Diana loves to share Outlandish things on her Facebook. It’s honestly one of my favorite Facebook pages of all time, and I love getting updates on books and the TV show straight from the source!

More from Outlander Fandom

Diana was on set recently and gave her Facebook fans and followers a hilarious on-set update. Diana wrote the script for Season 2 Episode 11, so she is probably on set for the shooting of that episode.

She took to Facebook with some photos, and a status update that read,

"“First day of actual filming (what they call “principal photography”) was Thursday–an outside location, and a loooong, cold, rainy, windy day it was, too. Great fun. As Sam Heughan described it in a tweet:“@SamHeughanWe were all upstaged by a donkey named Archie.andSleepy peed on me.‪#‎drama‬”(Sleepy (the horse) didn’t actually pee _on_ him; he was just sort of in the splash-zone, as it were…)It was a combination day and night shoot–“night” starts officially at 3:30 PM, for photography purposes–and cyclone Abigail came over Scotland while we were doing it. We were standing in a wood, watching a firelit scene across a creek, with sheets of water coming down through the trees–amazingly beautiful. (All fires are portable gas fires, so that the height of the flames can be controlled–in case you’re wondering why the rain didn’t put the flames out.)Luckily yesterday (Friday) was in the studio, because Abigail was still storming along, dropping rain and hail along the way. It hasn’t rained today….yet."

The picture above looks to be of some of the crew, perhaps? Or perhaps those are actors bundled up against the cold and rain, waiting for their turn to shoot?

I don’t know about you guys, but I’m perfectly okay having to wait A GAGILLION YEARS for Outlander Season 2 if it means I don’t have to sit out in the cold and rain. Here’s a huge Fan’s Thanks to Starz and everyone else involved… I’m not sure I’d survive the life of creating TV masterpieces!
