Wonderful! Thanks for posting this awesome picture of you both 🙂
Aw lovely, what a great photo. Glad you managed to meet up and that the tour is going so well 🙂
Yes, thank you! 🙂
Absolutely great seeing you both together again!!!
Sweet!
Two beautiful people in that photo. Lovely photo.
A lovely photo indeed-but it really misses the tin mine on the cliff and a pasty in the hand-incidentally Robin any plans for a recipe for a pasty with your ‘take on it’? That really would be a ‘proper job!’
Wishing you safe journeys home and thanks for letting us follow your adventures in America.

I know you have had such an incredible book tour, but I bet this had to be the absolute highlight, fab photo.
Simply amazing grace! Nn wander we admire you so much…
You both look fabulous. The years have been very kind to both of you. I hope you hada wonderful time!
Nice pictures, thanks for showing!! Where’s Demelza (lol)?
Unfortunately she died….. from Pancreatic Cancer! 😥
Just terrific to see this photo! Hope there is more narrative regarding your visit forthcoming!
What a treat to see you together again! Thank you! Linda
Wow! If the story had been written differently, this might have been a picture of Ross and Elizabeth after all the hatchets had been buried . . . still hotties after all these years . . .your smiles say it all! Thanks for sharing the pictures.
Oh, I love this so much!
lovely!
I can imagine the conversation…..
“And who’s side will you be found on, Ross?”
“Not on the side of the gentry, you may be sure of that! I despair of my own class sometimes.”
Blessings to both of you.
And that could be the coast somewhere in Cornwall. Lovely to see that after all this time you are still friends.
Awesome–cue the theme music as the waves roll in!! What a treat for us, too! You prob’ly guessed we were all wishing to be a fly on the wall for this reunion!! Thanks for sharing!!
PS: Gene gave a wink & said he hopes Meredith wasn’t mad! 😉
Cheers & hugs!
“Eat your heart out, George!” might have occurred to me!
Great actor by the way and sadly missed R.I.P Ralph Bates.
Ahhh… so lovely! You both look just the same! Hoping you had a wonderful catch-up, it must have felt a bit strange. It still makes me go cold to think of how poor Elizabeth ended up…so it’s good to see Jill’s warm & happy smile!
OH how lovely, you both look wonderful, I just finished watching the first series again after 35 years. Just as good now as it ever was. God Bless and take care…..CA is lovely but well wish you were coming to New England this time. Boston would put out the welcome mat.
What a gorgeous backdrop. The photo was so meaningful. The circle of your life. Thank you.
A Great Poldark Farn….
How lovely to see you and Jill together! I enjoyed everyone in Poldark, especially the fine actor, Robin Ellis! Jill still has great beauty.
You will next be in the part of SF in which I grew up in the Haight/Ashbury. I lived there just before the area became famous in the sixties. I wish that I could come to have my copy of your book signed, but I now live about 300 miles north of SF. Oh, well! It is a disappointment for me.
I hope your engagement there in the Haight will be a great success for you.
In a few days I’m going to meet a long-lost friend from 35 years ago – by the sea in Australia on the other side of the Pacific – so your lovely post has made me feel all tingly! Thank you, Robin.

Where’s Valentine? LOL
Ha, I saw & spoke Valentine (the young adult Valentine)a few years ago in Holland (actor Richard Gibson aka Otto Flick!). Very nice man and we had some good laughs.His picture is here on the wall with the others of the cast of Allo Allo.
Great photo. Have recently been watching the Poldark series on DVD – can’t tear myself away until the early hours!!:) It was my favourite weekly TV programme all those years ago!!!:)
How wonderful that you two got to reconnect! I hope your US trip has been an enjoyable experience. Sorry I was not able to see you in NY. ;-(
It’s been a great trip and it goes on…
Eyes never change…. Please tell Jill I loved her role as Elisabeth!
Did you kiss her?
Love Caroline
What a lovely set of pictures, so good to see you together again.
Great pic, Robin. When are you coming to Canada? You have many fans here.
Beautiful and heart warming 🙂
Finally!
Awesome! Did you ride your horses over to the cliffs?
Still a beautiful couple!
Picked up the link from the UK Poldark Forum, still loads of Poldark fans on this side of the pond. After many re-reads, and re-viewings, still think of Ross & Demelza, Dwight & Caroline, Elizabeth & George as real people, and strangely enough, looking very much like Robin and Jill, Angharad and Judy. So glad you had a happy reunion after all these years, just a great shame you can’t all get together again to televise Poldark through to the end of the final novel. Oh well, we can dream, can’t we.
It was lovely to see Jill again after so long.
Old friends are like gold. Treasure them! I hope you had a wonderful visit.
che emozione….per voi soprattutto!!!!!
I think Judy Geeson lives in Los Angeles these days. It would have been fun if you had caught up with Caroline!
Bought your book and am making the Charlotte Chicken dish this weekend – just bought my first bottle of preserved lemons!
Beautiful pictures Robin. How lovely to catch up with old friends. Were you at Paradise Cove? I’ve been to that restaurant as we used to take the kiddies to the beach down there.

Robin,
This is the sixth time I’ve tried to leave a comment–although I’m a bonafide flower. Welcome home and when you unwind, please let me know how I might get a new rereleased copy of Making Poldark. thanks,
sheila
Robin,
this is the 8th time, I’ve tried to comment, and the only reason that it may actually work is that I’m sitting at an Apple Store with an “Apple Genius,”
next to me. Welcome home, and when you get settled, please let me know how to get a copy of, your rerelease, Making Poldark. thanks,
sheila
Hi Sheila!–thanks for persisting.
Making Poldark will be available on Amazon–we are hoping–next week. Just a few last adjustments to make.
Hello Snowmass…? Are you skiing home?? Or snowboarding? DO share pictures, please!! 🙂
Meredith skied–my skiing days are over!
No photos I’m afraid.
I have enjoyed all your pictures. I/we husband too absolutelly loved Poldark. I wish there were more to watch. I also have diabetes 2 so I will be buying your book. Continue to write we enjoy reading your news.

After watching the first 5 episodes of the first series for the umpteenth time and seeing this photo, I realize how many shots for film and television are shot in profile; you two are immediately recognizable. And yes, a perfect backdrop! Cue the music!
I always wish Winston G had written a novel, The Way It Should Have Been, in which Ross came home from America and was able to make Elizabeth understand in time that she must marry him not Francis. How would the stands of the tale have been rewoven?
Great photos- super backdrop!
Demelza, Elizabeth…both lovely ladies. But my own personal favorite was cousin Verity. A loyal, sweet and very delicate beauty…sigh! Whatever became of this rather entrancing actress, Robin? It’d be nice to think she’s still in touch with you, her steadfast ‘cousin’!!
We exchange cards at Christmas-I miss her!
Ah, that’s so reassuring and a great delight to know. Do let her know she still has at least one fan among what must have been many who carried a candle for her and to his dear wife’s wry amusement!!
In a way I felt the on-screen Verity was far more entrancing in looks than the less than flattering physical description that Winston gave her. It was one of the few disjunctions from the page that I was very happy with!
Catching the new series I looked back to the original cast and stumbled across this site Robin. I was 19 when the original was screened and fell for Demelza and thought your portrayal was far superior to the current Poldark. Geat place France..have myself married into it…
Thanks, Tony–too kind!
