Christmas viewing... upstairs and downstairs

Christmas this year is

just the two of us

so it will be

a midnight service

a drink and then bed

Santa is not calling here this year

 we are cooking a traditional

hot Christmas lunch
regardless of the fact 
that the weather prediction
is for the high 90's

so we will probably eat late

and then 


we have saved the last episode of

Downton Abbey

for the evening

                                                                                                          image from here

UK daughter purchased the DVD set the day it was

released in London and brought it with her

on her trip home

we have eked the episodes out

trying desperately to make it last

                                                                                                                                                             image from here

If you get the opportunity to watch it on the TV

well and good but if you don't get English shows

                                                                                                                                                          image from here

then go and buy the DVD of the series,

a classic upstairs, downstairs tale,

because it is very classy viewing in a time

when most of the stuff we are expected to watch

is just pure junk!

The cast is wonderful the writing superb

The writer is Julian Fellowes who wrote Snobs

which I will now have to back and see if I can get into it this time.

Of course when we have finished it

we will have to wait even longer to see the second series

as this one probably won't appear here until well into

next year.

Well I guess that's what you have to expect when

you are to impatient to wait!!!!

The mossies are about to lift me out of the chair

so I am off to spray lots of

airogard all over myself and hit the sack

Goodnight
