhem. We'll hide in our underwater castle of cinematic greatness, before we end up on our back forever destined to be flushed away into the great abyss of celluloid wonder.
Have a happy retro weekend!

Skinny Pete and Badger too! It has to be the Weekend!
So, deep beneath the oceans swell amongst the blue and yellow angel fish who swim merrily among the coral and seaweed, where lies the wreckage of the old Hispaniola. Deep inside lurks a devilishly curious octopus who's made its self at home. Intriguingly let us be your bikini-shell clad mermaid as we search for shiny pearls of movie greatness, look under pebbles for retro cinematic awesomeness and chase orange and white clown fish for celluloid wonder.
Have a happy retro weekend! :-)
