Well it may have been a holiday time for a lot of folks, but at Time Was it was a busy ol'time. On Saturday the first we were up before the crack of dawn to get down to Weston Super Mare and the Stars of Time convention at the Winter Gardens. A small but very well organised event, starring Colin Baker, Caroline Munro and Britt Ekland to mention a few.
There were plenty of people about in what was a family day out especially young kids. Doctor Who was the main theme as there were plenty of Daleks roaming around. Of course James Bond and Star Wars were well represented.
Despite the roadworks on the prom, the Winter Gardens were very easy to find despite the 200 mile journey through the middle of the night. We had a very successful day but extremely tiring day, not tiring enough though as we caught up with the Good Doctor and those Weeping Angels later that night. Not sure what happened to the sunny holiday weather that brought the crowds out, but on the way home we went through torrential downpours which made us feel even more tired than we were.
Sunday was very much a day of rest and recuperation as we needed to recharge our batteries, and at our age that takes some recharging, since on Sunday the 3rd we were at Burnley FC for a Star Wars day. Not quite May the Fourth Be With You, as the Third doesn't quite scan. Again it was a family day out, well organised by Neil again for a second year.
Plenty of screaming Jedi's fighting Stormtroopers and the like, or was that the little ones trying to get there parents to buy more and more action figures? Like Weston Super Mare the atmosphere was excellent and it all made for a very enjoyable and again busy day.
Back home and we were able to put our feet up, raise a glass and then hunt through an empty fridge for something to eat. At least we bought the wine on the way home, pity we didn't think about food as well.
