...(throwing flowers onstage and loudly applauding!)<br />As the lights come up, and the Safety Curtain drops for the final time, after the last echos of the rapturous applause dies away in the vaulted ceiling of the theatre, we, your avid audience, sit quietly in our seats, taking in the reality... "It's over" said one, "Oh, goodness, it's finished!" said another. I just look again at the photos of the production in my brochure, and savour a few more moments before the theatre manager tells me I really must be going now...<br />But I can hardly believe that for 12 months you've kept us *so* entertained, but now the last curtain call has finished... Will we ever be so transfixed again? Will we see pictures of the much-expected wedding in St Petersburg which, at least, will satisfy us that all's well that ends well?<br /><br />Thank you, Bill, and all your team of friends for this wonderful adventure blog! I do, so, look forward to another, soon!<br />SquibzySquibzy / Richard Hubbardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09084038003395786706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041377480802719591.post-4020080052342907072013-01-16T01:00:07.791-06:002013-01-16T01:00:07.791-06:00WOW!

Bravo Bravo! Encore...(sound of thunderous clapping)<br />Bravo Bravo! Encore!<br /><br />A standing ovation for the cast and crew of this epic tale and especially for the creator and director. <br /><br />Thank you for the entertainment and the stimulation.<br />-RossRoss Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041377480802719591.post-20210769738229010282013-01-08T05:54:58.055-06:002013-01-08T05:54:58.055-06:00Expedition to Alexandrapour was a gratifying and f...Expedition to Alexandrapour was a gratifying and fun experience. It grew with time and as collections changed; (mine and others) <br /><br />Creating a captioned photo serial story using miniatures and narrative satisfied a personal goal to write an adventure story without writing a book. I'd like to write a book but time and circumstance elude me. ETA also offered an opportunity for personal growth and development.<br /><br />It also helped that multiple manufacturers often had similarly garbed personalities so Col. Lawford, Countess Alexandra and others could change poses and attitude.<br /><br />Your interest and support in the audience were vitally significant. Thank you sincerely for your remarks for the past eighteen months here and on TMP. <br /><br />As Juliet said to Romeo, "Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow."<br /><br />-----<br />What's next? <br /><br />General Pettygree's Surajistan Field Force has awakened and is on the march to The Secret Valley to engage the Tugs. <br /><br />The last posting was in October 2011. That story paused deferring to Expedition to Alexandrapour till now. <br /><br />Chapter 56: First Contact is nearly completed. We'll see you all again soon.<br /><br />I'm also pondering a next adventure story. Who knows?<br /> <br />Respectfully,<br />BillGalliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12258909398832285314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041377480802719591.post-3918964857697879062013-01-07T18:36:33.172-06:002013-01-07T18:36:33.172-06:00Thank you for sharing this wonderfully illustrated...Thank you for sharing this wonderfully illustrated and illustrious adventure serial with us!Fitz-Badgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15510866929782142007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041377480802719591.post-37333548025625260172013-01-07T06:39:06.700-06:002013-01-07T06:39:06.700-06:00Encore! encore!Encore! encore!Steve-the-Wargamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07077311120172727690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041377480802719591.post-57127762979108074492013-01-07T02:16:27.012-06:002013-01-07T02:16:27.012-06:00Bill, this has been a splendid tale of derring do ...Bill, this has been a splendid tale of derring do and romance. I appreciate the drawing of things to a close by this final post which rounds off so much of the story. I do like the great prehistoric beasts so much more than dinosaurs. If there is a wedding in St Petersburg will we get an invite to see the photographs?<br /><br />all the best,<br /><br />Stephen CaddyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041377480802719591.post-17463145053074819062013-01-07T00:41:46.367-06:002013-01-07T00:41:46.367-06:00Splendid photos and tale -huzzah!
