Even a safe house should have a few holiday lights...hope they're not keeping him awake;)

Christmas is only two weeks away...we'd better visit a few Christmas Markets..

Then we can visit the lovely Longwood Gardens.  What could possibly be more beautiful than their conservatory during the Holiday season - unless it's The Nutcracker's Suite..stunning marriage of the two...

Thorin's Orcrist & Uhtred's Serpent-Breath + Shop 'Til You Drop Sat

Thorin’s Orcrist:

Uhtred’s Serpentbreath:
Excerpt from Bernard Cornwell’s Sword Song: “I touched the hilt of Serpent-Breath, my sword, then touched the amulet of Thor's hammer that hung around my neck. Kill them all, I prayed to Thor, kill them all but one. It must have been cold in that long night. Ice skimmed the dips in the fields where the river had flooded, but I do not remember the cold. I remember the anticipation. I touched Serpent-Breath continually and it seemed to me that she quivered. I sometimes thought that blade sang. It was a thin, half-heard song, a keening noise, the song of the blade wanting blood; the sword song. We waited and, afterwards, when it was all over, Ralla told me I had never stopped smiling.”

hmmm...deliberating Sue's suggestion of a snuggle suit with wiggle room or the following Santa Suit...we report you decide ;)

"if only in our dreams" - an RA clone in Santa's bag for one & all..see coupon at above link

Sit on Santa's lap: Please form an orderly queue ladies & bring your own DB & M ;)

Is it Richard in Your Opinion? (See poll & pix below of Hobbit cast/crew members) + Brits United Running Poll Asking Who is Sexiest Brit Alive(see link below) +Ted Hughes Given Place in Poet's Corner(listen to RA's reading of Hughes 'Song') + Two Hobbit Related Articles(see below links) + Yet Again..Waiting on Espe

UPDATE:  Much evidence was presented before the court including the fact James Nesbitt is 5'11" tall while RA is 6'2" tall - yet the man in blue shirt looks shorter than the former.  Case closed:)

Some speculation on Twitter that the following man wearing a blue shirt - talking with James Nesbitt - might be RA.  There's a second photo of the man as he walks away from the camera.  (IMO, he's not tall enough to be RA--posture isn't straight enough either)..how tall is Nesbitt?  I'm going to start a poll asking youropinion whether or not it is RA. 

An unexpected time traveller guest arrives for The Tudors Christmas festivities...

Who is the sexiest Brit alive asked the britsunited blog..currently RA has 94 votes to Henry Cavill's 102..latter is a hottie as well but doesn't sizzle on screen with nearly as much heat as..

HOBBIT NEWS: Thanks for the heads up to Musa-Fabo for the following:

Thanks to Sue for informing us "The poet Ted Hughes has been given a place in Poets Corner at Westminster Abbey."  Following is her fav RA reading of one of Mr Hughes poems - it's mine as well.  Must have recommended it to RA Twitter fans at least a doz times in the past 18mos and posted it here a number of times as well..

Sheesh!  FedoraLady has found the ultimate formula for exploding...err...ahem...causing us to be almost overcome by the vapors *blush*....

How did I miss this one until today?...might've been certain ethernet vibes keeping it at bay, but now that it's discovered..can't resist - with one important caveat.  The following is the song I've sent to my RL squeeze every year on our wedding anniversary -  He and RA share the title of *Simply the Best* in my heart. 

Bravo Angie! - it's another majestical match of music and man/men, which leaves me lost in alliteration heaven:)

@merilyn066 Many actors have photo approval. Which is why the process takes a while.

[R: really like this concept of photo approval, but hubby would never agree...it would take half the fun out of his life if he couldn't snap a pic or take a vid of me when I've just woken up or ravenously licking an ice cream cone as if I've not eaten for a week]

@merilyn066 Got some great shots of Mr. Armitage for later reports if he and the production give the thumbs up.
