Hi everyone. I am still travelling. Or travelling again. This time Northbound after a wonderful long weekend. After meeting Kate I had the pleasure of staying with Cramerry for two nights before moving on – finally – to the destination of the trip, my teacher trainee reunion. It was a great meet-up – and we…
Since we are discussing the whole issue of calling/describing ourselves as fans vs “well-wishers”, I would just like to quickly say that being a fan has benefits. My current trip includes meeting two (former) fans. Yep, fans may be intensely interested in a particular subject or artist. But in my experience they *do* have other…
First of all – thank you for the kind messages yesterday to my whiny post. Of course you are all right – memories will stay in my heart; things are just memory triggers… But your sweet comments really soothed the aching heart. Thank you! This weekend I am going on a little trip. I had…
For all who need it – including me. Sorting through my dad’s estate, reading, smiling, crying. I’d like to keep everything he ever touched because letting go feels like erasing his memory. Take care!
Good morning from the oven. I just read Esther’s blog about the hottest day in the Netherlands. Germany also had the hottest day on German records yesterday, with 40.5°C (105F) measured in a town in Western Germany. 😓 It wasn’t quite that hot where I am, but 35°C (95F) is definitely also not fun. Especially…
Just a day ago I was joking on Twitter with the usual suspects about Armitage and biscuits. And then this: Double yummy, right? Richard Armitage, observed by a gaggle of bikkies. Filming today in Stockport • Great for the town 🎩🙌 #netflix #local #series pic.twitter.com/NgEhOmtysf — Stop in Stockport (@stopinstockport) July 24, 2019 Apparently he…
If there’s nothing on, it’s time for a shrine post. In anticipation of the birthday auctions I have made a few shrines that are ready to auction. So it is time to show yet another one of them. It will probably be part of a Hobbit fan package… Aw, the dwarves… This tin was gifted to…
Just a short bit of news today – but important. Last week Flat Richie made it to Slovakia. He stopped by with Korina in Bratislava, and after an initial worry about where the parcel had gone to, the two were united. Korina has promised me pictures of what she chose, but she hasn’t yet had…
A week ago I received a little prompt from Armitagebesotted. “Are there photos of any other people in your special folder of the ‘best’ RA photos?” (Meaning, is there anyone else who is almost as special as him?) It’s an intriguing question. Unfortunately, it has a really boring answer. I’m exactly what it says on…
I’ve done some updating. The shrine section has got all the recent shrines now, too. And the badgers’ gallery also has been updated with Nordlicht’s images. Also, I enjoyed watching a tiny little interview with Richard from Sundance. (Leaving this in an embedded tweet – because it’ll take you straight to the bit with Richard…
