The Richard Armitage Blog Reunion

Welcome one and all

to the Richard Armitage Blog Reunion!
*trumpets sound dramatically*

It's like a family reunion, for old RA blogging buddies and
ALL Richard Armitage fans... except without the matching t-shirts
or awkward uncles. (Hopefully. Ya never know- the
Sheriff of Nottingham could show up, so watch out!!!) 

It's a time for us to share what our Armi fam has been 

up to since last blogging (or commenting) and fill each other in
on our current RA faves and any other new interests.

{Or just dust off the ol' blogs and write whatever the hell we want.}
Check out #RABlogReunion on Twitter to keep posted.

Life has been strange lately with a global pandemic

affecting all of us in one way or another.

Hopefully this post finds you all healthy and happy and
looking forward to better things ahead. *hugs*

Speaking of strange...
it has been so long since I've blogged,
this site had to verify it was ME trying to log into
my own blog by sending me a code through email AND text.

Is that you, Nat???

The limerick-writer?  The stick-figure drawer?
The one who abandoned me to oogle over that damn Scottish

drama series and my dwarf nephew-turned-tricorn hat-wearer?

It is I, dear Richard and fellow Armitage pals!!!

For I have never truly left you...

*sentimental music swells in the background*

Um. I lost my train of thought in the midst of all my dramatics.

But speaking of trains...

I don't think a person ever really stops being a
Richard Armitage fan, no matter how active or not they

are on social media.  How do I know this?
BECAUSE THIS SCENE ALONE, folks!

I mean, the end.
Go ahead and applause.  I'll wait.

As for me, personally, I have been busy the past few years

taking care of my big family (I have a lot of kids. They're awesome!),
traveling with family and friends when I get the chance
(Hawaii, Houston, Phoenix, Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, DC, Austin, Denver),
leading an art program for elementary kids, being a book worm,
and watching ALL the period films I can.
(Still love a good costume drama.)

Richard Armitage favorites in my house:

*North & South, of course! 
It's like comfort food. I never get sick of it. Bring on the angst!

*Vicar of Dibley, which I watch every Christmas.

*The Hobbit Series. My oldest boys have watched it so

often over the years, it may have been played more than N&S.
We love Thorin (Richard was perfect for the role!) and

recently had a rewatch of the series while staying home
during this Covid-craziness. (Many family movie nights lately.)

My current RA viewing obsession:

*I just finished Season 1 of Berlin Station this week.
No spoilers, please!!!  I know I'm late to the game on this one,
but is has been fun catching up lately.

I have many thoughts on this show
and perhaps I'll write a review about it later. 

*My other current Richard fave is HIS INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT.

Love it!!! If you don't follow him, or haven't seen it yet,
click HERE. So cute, funny and a bit dorky.

My favorites are the childhood photo and a glimpse of him
wearing the old Gizzy costumes. He gets us.

New interests over the last few years:
Poldark, Outlander (more the books than the show, but I like both),
Victoria, Vikings, Call the Midwife, Miranda (funniest show ever!),
I also love the movies Brooklyn and A United Kingdom.
I just finished watching the World on Fire series.

I look forward to reading updates about all of you!
I've thought about many of my old RA buddies over the years

and especially recently while revisiting some of Richard's 

old work, like Sparkhouse. It led me back to this blog to find out

what my initial thoughts were. This blog is like a journal in a way.

(A rather goofy one.)  Thanks for visiting!

Just gonna leave this here because *swoon.*
