2017 August

It was a very busy month August. I guess being part of the school summer holidays helps to make it that bit more busier, but we really didn't stop much at all......  From walks with the dog, car-boot, tenpin bowling, airshow, a tv show recording, fun days out and so much more...

Stranger Things 2 Character Posters

I'm a bit of a fan of Stranger Things being of that age that was the early 80's, all things Goonies, E.T. and Close Encounters of the Third Kind( I know this is more late 70's, but still me). Anyway loved the first season and so looking forward to what they can do with the second.  They have just released 12 character posters.

Lego Millennium Falcon

Well they have been dropping hints that something big was coming for the 1st of September and they were not wrong.....  With 7,541 pieces in total it's the biggest Lego model they have ever sold, but at £650 UK, I don't think it will be making its way to our house sadly.

Cosplay Finds August 2017

The last day of August, so a great time to look back at all the cosplay images I have found over this month. As always there are some amazing creations a fantastic takes on some characters. All images and rights are to the photographer and cosplayer, I don’t alter/crop out any detail or names in the images. As I see so many I can not link to all sites, but if you google search an image you will find the source. This is just me helping show off some amazing creations. So here's 30 images that I think are really good from this month's album, but there is a total of 116 in the August 2017 Cosplay Album .

Character posters for Marvel's Inhumans

New posters have been released for Marvel's Inhumans. I'm looking forward to seeing this new show and seeing where it fits in with the rest of their Universe.

Madame Tussauds Blackpool

Had a morning visit to  Madame Tussauds Blackpool this weekend. We haven't been in many years so thought it was would be good for an hour or so. Of course it's not on the scale of London's version, but was ok for a walk around and a few pictures. Some of the models are really good, Ed Sheeran, Barbara Windsor, Brian Cox, The Two Ronnies and Morecambe and Wise to name a few, but some of them, Cheryl, Sir David Frederick Attenborough, Lewis Hamilton and The Duchess of Cambridge I really struggled with.  Here are the images that I took while walking around.

Blackpool Airshow 2017

A little late posting the images I took at the weekend, but better late then never......  Blackpool Airshow was the venue for these. We have been before and enjoyed the show and as its a free, what's not to like. Last time we went the could all stand and sit on the beach, but this time the sea was in so it was a little crowded on the piers and beach front, but still very enjoyable.  The weather stayed nice with mostly clear skies and which made viewing the show much better. I think the pictures came out ok as I only had my little point and shoot Sony RX100 II which is over 5yrs old now.
