Hot on the heels of JIB, I took a few weeks then headed onto the European continent once again, this time to lovely Deutschland, headed to Purgatory convention in Dusseldorf.

Unlike Jus in Bello, this time I had a low level pass with nothing beyond entry to the con included. Therefore all my extras had to be purchased separately. There were several wonderful guests at Purgatory, but because of the extras situation, I decided to concentrate on J2 themed extras. Bet you're all shocked at that!!

I had a J2 with Impala photo, which was a first for me, and that devolved into hilarity because I was looking somewhere - who knows where - but it certainly wasn't at the photographer who I completely missed because she was standing amongst a group of people! The plus side of this is I got a wonderful head-thrown-back laugh from Jensen captured for posterity on my photo!

Following on from yesterday's post, after we took the train down from Florence to Rome, and made our way to the all too familiar Fumicino Airport Hilton hotel, it was late afternoon, so we had time to get into our rooms, freshen up and then go downstairs to register for the con. During that time, we met up with our other partners in crime, including

amberdreams,

heavenli24,

stellamira and

dean_hugs_sammy.

After registration, we all headed into the hotel bar for dinner and a much needed catch up.

As you can see, I'm very excited about finally being registered :D

Last week was Jus in Bello con (more on that later), however, before the convention, I,

herminekurotowa, and our non-Lj friends, Wendy and Stephanie spent a few days in lovely Florence.

With places like the Uffizi and the Galleria del'accedemia, Florence is a bit of a Mecca for an art geek like me, so to say I was excited was understatement of the year!

We started off the week with visits to a couple of Florence's many beautiful churches and basilicas. The main one was the Duomo which was spectacular from the outside.

It's five years today since we lost

jj1564 (June), and I can't believe how we're suddenly here five years on. I've been thinking about her a lot today, and raised a glass to her earlier.

This might be a nice opportunity to hop on over to her journal and comment or visit her AO3 page and read one of her fics, leave a kudos!

We all have our favourite memories of June, and this is one of mine. When I bought Jensen for June's birthday one year, and he became quite a fixture in her life. She loved to torture Sam, and her sister, Brenda by leaving him in unexpected places around the house. Screams upon stepping out of the bathroom was a regular occurrence in June's house! XD

Speaking of Sam, he shared the below picture on June's memorial Facebook page earlier today, and I'm sure he won't mind me sharing it here, because it sums up our darling June better than any words I could ever use!!

This is a day late because for some reason I couldn't post on here yesterday!!

It's international women's day, and I want to take this moment to give thanks to the many amazing, strong and inspirational women that are part of my life. Not just the ones I know in person, but those of you that live in my laptop too.

Thank you for being my friend, thank you for being part of my life, and thank you for being awesome!

💜🤍💚

Here are just some of the fabulous women I am proud to call friends - there are many more:

This afternoon I received an unexpected parcel which contained lots of lovely bunny goodies and a Supernatural themed tote bag. It was such a lovely surprise! However, it had no note, or sender's address or any identifying information, so I have no idea who sent it! I really want to know who I can thank for this gift - it's such a sweet surprise - is anyone able to put me out of my suspense?

Please????

I woke up this morning to the sad news that

firesign10/

fireheart13 has passed away.

She was one for the first friends I made over on Lj and I will always remember her kindness and support to her friends throughout the years.

Rest in peace lovely lady x

Current Mood: contemplative

So it has to be said, November has been a funny old month!

It's getting to that time of year again, and I'm starting to think about Christmas cards.

I have my fandom list, and so if you're not on it and would like to be, please can you leave your proper posting name and address as a comment below (I've screened them), or DM me with the details. Same if your address has changed.

All my cards will be Spn themed and I will aim to send them out very early in December!

I couldn't let this auspicious occasion pass without paying tribute to our 'little show that could', the little show that enhanced my life in so many wonderful ways, and brought all of you into my world!

I can't believe it's been twenty years since Supernatural first aired, and it's a testament to the show, everyone involved with it, and the fandom that grew up around it, that it's still delighting people and gaining fans every day.

And I'm sure it's got absolutely nothing to do with these three gorgeous nutters!

I and several friends,

amberdreams,

heavenli24, Wendy, Natalie and Chris, sallied forth to London on Saturday to attend for the Love of Fantasy con at the Excel centre in London. It was a multi-fandom con with lots of Supernatural representation, but there was also a heavy Lord of the Rings presence too, and so I decided to take the opportuniity and do a spot of Lord of the Rings nerding.

Just a shout out to my lovely friend

borgmama1of5 of very kindly found me a copy of this and sent it all the way across the pond as a much appreciated gift to me!

Sitting in the garden reading - and enjoying - right now :)

My dear USA f-listies, I have a favour to ask.

On your travels, please would one of you be able to acquire me two copies of this: One for me, and one for my good friend, Wendy, in Belgium.

I've been on the order website and it seems to be out of stock.

Obviously I will pay you, for the magazines and all costs associated with packaging. Happy to pay upfront. I can pay via paypal or Wise.

I would loooove to get my hands on a copy of this.

Thank you so much !!

As you're aware, I had my birthday with this incredible crowd in Venice:

( Read more... )

It's been a fabulous few days, with a trip to Vencie which included me having a birthday there, then a train journey down to Rome for Jus in Bello convention.

I got back to the UK on Tuesday, and I'm still easing myself back into real life!

This post will focus on my Venice trip because i haven't scanned my JIB photos yet, and if I posted everything here, you'd probably die of old age before you finished reading it!
So a trip to Venice was exciting because I'd never been there before, and having a birthday in Venice was awesome. And having both of those things surrounded by great friends was priceless!

I was in Venice with

amberdreams

heavenli24

herminekurotowa Natalie, Chris, Ma Lou, Stephanie, Wendy, and Monica. We all arrived a different times and from different places, but by lunchtime on the 1st of April we were all reunited!

On 1st April, a trip to the Basilica San Marco and the Doges Palace was the order of thr day. I can honestly say, it's the first time in my life i've been in a torture chamber on my birthday but hey, life is full of surprises right??

While we were there I fell in love with these beauties!

And this is the Doges Palace - very understated, right?

Now that Christmas is over and done, and life is getting back to normal, it's time for me to say a big thank you to all you lovelies who made my Christmas so special.

I hope I haven't missed anyone, but If I have, it's not because I didn't appreciate your card, it's because I'm a menopausal woman with the attention span of a gnat!

And just for fun, here's a little Christmas triple drabble I wrote...

SPN100 Challenge: Decisions Decisions - Dizzojay - Supernatural (TV 2005) [Archive of Our Own]

Yesterday marked four years to the day that Supernatural, the special little show that made it's wonderful mark on my life in so many ways aired its final episode.

I thought I'd post today because today marks four years to the day that I watched that episode. I watched it with darling

jj1564.

20th November 2020 was the height of the second Covid lockdown in the UK, so when I said I watched it with June, we were both in our own homes on screen, watching the episode between us. We chatted, we laughed, and ultimately, we cried at the end of something so beautiful. But the fact that, four years on, most of the friends I met through the Supernatural fandom are still an important part of my life speaks volumes about how precious our show was to all of us.

Sadly, as you know we lost June in April 2021, and experiencing the end of our show with her makes it even more special and poignant.

Like many of us, I was devastated about the end of Supernatural. However, four years on, I know the joy and memories it brought me will never end.

This vision of loveliness was me ten minutes after the end of the episode, and i know for a fact I wasn't the only one!( Yikes! )
