Today’s teaser post comes courtesy of Flat Richie. Or I should rather say – Flat Richie is donating to the Birthday Auctions. When Flat Richie returned to me in March this year, he came laden with gifts. As the last stop on the around-the-world tour, I was allowed to take three items from the package.…
The RA birthday auctions have always been kindly supported by fellow fans with creations of their own. In the past we have seen anything from jewelry, to plushies, to trinket boxes etc. This year’s fundraiser has attracted more hand-crafted donations than ever, and I am absolutely delighted to offer those wonderful and truly unique pieces…
The suggestion came up in the comments (thank you, Rachel) that some of the items in the auctions overlap with other fandoms. So, today’s spotlight teaser pre-RA birthday auctions is on a few items that might be of interest to fans from outside our own Armitage-centric community. In case this post does indeed reach someone…
It’s that time of year again! We are in the middle of summer, and it is only about four weeks until Mr Armitage’s birthday. The veterans among you know what is coming: In August I always organise a charity auction to raise funds that will be donated in Richard’s name on his birthday. This year…
Hello there! You probably think I have gone and done a runner with the money. Nope. I am still here. (And with plenty of packages arriving soon at those of you who have bought or won something in the fundraiser, you’d have my address anyway to send some law enforcement my way… Um, come to…

Good morning everybody. Have you opened the second door of the 2019 RAdvent CalendRA yet? I am having a busy day today. It’s annual invigilation season again. As you are reading this, I am overseeing exams – an annual gig that will this year take me to my old hunting grounds in the college I…
Good morning all. I let things go their way yesterday rather than start the customary Twitter barrage of updates and milestones. But now the time has come. We are basically half way through the fundraiser at this point, and after the first stats yesterday morning, I’d like to give you a little update on the…
Who would’ve thought that we have another auction fundraiser before the year is over? Well, there is a need, and therefore the latest collection of donated fan items will now be auctioned and sold – just in time for the holiday season. So the fact that you are reading this post now, means that we…
Are you ready? What you see in the gif is just a little teaser. There will be more items available. At the last count we will have a range of 26 offers on eBay and 47 sale items on Etsy. That’ll be a lot of copy and pasting for me tomorrow as I manage the…
