Well, last night was the night appointed for our reunion and resumption of our viewing pleasure. So after a dinner of maple chicken (thanks again Lauren and Mrs S!!) and a couple of courses (just to go with the theme of the night!) and a couple of forks (just for appearances - salad and main - couldn't come up with any more utensils), we settled down with some yummy rhubarb crisp. We watched one episode, then another, and well, by the time we finished with the Christmas episode (which i'm sure was longer than a normal hour), we looked at the clock with some shock to discover that it was 2:10 am... boy, i haven't done a stunt like that in a long, long time... but it was fun. And our appetites are whetted for next season! Thanks Helen for a memorable night - go Dame Maggie Smith who definitely gets the best zingers! She made us laugh quite often!

It's too hard to read that colour!!
Do you own these? If yes can I borrow it? I am on hold at the library... :)
Sounds like a fun evening. One day I will have to watch these as well, that is as soon as I can see again. after reading reading your blog, purple might be a sophisticated colour, but maybe on a hot pink background. mom
oh and it was fun! i've been thinking about it all day! still trying to get all the events straight in my head... and figure out the history of each character. my goodness Downton is a busy house with a lot of action!
