#CARRIEFISHER REMEMBERING CARRIE : CHRISTMAS CHEQUES NOT IN THE POST ITS HERE! SPENDING XMAS WITH HELEN.

IT SEEMED, quite surreal back in 2016 posting a banner and news of Carrie Fisher's passing, and that feeling hasn't gone away, even today . . . FOUR years on.

TODAY, I am sure many Star Wars fans and lovers of Carrie's work will be feeling the same, sharing posts and photographs of a woman, who was never dull, touched all she met, was a mountain of energy and fun and yet sadly, like many of us, carried another life, that sometimes worked against her, making even the sunniest of days, dark and exhausting.

ON DECEMBER 27TH 2016, the day we lost CARRIE FISHER, the shock rippled around the world, and I am sure today, many will again feel that disbelief. Many here of course will know her connection to Peter Cushing, through the movie, STAR WARS. With Cushing playing the evil Tarkin and Carrie as the vulnerable Princess Leia, they together played a key scene, with Peter cranking up his performance, as the cruel and most Machiavellian of characters in the Star Wars universe. Carrie later shared how difficult it had been for her to find the motivation, to hate Peter's Tarkin. She too,like many before her, had been charmed and moved, by his kindness and manner on set, it was quite a task to actually say those lines.

EVEN THOUGH she left us a wonderful library of work on screen and on the page, it's a weird feeling, knowing, she isn't around to cheer us up and make us laugh in her interviews. As a teen she was my first crush, she dazzled and shone very brightly . . on screen and in life, a real Princess!😊We remember Carrie today . .. 

IT'S CHRISTMAS 1956 and this year along with Peter's traditional skilfully hand crafted Christmas card, Helen gets another one via the Midland Bank...with no doubt a Christmas cheque! The inscription reads, in Peter's hand : 'To my darling Helen from your most loving Peter' the envelope is inscribed 'For Darling Helen'...
