Don't you just LOVE this time of year? The sun actually looks like it's going to make a warmth worthy appearance and a tan is on the distant but visible horizon. Summer lovers unite, shake out their picnic rugs and prepare to spend your evenings outside.
One of my favourite memories from back home in Autralia (sun central) was an evening spent at the open air theatre in the Adelaide Botanical Gardens. With friends, wine in plastic cups, a warm evening and Shrek for company, we were in heaven. I never dreamed I'd be able to brave the elements in London. I was wrong.
Every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday throughout June free cult movies will be screened at The Scoop. It may not be the leafy green surroundings of a botanical garden but there's a certain charm about an informal open-air ampitheatre on the south bank of the Thames. The London Bridge and Tower Bridge are a backdrop to remember. And did I mention... it's FREE?!
The movies are classics. Think Brief Encounter, Chinatown, Moulin Rouge, Some Like it Hot, The Wicker Man, Cabaret, Dr StrangeLove and Alien. Shrek baby - eat your heart out. You don't need to book but be there by 9.15pm for a 9.30pm start.
Yep, outdoors is the place to be this month. Unless of course you're one of the snufflers on the tube suffering from hayfever...
