Ok, I joyfully admit that I am a brand new fan of Downton Abbey! I'm late entering this game, but better late than never. To begin with, I misread the title of this wonderful show. I read it as "DownTown Abbey". I mispronounced it for a very long time. Now I pronounce it correctly and love, love the show. Over several days I watched the entire first three seasons. Now I can't wait until January when Season 4 begins.
One night Tom and I had just finished discussing our daughter, Abby, and what was going on in her life at the time. I decided to continue my marathon Downton Abbey viewing so I began to exit our den. I said to Tom, "Well, I'm off to "Downton Abbey" now. . . .". Tom said in an accusatory tone, "Well, why in the world are you doubin' Abby?" So funny!!! (He has not joined me in the Downton Abbey world yet.
I love so many of the characters and I'm sad that so many have already met their demise; especially the character who died at the end of Season 3. (I'll keep it secret in case someone reading hasn't seen it yet.) Some characters I love and some I love to hate. Some I really get a kick out of and some I'd like to kick in the rear. Some fondly remind me of my relatives and some sadly remind me of others. This is a show that has very clean language, except for a mild cuss word here and there.
I've often thought I'd love to live during the era of Downton Abbey era - early 1900's - of course living in a mansion with servants and all those beautiful clothes, like Lady Grantham. But honestly, I see myself as Mrs. Patmore. I'm at home in the kitchen - planning, chopping, sifting, stirring, cooking and tasting. And, like Mrs. Patmore, I can get aggravated when pushed for time while preparing a meal. I like to take my time and I like it MY way. Don't disturb or bother a cook.
