    Its going to be a busy summer :)

    I managed to get tickets to Wimbledon so heading to that for a day.
    20th of June to 3rd of July.. You can que up on the day. First 500 people will get tickets to center court and another 3000 are up for grabs.

    A couple of hours outside London is the Goodwood festival of speed. I managed to get on the team to help run it so free ticket for the weekend I went last year and it is a fantastic day out. F1 cars, Rally cars classic cars the lot. It really has a festival feel to it unlike a boring motor show.
    1st of July to 3rd July

    Its sold out but Munford & sons are having a concert in Hyde park ( if anyone has a spare ticket or two PM me ;)
    30th of June

    David Lynch double bill in Prince Charles Cinema next Tuesday - Wild At Heart (18:15) and Blue Velvet (20:50). I'd be up for it, but could probably only make Blue Velvet. Anyone?

    Unfortunately I'm missing this as I'm away, but +1 for the PCC (and for David Lynch). Love that place! Their Schwing-along with Wayne's World remains one of the funniest nights I've ever had in a cinema. And the Christmas double bill line-up also looks awesome (hello Muppet Christmas Carol and Die Hard!).

    I went to a Craftivist Collective meet up last night in South Bank, would love if anyone else wanted to join me? They were all stitching/sewing/embroidering except for me and another girl who were knittign and crocheting so we felt a bit on the outside, but it waas nice to meet friendly people (mostly girls, one boy!) and have a after work coffee..I think the next one is the 3rd Thursday in Feb, any takers, give me a PM.
    I'm keen to attend any crafty event thats on so don't be shy!

    I do actually like the sound of this, I’ve been meaning to get back into cross-stitch and I have an idea of something I’d like to make (can you just turn up with an existing project? Or does it have to be something activisty?)

    I think technically you should turn up with something activisty, but myself and another girl came with crochet and knitting, and weren't turned away! Almost everyone else had embroidery or cross stitch and there were little packs to buy as well if you wanted..I found a wee Christmas tree card (cross stitch) in WH Smith last week that I am going to bring as back up to the next one as I felt a bit bold (rebelling!) but I have been informed that IKNIT London also meet in the South Bank on different days and they encourage all types of crafters (which sounds more appealing to me).

    http://craftivist-collective.com/events/

    The Craftivist people were nice but there were about 6 out of the 15 or so there who were journalists/reviewers so I would prefer to chat to people who are there for the same reasons as me, random stuff as opposed to feeling like I was being interviewed...I am sure it will vary month to month tho..

    http://www.iknit.org.uk/knittinggroup.html

    Im well eager to go to anything Fishie once I know a little in advance!
