Sir Christopher Frank Carandini Lee, 1922-2015

[strange_complex]

I was planning to write about my holiday to Romania today, but then I woke up after a much needed lie-in to the news that Christopher Lee had died, and the truth is it would probably never have occurred to me to want to go to Romania at all if it hadn't been for him. So I will write about him instead

That is a lovely obituary.

Thanks. I mean, obviously I would prefer not to have had to write it. :-( But thanks anyway.

We shall raise a glass of blood tonic to him at the weekend.

[strange_complex]

We certainly shall!

::hugs:: What a lovely obit. :)

I think a rewatch of The Wicker Man is in order-- we should coordinate & livetweet as a tribute to him.

[strange_complex]

That would be fab - though I guess slightly tricky to arrange given time differences. A day on which we're both not working, so have more flexibility, would probably be best, although I'm already busy most of this coming weekend. Any ideas??

I'm free basically whenever, so we can arrange around your schedule. I'm 8 hours behind you but tend to sleep at weird hours anyway.

That is a lovely tribute.

Really lovely tribute. Thanks for sharing your memories.
