Well I'd be up for it.

Biggles I would LOVE TO!!

Everybody who went to Hay has been talking about letters and I've already had one from Rebecca ;)

I'm stills basking in a post-Hay glow but it's not helped my crush at all, it's just made it worse. Knowing those eyes have looked directly in mine...

I'm a mess!!

I know, I just finished writing up my diary entries today, can't believe it took me a week but I didn't want to forget anything!!  I know it may sound trite but my life feels different now, like it has a new purpose.  Not sure what it is but there's something just different going on!!

Glad you don't all think I'm being weird, I wasn't sure whether to say anything, but a week on I still feel inspired by what we heard and wondered about doing something about it!!  Thank you for not calling me mad!!   

It's a wonderful idea, I'd love to write some letters To make some friends, talk about Benedict and everything else, and maybe improve my English a bit? Sounds great!

I think Benedict would be happy to know about the impact his work had on you, clare. You don't sound ridiculous at all, he is inspiring and has an impact on a lot of people, me included. I'm sure he'd like the idea with letters, too

 

I've barely had time for any post Hay blues. I shall solemnly swear never to take time off work the week before a major meeting I play a key role in. This week was super crazy, and today is the first day I've had in two weeks that I have to myself. It feels good to breathe, even though it's 33 degrees out.

But enough ranting. I used to write multiple page letters when I was a teen, i.e. before the internet. I would love to take that up again. We could also do it simpler and write postcards for those who don't want to write so much.

That would be very interesting experience. Although I probably haven't written any letter in my entire life. But, I guess there is first time for everything

Hi Deb welcome!!! It was lovely to meet you too ;) and thank you I'm so glad you like my drawings! X

Yes I did meet him, albeit briefly, about 4pm on the Saturday! I've written an account of it on this thread, about page 12 I think! Scroll through and you should find it.

Id happily type it all again (still buzzing!) but I think I'll bore everyone else lol!

Sadly no signature, not this time anyway. He definitely would've stopped if he'd had the time, he apologised three times!! I was just so happy to get the reaction I did. It's spurred me right on to get my Turing art started ;)

Hiya Biggles86
I must admit I struggled a bit to work out how this 'Forum' thingy worked.  I am such a dinasaur.

I had such a lovely time last weekend, I look back now and can't quite believe it.  I just wish I had done more, stayed longer and then that I could do it all over again.
It was lovely to meet you all - kindred spirits are a gorgeous thing!  Instead of my daughter telling me "If it's about Benedict Cumberbatch I don't want to know" - sad times.....................Honestly, anyone would think i was besotted.

Roll on Hamlet x

Hi Biggles, I sent you a private message with my address - did you get it? X

It´s really lovely to read through this thread, I could feel all your excitement and joy and it´s wonderful that you got to make the experience of seeing Benedict live all together. I´m truly happy that you all had such a great, special and unique time.
I hope I will be able to attend a similar event one day and meet some of the nice fans here from this forum. Seeing your idol live is so much more fun when you have the right people with you, people who appreciate it in the same way.
And I would love to see some of your drawings, Clare, I´m new here and don´t know yet where to find them.
