Fan Memories of Una Stubbs Our Mrs.Hudson…

bluez

This blog is again overdue, my delay comes from working too much as always, but my feelings are still the same, so much heartbreak from losing such a kindhearted and talented soul. To continue from last week, I once again share the feelings of my fellow fans, some favorite art, and cosplay. Art above by a personal favorite bluezest.
 
 
Teri White Meeting and having the chance to chat with Una was wonderful at SHERLOCKED in Birmingham. Every role I have seen her in was a pleasure to watch.
 
Sophia RijsterborghShe was a real badass as miss Hudson in Sherlock. A landlord of our Dreams and someone which we will miss greatly. The moment she passed away is the moment the world lost a great star, but may she shine brightly in the heavens above to give us some of her Kindness. Guts. Love. Humor. Talent. 
 
 
Unachris
Christine VolkerUna was a sheer delight to meet at Sherlocked.
 
 
lea
Lea FlemingNot only meeting her at Sherlocked but also having the honor of having a real conversation with her was so special. I dressed as her and she was so sweet, she said no one had cosplayed her before! She was my hero. (Lea dressed as Mrs. Hudson above).
 
 
MC
Mc HarrisShe is so beloved that minutes before I met her in Birmingham, her name had been the answer to the quiz program I was watching. As I was chatting with her I told her she was quite surprised. She will be greatly missed.
 
Leny Alcocer LopezI could only add that I admire her so much, and I recognize her magnificent work in the Sherlock series.
 
Cari
Cari DolcemascoloMy little Una story: A few years ago, at Sherlocked LA, she saw my husband helping me in my wheelchair. She let out her quintessential sweet squeal and had everyone around us literally stop. She told everyone who was around us that she just witnessed true love and everyone should seek such a beautiful relationship and if they didn’t have it to keep looking. She later hugged me during photo opportunities and thanked me for making her day. What a beautiful soul and talented actor she was. (In the picture, she let me lean on her a bit to stay standing ).
 

MrsHWe fans have also celebrated our love for Mrs. Hudson Una’s character through cosplay! Myself included, the photos above and below were taken during Sherlocked 2018! My dear friend Lea has dressed as our favorite housekeeper many times as well.  -Rosemary

Sherlock Fans Remember Una

It’s with a heavy heart that I make this post today… London has fallen as we’ve lost our Mrs. Hudson, (Una Stubbs). This talented and kind hearted woman will always be remembered. We send prayers, love, and thoughts to her family and friends…

Now I share some of our personal photos with Una, from the Sherlocked events.  We love you Una, you’ll always be our Mrs. Hudson. 

Una was always interested in our fan projects during the Sherlocked Events. We’ve lost a dear heart and a friend… -Rose
My heart hurts. She was my hero. -Lea
Our deep felt condolences. I feel like we’ve all lost a friend. -MC
We had her holding a pair of children’s handcuffs. She was such a dear, wonderful lady. I feel as if I lost a friend.  -Rhonna

I’ll be sharing more blogs celebrating the life of Una Stubbs soon. -Rose (Blogger)

As always I’ve been extremely slow here… Because of that, I’m going to cancel any Sherlock Meet-Ups I had planned for this year. Instead, I plan to focus more on getting in touch with my fellow fans online again. Then maybe plan some London trips in the future! London Comic Con has mentioned our coming back with a fan table, something I’d love to look into for next year! 
 
I’m also planning to do more spotlights, something I’ve been lacking in… For those interested, I also have a few badges with pins left over from last year. Those interested, leave a comment below or message me if you know me personally.  -Rose aka Blogger

Sherlock Throwbacks: POSTCARDS

While I continue to play catch up, I’ll be sharing some of my favorite blogs! Starting out with this fun interview titled POSTCARDS! Thanks to mydogwatson for this fun opportunity so long ago! Enjoy! -Rose aka Blogger

So I’ve done Blogs on collecting, art and cosplay! But I’ve done nothing on my favorite part of the Sherlock verse yet, and that’s the fan-fiction! I love reading fan stories! My favorite stories, all come from a stack of Postcards! These Postcards are stories of John and Sherlock, posted by my friend mydogwatson! She’s brilliant! Why are they called Postcards? I’ll let mydogwatson tell you and then I’ll share some of her favorites!

– – –

Sherlock Fans: How long have you been writing Sherlock stories, and when were you first introduced to the series?

mydogwatson: I wrote a few Sherlock Holmes stories years ago, just for myself. With this show, I started writing between season one and season two. I watched the first episode the night it aired in the USA and was in love immediately.
