Pass the smelling salts............

So over the next few days on UK TV we have Mr Tennant, Mr Armitage (see previous post) and blardy ALAN RICKMAN!!! - I'm all of a dither. Did you see The Song of Lunch this evening?? I swear that man could read the telephone directory and it would sound fabulous. Here's a link if you missed it.

I've mentioned this before on here, but just around the time the fantastic Truly, Madly, Deeply was released in 1991 we were lucky enough to go and see Alan Rickman play Hamlet. I had flu and sat two rows from the front sniffling throughout but it was absolutely magic - what a super star.

I must go and have a lie down now, I'm overcome :)

Have a great weekend.

    My days of swooning over pop stars and actors have long gone, but I do remember being in love with David Niven,!! I suspect he was a little before your time.
    I did see the program you mentioned advertised ,but hubby wanted to see New Tricks instead,so missed it.
    Just for the record-- Brian Jones--
    Who drowned in a swimming pool,was my boy friend,when I was 15 years old,before he joined The Rolling Stones.
    Have a good weekend.Carolyn.

    hehehe, I hope you recover soon - but I know what you mean with Mr AR - phwar! I love Truely Madly, but have to admit he was at his 'best' dressed all in black, swashing his buckle in Robin Hood. mwahaha!

    Alan Rickman - one of my faves! If you ever are in the area, and need a tour of Wentworth (allowing a full day as there is so much to see!!) then I can offer my services - I'll even buy you coffee and cake! I would love to do a post on flighty "Aunt Dolly" (my dads Aunt) but as some of my relatives rad my blog - I daren't. She was a right charachter. She had a perfect 1940's rolled hairstyle, rouged cheeks and ruby red lips - right up to her death. It is rumoured that her eldest child is the product of a liason with an American GI who was stationed at a camp nearby, and her affair with Lord Peter Fitzwilliam was no secret! Every other family member is so dull by comparison! xxx

    I agree, there is something about Alan Rickman, for an older man! I need someone to slap me with a wet hanky. I've just been watching the lovely Nicky Hayden in Moto GP! x

    Can you believe the word verification is nowsn, nearly spells swoon!

Well I"ve finally taken the plunge...................

After drooling over many blogs for months now I've decided to finally take the plunge, so here is my new dawn.
Hence the beautiful sunrise above as photographed by Mr Twiggy through our bedroom window. (I'm sure I'll be including a lot of his pics, hope he doesn't expect commision).

I love crafting and have ever since I was a little girl and spent hours playing with my mums button tin (which I've inherited) and amused my self by making dresses for my dollies - even though I'd cut their hair and given them green felt tip highlights. Punk Tiny Tears - I should have marketed this idea !!

Hope you enjoy my work as much as I've enjoyed others who are a daily inspiration to me.

I hope to share favourite blogs, books and anything and everything with you, so enough off my blithering on and watch this space...............................................
