I’ve been a HUGE fry and Laurie fan since before I met hubby (and we’ve been married over a quarter of a century…. OMG I’m so old!! lol) hubby jokes that Mr Fry (and Mr Rickman of course) are “my other men” LOL. I have scrapbooks, books of his newspaper articles, interviews, TV mag articles, etc etc, carefully clipped and pasted, going back over 30 years. I went to the book signing for his first novel, The Liar, and have only missed one signing up here since then (wasn’t well enough to go). He gave a talk in Glasgow a few (quite a few) years ago too where he talked for around 2 hours and then just mingled with everyone for over an hour afterwards. There was only maybe a hundred or so people there, I suppose he wouldn’t be able to do that now, it was before QI, and he’d be mobbed now :-( That makes me so sad, I’m glad he’s successful, he deserves every good thing possible in my book, but he probably can’t attend talks or whatever without it turning into a media circus now. If you get a chance to go to a book signing or anything similar, do go sweetheart, he really is just lovely, and just the sweetest person. Other than my books, one of my most prized possessions is a promotional photograph from “Peter’s friends” of Mr Fry with the beautiful Emma Thompson, which he signed for me.
