As were Alec Rickman (swoon) and the comedian Mel Smith. We first noticed HG in The Remains of the Day. He had a minor role but was devastatingly handsome with slicked back hair as the son of Lord ? the Nazi leaning owner of the stately home. I am famous for my tenuous links to the truly Famous. Such as passing HG's former girlfriend Liz Hurley in the BA first class departure lounge (we were seeing people off!) a couple of years ago. She smiled so sweetly (she is actually stunning in real life) at said son who was proudly carrying his tiny niece in a baby sling. He managed not to faint.elegancemaisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10043236515999573762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5419860268577817026.post-58934855208890123622010-07-02T10:58:16.998+01:002010-07-02T10:58:16.998+01:00Hello Rose, welcome to the mad bad world of Blight...Hello Rose, welcome to the mad bad world of Blighty, where we party like no tomorrow till 9pm when we have a nice hot drink and go up to bed.

I...I found you via Mrs Trefusis- what fun this is!<br /><br />I adore Hugh Grant too and I think we'd be great friends- he seems like he doesn't give a hoot what people think and is terribly witty, sarcastic and erudite- all of which I love in a man and a drinking companion. <br /><br />I don't mind that he is in some terrible films because he is always good in them and very funny. Did you hear about the Morgans isn't great is it- but the bit with the bear is very funny- and you know, I like watching Hugh so I was entertained. I actually think he's really really good in About a Boy- I never fail to laugh at the dead duck, the closed eyes or the bits abotu units- and it's not the writing it's the delivery.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08459305021803770946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5419860268577817026.post-9604903667370326882010-07-02T09:45:43.973+01:002010-07-02T09:45:43.973+01:00Dear ladies, thank you all for your comments, so n...Dear ladies, thank you all for your comments, so nice to be back!<br />Elegance - Did your son go to St Pauls? is Hugh really not so posh? how devastating! I did notice in the Morgans film that his accent had got posher, perhaps for the American market? The fact that Hugh has a posh voice is possibly a giveaway of middle class origins, posh chaps these days talk like gangsta rappers or ex cons, I cite Eton school boys and Guy Richie as examples of this.<br />FF - you can tell Lulu I have an original Mitford, perfectly preserved (a friend of mine is a taxidermist) as a hatstand in my hallway, so there!<br />Mrs T - thank you for the meme, what is a meme? Tagging- is that to make sure I observe my curfew, am thrilled as thought only Young offenders got tagged?<br />Hostess - I think Hugh Grant would be a lot of fun, if I were Bridget Jones I would have stuck with him, not boring Colin Firth!<br />Louise - I have not had a welcome like that in years, thank you! If I left home for 3 months and trekked to the Amazon, on my return my boys' first words, without removing eyes from telly, would be "Can we have some crisps?"<br /><br />Anne-Marie - About a Boy is Hugh's best film, he actually gets to act and does really well; I also love Words and Music as he gets to strut his funky stuff!!<br />Sophie P - to make you miss it less, remember that most of the time it is either raining, about to rain or has just stopped raining; except when we have the wrong kind/wrong amount of snow which brings the entire country to a standstill and we all have a lovely time complaining about lack of grit to go on roads etc.<br /><br />Bye ladiesxxBlightyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17567627987700387034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5419860268577817026.post-22289553803076856312010-07-02T06:26:32.329+01:002010-07-02T06:26:32.329+01:00Gorgeous pics of a sunny England.

I particularly remember the puddings - based on Delia's homemade icecreams which were the height of fashion at the time. I don't think there were any posh handbag shops in those days though! And of course we didn't know then that a former pupil of my son's future school in Hammersmith would shortly become the famous floppy haired Hugh G (and therefore not quite as posh as he seems!)elegancemaisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10043236515999573762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5419860268577817026.post-48186832871680373662010-07-01T16:04:13.296+01:002010-07-01T16:04:13.296+01:00In America we think Hugh Grant IS King Henry the 9...In America we think Hugh Grant IS King Henry the 9th.LPChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18209861350905135093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5419860268577817026.post-14824073172970978782010-07-01T14:49:15.717+01:002010-07-01T14:49:15.717+01:00We never see upscale designer clobber in my corner...We never see upscale designer clobber in my corner of the colonies.
