While this post is primarily about Armitage’s new Netflix limited series, I also want to say that I am missing you all, even though I haven’t been able somehow to get myself back into blogging (yet?). I am also still missing our blogging friend Servetus, who we lost in 2024… she made a big impact … Continue reading Missing You

Memories of Servetus
https://www.instagram.com/p/C64h7DJsdsM/?img_index=4 It’s still so hard to believe that Servetus is gone. This week I saw the pictures of RA in his pink evening jacket and thought how much Serv would have appreciated them. (He is looking very handsome, again!) It might even have lead to one of her famous “Places I would like to kiss … Continue reading Memories of Servetus
Saying Goodbye to a Fellow Blogger
It is with great sadness that I share the news that a well-respected fellow blogger and Armitage fan has died. Servetus, the blogger at Me + Richard Armitage for the last 14 years, succumbed to cancer in mid-April. I was privileged to have considered Serv a friend and will greatly miss her friendship, insight, knowledge, wit, … Continue reading Saying Goodbye to a Fellow Blogger
Back in My Happy Place
I'm back in Osoyoos, BC again, for my annual beach vacation. I've been so looking forward to taking a full break from work -- no projects to work on and most importantly... no emails! Just time to do whatever the day brings. I feel like I could probably just post the same pictures every year … Continue reading Back in My Happy Place
RA Bloggers’ Reunion
I wasn't blogging or even reading blogs when a lot of the #RABlogReunion participants were blogging, but I have really enjoyed reading some of the older posts when I come across them. And I am certainly looking forward to taking a blogging tour! It seems funny to call myself a "new" RA blogger, when I've … Continue reading RA Bloggers’ Reunion
Blog Year #2 (a.k.a. 2018)
Hard to believe I've been doing this blogging thing for over two years now, starting at the beginning of 2017. Sometimes it seems like I've always been doing it and sometimes I feel like a newbie, especially compared to some of the wonderful long-time bloggers out there. This blog has been my first experience putting … Continue reading Blog Year #2 (a.k.a. 2018)
Sights Seen and Voices Heard
The Fall weather can be perfect for enjoying the scenery outdoors. At the same time, there have been some interesting interactions with people (and creatures) around me. A recent conversation I had at a rugby park: Older man: "Is this boy's rugby?" Me: "Yes, it is." Older man: "Oh, well I just thought, because that … Continue reading Sights Seen and Voices Heard
Milestones: Life & Blogging
This past week, I reached two milestones, one in life and one in blogging. Life: My husband and I celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary this week. A lot has happened in that time --- job changes, moving across the country, three house purchases, two kids, family deaths and marriages. It hasn't always been what we've … Continue reading Milestones: Life & Blogging
Richard Armitage Fan A to Z: G to J
What a busy summer it's been, and now the rain has finally come! I just realized that it's been two months since I last posted about the RA Challenge! Before I get back to that, let me show you what I ordered from Etsy thanks to seeing them via Guylty's Weekly Roundup of Tumblr posts yesterday. Aren't they … Continue reading Richard Armitage Fan A to Z: G to J
It’s Not from the Birthday Candles!
Yes, it's birthday week in my household, as well as in Armitage-land. My husband's big day was on the weekend, and my younger son (much to his chagrin) shares a birthday with RA. But all of those many candles did not create the smoke that has been blanketing the province of British Columbia. The cause … Continue reading It’s Not from the Birthday Candles!
