Sugar and spice and all things nice! Another retro movie filled weekend is here and ready to woosh us off to far and distant lands. Hold onto your hats!
Packing up our trusty bag, we find ourselves zipping up and tucking away all the essentials of the day in preparation for the adventures ahead. Ticking off each item as we go, we'll soon be packed up and ready to rock as we begin our journey to the top of our local hiking spot. With our eyes eager to catch all the beauty spots and scenes that await us, we'll stride closer and closer to the peak as we briefly stop to catch our breath and take in the crisp air and natural wonder.

Holy sweet potato! It's only gone and been the weekend again!
Like a keen armature artists with a fresh new canvas and set of paints, we find ourselves with nothing but inspiration in front of us and a whole world of possibilities. Carefully selecting the right brush, the right colours and techniques, we'll create something which will capture our imagination and with each brush stroke become something more magnificent like a classic thriller slowly revealing its plot before our eyes. Taking pride of place on our wall, our creation will sit proud for all to see and aim to only inspire and encourage all future work to come.
Have a happy retro weekend.

Sit back and enjoy our 10 Things You (Probably) Didnât Know About⦠Star Trek!
1 - The late Leonard Nimoy is the only actor to appear in all 80s episodes (including the pilot!) of the original series. Legend!
2 - The actor who played "Scotty" James Doohan took part in D-Day during WW2....and was shot six times by 'friendly' fire! Although often covered, you can sometimes spot his missing finger which was a sad result of his wounds.
