Richard Armitage decennial
We’re only a few weeks away from the ten-year anniversary of the first broadcast of North & South. While Richard Armitage had fans before then, that night in November 2004 lit the true explosion — the first time Armitage’s viewers crashed an electronic venue on his behalf and, a bit later, the birth of the expression “Armitage Army” to describe those fans. Here‘s the first public event I’ve seen announced. I’m sure there will be more.

Me + Richard Armitage 
There it is! My moment. The moment he shouted “Stephens!” Though it wasn’t 10 years ago for me, it’s the moment he not only came onto my radar, but overwhelmed all my senses and sent me on a very interesting new path in life. =)

That’s for sure … I think for a lot of people it was the tea scene … in the same episode.

The first time I “noticed” him was when they opened the door to Biblo’s. It wasn’t until I saw North and South 6 months later that I made the connection. John Thornton standing at the top of the stairs did it for me. He does know how to make an entrance.

Where has that time gone?? I remember I was doing the ironing as I do in front of a good drama. Not much ironing was done during that hour for the next 4 weeks! For me, like Margaret, it was when we first saw him in the mill. My ovaries exploded and that was it.
I have “met” and met some wonderful people and I am forever grateful to Mr A for enRICHing my life in so many ways.

I’m left wondering where the last 4.5 years have gone myself — I’ve only been around for half of this?
