Who's going to the Doctor Who Experience?

Its been too long. Sorry for not posting, I've had no time and I've been away for a few weeks on holiday. (Rubbish excuse).


Just a little post to update you on my whereabouts. A few weeks ago now, me and the boyfriend randomly decided to catch the train to Cardiff for a day of holiday shopping and Doctor Who spotting. Unfortunately, the Who crew were filming in the studio the day we were down. I was devastated as it was Karen and Arthur's last few days filming! 


So on the 20th July once again I'm heading to Cardiff for the Grand Re-Opening of the Doctor Who Experience! I'm very excited, I saw a glimpse of what is to come within the props section of the DW Convention, but this looks like its on a brand new scale! Of course I'm dragging the bf to some location stops on the way down Wales, can't wait :) Find out more about the Doctor Who Experience HERE 


Here's a few pics of my visit to Cardiff, the sun came out once again over the bay :) -

This is the toy part of the department store House of Fraser, where the episode with James Corden, Closing Time was filmed for Series 6.

The Bay in the sun :)

So, what else has happened in my life? Well, I now have Alfie, the newest member of the family, my little kitten. He's a bit of a handful but I love him all the same! I wanted to call him something Doctor Who related but the family wouldn't agree. (Although Alfie IS the name of James Cordens characters son in Closing Time) hehehe

I've also been away on holiday with my boyfriend for 2 weeks to Rhodes, it was the best holiday I've ever had, I never wanted to come home. Of course, I loaded my Ipod up with Doctor Who episodes for the flight, and I'm so glad I did because there was no in-flight entertainment. DW ensured the 4 hours fly by (literally)!!

I also bought these little beauties, which mixed with alcohol makes for an interesting game, which could go on for a loooooong time :) Generally the best cards are The Doctor, Amy, Rory and the Tardis, and you can kind of see it gets repetitive after a while of playing. 

Before I forget, what a pleasant surprise when my boyfriend realised that our hotel included a Doctor Who pinball machine! Yes, you heard correct! A DOCTOR-WHO-PINBALL-MACHINE! It was amazing, and for 1 Euro a game, you can't go wrong! Needless to say, I beat the boyfriend ;)

Here's a few snaps of my holiday, if you're interested take a peek :) -

 Thanks for reading

Amy and Rorys Home - Filming Location - Cardiff Bay

Hello!
Hope you are all well, just a quick post to let you know I am still here! Its crrrazy times in my household at the moment, deadlines are looming at University and I have, what feels like 100000000 things to do! I'm counting down the days until the 2nd May when my final assignment will be handed in! 
However, I have got lots to post in the near future, its just finding the time to do so, I won't let you down ;)
So I thought I'd use the small amount of time I have tonight to show you the other place I went to on the weekend of the Convention, Amy and Rorys House (Series 6 + Christmas Special). It was just around the corner from Cardiff Bay so it didn't take long to walk! Note the Tardis blue door and exterior... even the car parked outside is blue!

And a still from 'The God Complex' courtesy of the BBC:

 Here is the last few minutes of the series 6 episode 'The God Complex' to refresh your memories, where the Doctor leaves Amy and Rory. *Warning: tearjerker -

As well as this, I have uploaded one of my many videos to Youtube from the Official Doctor Who Convention last week. It features Matt Smith, Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill talking about their life before and after Doctor Who (and Matt & Arthur get a bit animated!!) 

Give it a watch if you're interested, the sounds a bit low so you may need to turn your speakers right up!

We're also expecting a new arrival to the family in a few weeks time... a baby kitten :) Its a little dark grey male but the family are finding it hard to agree on a name. I have suggested a few Doctor Who related names such as 'Rory' and 'Smithy' but its more than likely going to be called Alfie, which is cute also :) - (and is the name character Craigs son in Closing Time, hehe)
...If you have any suggestions feel free to let me know!

Blog to you soon, have a lovely weekend!
