Picture this, walking alongside a 15th century wall in a pretty country village, somewhere in Hampshire we stopped to enter a ticketed venue to watch Grease! After obtaining our drinks and blankets we settled down on a double beanbag and looked around at our venue. Blue and Red lights were casting shafts of light up the Great Barn wall to our right, in front of us a gigantic blow up black cinema screen and above the dark inky sky twinklng with stars. It was a clear night, which was great for the stars - we even identified the Plough, however, this meant that as the evening progressed it got colder and colder, but cuddling up under the blanket kept Russ and I warm along with the copious amounts of layers we had put on before walking to the event.

We sang along to the Grease movie, thinking how young everyone looked on the screen and remembering how young we were. When I first saw Grease I queued with school friends for hours to get in and watch the new picture show, how times have changed, not often you see such queues at the cinema nowadays!

What a great movie! and the emojis and embellishments dancing across the screen with the sing along words made it all the better! Fab!
