Do you love ‘Outlander’? I am as they say #Outlanderobessed’! Well maybe that is a little strong but did you know that there is actually a hashtag for it!!! A relative latecomer to the whole thing, I was immediately swept up in the whole time travel idea. As a fan of historical fiction, I suppose it was always going to be a winner, for me, but it is just a fantastic story to read and watch and laden with glorious Scottish scenery and tartan fabrics ….. perfect for snuggling up with under a quilt on a winter’s day. After beginning Season 1 on amazon, I started to read the book and uncover this whole ‘Outlander’ world on the internet. I watched an interview with the author, Diana Gabaldon and was absolutely enthralled with her story of how she came to write these books. Did you know that her initial inspiration came from on old episode of Dr. Who from way way back when Patrick Troughton was the Doctor and his side kick was a guy in a kilt. I am always full of admiration for people who write beautifully crafted stories that so clearly have the most enormous amount of research behind the carefully placed words. Outlander seems exceptional in this respect. Its creator is both a scholarly, industrious and immensely talented and I have say, if I had the chance, she would be on the top of my wish list of people I should love to meet. At least two of my kids have had J K Rowling on the top of their lists for years and with the discovery of Diana Gabaldon, I understand.
