Grinchy

I collect picture programmes from the shows I have seen at the theatre. Such a lovely reminder, especially since all the shows I was seeing this year have been cancelled! 

Grinchy

Hey @Chloe_Scope, thats cool, my son is studying musical theatre, and has various programes from shows he has seen, it is a shame about all the various cancelled shows, we will be back to normal eventually i'm sure

Chloe_Alumni

That's amazing @Grinchy! I imagine that is really interesting to learn about.

@Grinchy your collection is incredibly impressive! I'm glad you enjoy it so much. You must forgive me though I have never watched the films! I keep meaning too, Sci-Fi is one of my favourite genres. I'm a definite Trekkie so worried I won't have room in my heart for Star Wars too. Which film should I watch first? I'll keep you posted on what I think when I see it. 

@chiarieds that day bed looks like heaven to me! All those books 

@66Mustang my dad loves single malt whiskey too! I recognise a lot of those brands. Have you been up to the Highlands to visit the distilleries? 

@Chloe_Scope I cant wait to start visiting theatres and watching shows. It's one of my top goals when its safe to go out again. What is your favourite programme/show? 

I've struggled with making my house a home through anxiety so I started picking up nice bits from places I've travelled to or visited as physical reminders of the good memories, for example, I have a little Troll sitting on a shelf from Norway which always makes me smile. I am doing up my spare room/office and in there I want to have a collection of pretty covered hardback versions of my favourite books. Little Women shall be my first purchase and take pride of place when all the decorating is done. I've grown to realise these physical items can have a  positive impact on my mental health so am embracing it

My favourite show would have to be Hamilton or Wicked! @alieshia what would yours be?

Grinchy

@Alishia glad you like the room, i would suggest watching the original three movies from the seventies and eighties, starting with star wars a new hope, those are what started it all and our my favourites, i love trek to! just working my way through next gen on bluray,

@Chloe_Scope I really want to see Wicked!

No I haven't but that's a trip I really want to make, along with visiting The Highland Chocolatier (look him up!)! Have you or your dad been to the distilleries and if so what are they like?

I collect sports memorbilla. I like US sports and English football. I collect cards equipment and Jeresys 

Grinchy

Hey @AvsNutWhalley, would love to see your collection, feel free to add any pics here

Grinchy

So i tidied around today and did some dusting, with most of the collection behind glass it doesn't get to bad, but still needs a clean

Ails

It all looks great, @grinchy!  Does it take you long to clean it all? 

Grinchy

Thanks @Ails, it takes a couple of hours, i don't mind, keeps me busy

Ails

Oh that's great!  You have done a fab job of it!  It reminds me that I really need to get around to clearing out my display cabinet and dusting it and all my ornaments.  Needs must!  

Grinchy

Thank you, i enjoy pottering around in my room, any excuse really, lol, good luck on cleaning your cabinet

Hey @Grinchy, I am a huge Star Wars fan, I wish I kept my stuff. You have a great collection there!

In terms of collecting, I collect old arcade game boards which I hook up to a TV. I also loved the original Star Wars arcade game made in 1983 by Atari, I am not sure if you have played or heard of it? Anyway while I don't have it yet I am looking to get this licensed replica at some point this year for my game collection.

Hey @M_Anthony glad to see another fan, glad you like the collection, your collection sounds interesting, i do indeed remember the original star wars game, many happy memories playing it, it was a brilliant game, i've seen the new arcade cabinet, not seen it available over here, hope you get one

Looks like there's a bit of a story going on in that bottom picture involving Darth Vader and the (lazy?) rebel trooper @Grinchy!
