The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 254
Grow bags and watering cans! Another retro movie weekend is here and boy is it a beauty!
Ripping open the top of our little bag of brown, earthy growing gold.... we'll pick out the finest seeds in the pack to plunge down into the soft wet soil. Watering just the perfect amount and giving them all the sun our current weather can afford, we'll wait patiently for untold growing glory to begin. Within just a few weeks, we can see signs of the impending deliciousness which sends our excitement rising with every new shoot that appears. Will we have created vegetable magic? Or will we have nothing more than a few small lumps of starchy matter... only time will tell.
Have a happy retro weekend!

The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 253
Great balls of fire! It's time for another instalment of our weekly retro movie rundown and this one has got us pretty excited!
Preheating the oven to a toasty 180, we will begin our journey to soft, warm baking glory with some simple scales and ingredients. Turning some basic looking matter into something which will fill our home with a smell from our childhood and will produce one of the most simple pleasures we can create. Weighing, measuring, mixing and kneading our way to a perfect dough, we will slide our creation into the fiery food box. Awaiting for mystic food science to happen, will our bread be as soft, fluffy and scrumptious as we imagined? Only one way to find out!
Have a happy retro weekend!

The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 250
Sweet home Alabama! Another weekend is here which means...... time for our Retro Movie Rundown!!
Drilling, welding, stitching and gluing our way to soap box building glory, we find ourselves dragging our Frankenstein's monster like creation to the top of our nearest and biggest hill. Pausing for a moment to take one final look at our creation in all it's glory, we'll then launch our way down the course, hitting ramps and nailing corners as we go. Will we beat the pack or will we just beat our creation into more parts then we began with? Only time will tell. Chocks away!
Have a happy retro weekend!

The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 249
Crisps and dip at the ready! It's another retro movie filled weekend folks. Let's tuck in...
Like many of you retro movie lovers in the land, we spend a lot of our time waiting for a special delivery. Sometimes it's some classic retro 80s clothing, sometimes it's that new tap you're had to replace (exciting!), however sometimes, juuuust sometimes it's something a whole lot more amazing and wondiferous! When it arrives, you're so excited and relieved that you completely forget all the drama, heartache and frustration that came in the moments before. Being completely overwhelmed with emotions and joy at the sight of your shiny new thing and what it will mean. Some deliveries are good, some a great and some are simply the best things ever...
Have a happy retro weekend!

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.
