Picture This.

Sorry, I let LJ get away from me for a while there! First I was avoiding Lost spoilers, then FlashForward spoilers, then I was sad about both shows ending and didn't feel like being online. And then I was doing Important Craft Stuff (which I will post in another entry). So, here is an update in the guise of a picspam.

Thank you so much! That photo of Merlin was taken in my room! :D The wood is actually my wardrobe, but I love the idea of panelling! I can see Merlin in a bow-tie ala Eleven!

The carvings are beautiful, aren't they? I think they're quite modern, they're all over the wood. Hold on, let me google. Unless it was something like this I can't find anything :(

Oh, you're right! Definitely Thornfield, you're completely right! My own village always reminds me of a Brontë novel, not a specific one, just one in general! Although there's a group of identical graves in the churchyard that makes me think of the Heathcliff/Cathy/Edgar scenario!

I still have the little square of red cloth to make the neckerchief! He's just growing out of his current collar, when I buy him a new one I will sew it! I'm very excited! :D

Ahh, honestly I don't deserve any congratulations, I was so very mardy (wow, so that's not even a word! My spellcheck flagged it up! Do you say it over there? I just looked it up online and it's apparently a Northern word!) every week on the way home in the car! I will pass your best wishes onto the hairy little gentleman though! Thank you!

Oh my goodness, why are you not a writer on Doctor Who? That would be the most amazing episode in history! I just had to read it aloud to my Mum! Wow! I'm imagining it in my head, just amazing.

Well, I'm on the edge of Yorkshire, so I could fib to you and tell you I live in Brontë Country! But I live on the border of South Yorkshire and I think Haworth is in North Yorkshire. I looked on a map (<-- I have no idea if that link will work!). But we do have plenty of moors around us, especially in the Peak District! We walked

Wait! Hold it! Haworth is in West Yorkshire! I should have listened to my Dad. My map reading is appalling!

You're pretty spot on with the definition of mardy. It means grumpy, surly, sulky, childish, easily upset. I just did some research and it looks although it actually originated here in the East Midlands! I had no idea, I just thought it was a general English colloquialism. Haha, another term for a similar state of mind is to say that someone has 'got the monk on.' I love that one! XD

Ahh, that's so sweet of you! If you did get around to writing it I would be very eager to read it! :D

That's so odd about the map! I had a feeling it wouldn't display correctly though. For me it was a map from my house to the Brontë parsonage!

Oh, Hareton. ♥
