More apologies (this is getting old, isn't it?)

This site isn't dead. Neither am I. Just wanted to clarify that as it's been over five months since I last updated this place. I'm incredibly sorry about that, but I've just been really busy with work, home, and life in general.

Claire and I finally tied the knot in August, so that took a lot of planning and preparation, even though we didn't have a big wedding. We had a really wonderful day and are so happy. We've also continued work on renovating our home (an ongoing project now in its fourth year) and have both been working full-time. There hasn't been much actual "free time" in our lives, which is why the site has suffered. This past week I've been unwell and off work, so I planned to spend some time working on the site, but it just didn't happen as I felt too ill.

The site will be updated at some point. I have new photos, new information, new screencaps, new articles to add. I've made the tiniest of updates this morning and added two new affiliates:

Girly Grub Aromatherapies, which goes against our usual choice of affiliate (normally associated with the entertainment world), but this is a new business set up by my friend Sheri and she's trying to publicise it. All of her stuff is home-made and natural.

Love 'n' Lemons, an excellent fansite dedicated to actress Elaine Cassidy, who starred alongside Rachael in The Truth and was also one of the two leads in the Sarah Waters adaptation Fingersmith. Claire and I both love Elaine as well, so we're keen to promote Zeph's wonderful site. It puts ours to shame as it's so well maintained!

I'm hoping to re-design RS Online at some point, which will hopefully make it easier to update in the future. At the moment the inner workings of the site are complicated and messy, which makes the process of updating quite complicated and messy as well. I'd like to streamline it a bit and also re-vamp the actual site itself. I've had a few protests in the past when I've mentioned changing the design, and it's lovely that people like the current look of the site, but it's three years old next month (!!!) which is a very long time in the web design world. I think we need something a bit different.

So watch this space, but don't hold your breath for too long. ;) I'll get around to it eventually.

    You go, girl. We appreciate any and all time you and Claire put into this website. Great news about the affiliation with Love 'n Lemons…it's a great site, and lots of fun. Both you gasl and Zeph are amazingly talented with design and creativity.

    One idea: Love Claire's animation. Any plans for an animated Rachael or something along those lines…"Tipping the Velvet Ink?" I know…quite elaborate. Just throwin' it out there. :-)

    Feel better, Bonnie.

    Thanks for all you do Bonnie! I've been ill too - the flu is going around the planet. My cousins & friends in the UK are sick, friends here - I hope you feel better soon. Looking forward to your update. I understand about being too ill to do stuff - I've been like that online lately with my own blog and on facebook. Still haven't posted my trip pics … so I can't imagine with all you've got going on - getting things up to date on here. It will be lovely when it happens - but as Andi said, those few little tidbits (like the links etc. ) are fab. Take care and get better soon. Lucy

    love the website as I have become a recent fan…just to let you know, Rachael is going to have a supportive role in The Young Victoria. Waiting for USA release.
