We may have to wait for winter to come and go before we get to see season seven but that doesn't mean that the 'Game of Thrones' machine has stopped.
While it was previously reported that production on the seventh season of the HBO show was delayed while they waited for the climate to get more wintry, it seems that things have already kicked off in Belfast with both production and cast spotted around the city.
'Game of Thrones' fan site WatchersOnTheWall.com have spotted what they claim ia the "regular pink GOT filming sign" around Titanic Studios where the show is filmed, and said that local sources reported that cars were being rerouted away from the studio this week to avoid causing noise disturbance while filming was going on.

Locals and non-locals have also been bumping into cast members left, right and centre in the last week too.

Meanwhile one fan managed to get a photo with the two Stark sisters, Maisie Williams and Sophie Turner, while they were out shopping in the city (not that they look too happy to have their downtime interrupted).
And 'The Mountain' himself, Hafthor Bjornsson is making no secret of his return, posing for photos and posting behind the scenes shots to Instagram.
He's not the only cast member sharing the fact that they're back, as Bran Stark himself admitted to being back too.
Amazing evening of illusions at @openhousefest. I've missed you Northern Ireland. @Aimee_P_R

So if you can't wait until next summer, you know where to go to try and get a sneak peek.
