The June Something - Day Three
Jun. 3rd, 2021 12:16 pmDay 3: What's a favourite, or at least memorable fandom meeting/interaction that you've had?
Firstly, I've made friends with lots of people I'd never have known otherwise, which is great.
My main jumping off point (although that, given the fandom, is not necessarily the best phrase) came in the heady days of BBC Sherlock. Some people organised a picnic one summer in Regent's Park, and I went along, very unsure - I am old enough to be some of their mothers - but it was good fun and I made some friendships which continue to this day.
For a start, there's Vix, a violinist, whose parents live not that far from us, and whose music group Tewkesbury Camerata held three concerts a year (pre-covid) which we always went to when we could. My second to last theatre trip last year was with her and two of her friends to see Richard Armitage in Uncle Vanya.
Of the others there were a core group who I got to know and met up with them at various Sherlock meet-ups for a number of years. Eight of us went to Switzerland one May and visited the Reichenbach Falls, site of the original Conan Doyle's Holmes apparent death. I'm still in touch with many of them, and last year went up to London in early March to celebrate the birthday of two of them with a meal and going to see a play at the Globe Theatre. That was my last time in London and the last play I have seen.
