On Tuesday we traveled to Dartmoor National Park where the sheep roam free, the roads are narrow, the turns are blind and the speed limit is 60 kph. I've never been on a moor and very much felt like Jane Eyre trekking in the rain. Does it always rain on the moors? Seems to in…
I'm back in the UK and have been sharing pictures of my adventure(s) via twitter. As it's raining today, I thought I'd take the time to share several more. My traveling companions and I arrived in Torquay on Friday and checked into this converted Victorian house for the duration of our stay in England. Torquay…
Happy 2019, everyone! And happy #Caturday. Having rescued a sweet little girl kitty this week, I have cats on the brain. Thus, I couldn't think of a better way to get back into the swing of things ... with Outlander Season 4 finale coming up and all ... than to do a fun little Top 10…
Outlander Episode 308: FIRST WIFE aired on Sunday, 5 November and the first thing I have to say is ... oh, the hair. Jamie's lustrous hair. It's back. I know aesthetics like hair should not be important, but Jamie's red mane is a defining element (as Diana Gabaldon writes about so much in the novels) of…
Outlander Episode 307: CRÈME DE MENTHE aired on Sunday, 29 October and, well, the honeymoon is already over. Now that Jamie and Claire have had oodles and oodles of anticipation sex, it's time to argue over childrearing. Twenty years ago, Jamie was very concerned about the dangers his wife and child would face without him. But…
Outlander Episode 306: A. MALCOM aired on Sunday, 22 October after a two-week, exhaustive for some, hiatus. Alas, Lord John Grey is no where to be seen, but two new(ish) characters are introduced – both adorable, adorable, adorable. Did I already say adorable? Fergus Fraser is all growed up now. Yes, ladies. You many fantasize, but try…
Outlander Episode 305: FREEDOM & WHISKY aired on Sunday, 8 October and ended with the cliffhanger of all cliffhangers. The only thing that could have made it better would have been a blue-eyed, reanimated dragon flying in over Edinburgh to set fire to the print shop while Jamie lay reposed on the floor ... or something…
Outlander Episode 304: OF LOST THINGS aired on Sunday, 1 October and introduces several new and exciting characters. David Berry returns as Lord John Grey. Yay! We can never have too much of him; I say. Here's hoping Ron & Co. add more Lord John to fill the wide gap left behind by the unfortunate demise of Frank…
Outlander Episode 303: ALL DEBTS PAID introduces my fav ... fav ... favorite character – the distinguished Lord John William Grey portrayed perfectly by Australian actor David Berry. Given that, I could not resist giving LJG his very own Top 20. Lord John Grey (for those few of you who do not know) has his own…
Outlander Episode 303: ALL DEBTS PAID aired on Sunday, 24 September, during which I was jet-setting to and fro and couldn't get myself in front of a laptop long enough to give Outlander its proper attention. But, I'm here now. No more traveling for a while. Man o man. I am pooped (and sick if anyone…
Outlander Episode 302: SURRENDER aired on Sunday, 17 September. What did y'all think of Jamie's hair? Did it get its own screen credit? I didn't happen to notice. Either way, I'm sure there is already a twitter account with more followers than mine by now. Ooh. Hope I didn't just piss off Jamie's hair. So, Jamie…
Outlander Episode 301: THE BATTLE JOINED aired on Sunday, 10 September after the Guinness Book of World Record's longest hiatus in the history of the world dating all the way back, back, back to the Triassic Period ... at least, that's what it felt like to us. The episode opens with a poignant bang and ends…
