I'm so behind with the times!!!
I wanted to send (an extremely) belated message of congratulations to Guylty over at Guylty Pleasure who organises a birthday auction for RA every year. This year was a magnificent effort, and the amount raised for LORUS was terrific!!
Now, one of the items up for auction this year was donated by the man himself, Mr Armitage!! It was indeed .... Guy of Gisborne's jacket!!. Yes, GoG parted with that jacket!!
(Quick aside: Message to the new owner, (the mystery bidder), I loved your guest post, and I too had an elderly Mum in end of life care. )
Some years ago I wrote a number of blog posts about Sir Guy of Gisborne. Many fans back in the days of BBC Robin Hood simply adored him .... I was personally a Harry Kennedy kind of girl at the time, so I couldn't quite relate to the Guy gushing that went on back in the day. In an effort of pure altruism, you understand, I began an 'in depth' study of Sir Guy and the Search for the "Good Guy" (or GoG, as he was known to some of us), and quite frankly I had quite a lot of fun with the screen caps I made of him complete with the occasional speech bubble ... I sense he was a bit offended at my ... er.... apparent lack of admiration for him! Anyway, he was quite delighted at the result of the auction of his beloved jacket as you can see from the message he sent me ..
.... Anything you say, Sir Guy!!
BTW: Now you've given your best jacket away, what are you wearing??? Your trench coat?
