When I first started my blog, I posted that Dom is getting fit for the challenge of a lifetime; this year he’s climbing Mount Everest. You can check out that early post here.
What Dom doesn’t know is that I’ve secretly been approaching some of his heroes, asking them to send him a goodwill message.
Well I am completely overwhelmed! After getting several refusals, I thought my requests were completely futile. And then this! It’s highly appropriate that the first person to respond is the genius that is Brian Blessed. He has attempted to climb Everest three times, but sadly has never summited, but you have to admire the grit and determination of this great man.
“Follow your dream, Dom!” Brian Blessed

Uh hello? How cool is that???

Nice touch, Jane.
Who could forget Brian in Flash Gordon as the leader of the Hawk Men. Sorry to see he tried but did not succeed! But as he said, nils carborundum illegitimi, Dom.
Look forward to seeing your summit pictures 😎

Oh I love him! I first saw him in his tiny part as Kevin Costner’s dad in Prince of thieves and now watch him as grampy rabbit in Peppa pig with my toddler. He just seems the nicest man whenever he is interviewed with a brilliant sense of humour.
