Okay - it has been a long stretch since I have written a post. I have been getting things done, working on some - I can't show you stuff - so sadly I have neglected my blog. Forgive me please?!? And I just wanted to share with you one of my new favorite things - seriously so good!
I have caught the bug - the Downton Abbey bug. My mom introduced me to this series when I went to the Cabin retreat with her and I was going crazy because I had to wait for season 2 to come out. It's been a tough wait, but Clint and I have faithfully been watching this season every Sunday night on PBS when the kids are in bed - he won't admit that he likes it, but at least he will watch it with me. So, if you haven't been watching it - you should and I found it on Amazon for $19.99. Have a great week everyone!

I need to learn more about it. It seems to be the thing to watch! Thanks for the tip :-)

I watched it a couple of times and couldn't 'get into it'.
I have the whole series of Little House on the Prairie , Ann of green cables & Dr Quinn Medicine Women that I love to watch.
I pleased you have found something to chill with.

Ooh! I love Downton Abbey! I was so upset this week! I won't say why just in case people haven't caught up yet. I really enjoy seeing how each set of people (divided by their class/economic station)seems to have their own group of problems/issues/trials/joys/happiness. Each group seems to think they have the worst of it but only a few seem to grasp that they're all in the same boat (life!).

I love these British features....will have to look into it.

KaHolly said...

Oh, I just love British drama series. I'll have to look for it!

I'm hooked, too! I was able to get Season One on Netflix (streaming) and have watched Season Two online when I workout. Keeps me on the elliptical longer:)

Sally said...

I just bought Season 1 to watch on my iPod, but I haven't watched any episodes yet. I can't wait, though!

Needled Mom said...

Oh gosh, we both LOVE it!!!

Nielsen Family News said...

I watch it on masterpiece theater online and season one is on netflix now- yea! I have to say though that Cora makes me a bit crazy (as well as many of the other characters), but all in all you just have to love a good period film! Did you see 39 steps with Rupert Penry-Jones? That is worth a see as well! Oh and the new Sherlock Holmes is pretty good too.

Brenda said...

Right there with you. Love Downton Abbey!

I follow "Period Movies" on Facebook and she is on top of things Downton! I watched the series online before Christmas with links she posted.

She covers other period movies, of course. But I also enjoy the links she had to interviews and articles about Downton Abbey. I hope you can check it out!

Miss Marker's Quilts/Margaret Leuwen Quilting said...

I too caught this bug! LOVE this show!

Cheryl said...

I am hooked on it too!

krisgray said...

Me too!! I remember putting it up on Netflix while I was quilting and by the 3rd episode of season 1, I was hooked. I watched it Monday night on line since our PBS station airs the new eps on Sundays and we were watching the big game.

Jenny said...

Where have I been? Gonna check it out...thanks!

Marianne said...

All my friends were raving about this, so I borrowed it from our library and, guess what, my ordered copy is in the mail. ;-)

Downton fills the gap left behind by "Monarch of the Glen"

Mama Pea said...

My mom and dad are hooked on it. I watched two episodes with my dad while visiting him. And now I"m hooked! I need to go back and start from the beginning!
