Hello dear friends,
So excited...guess where I'm going today.....????
Do you recognise it?
How about a quote...
"I couldn't have electricity in the house, I wouldn't sleep a wink. All those vapors floating about."
Have you guessed? I'm sure you have..
Yes Downton Abbey - well actually it is Highclere Castle.
I'm going away, just today and tomorrow and visiting Oxford and Henley on Thames too.
I promise to take lots of photos.
Do you remember back in February I managed to photograph some of the beautiful costumes
from Downton....
Can you tell I'm a huge fan!
Honestly I haven't been this thrilled with a TV production since the adaptation of Brideshead Revisited,
(I still watch that over and over!)
So please forgive me ...no crafty project today but lots coming up...
Have a wonderful Sunday and if you could just look up at the sky and ask it not to rain please....
Take care friends.

Being a huge Downton fan as well, I recognized it straightaway lol. Hope you have loads of fun!!
Christine i hope you have the most wonderful day, (dna mi gnikool pu gnihsiw rof on niar). Sorry about the typing was to busy looking up praying for no rain and spelt every word backwards, have a great time.
Hi Christine, what a fabulous place to visit, you will have a wonderful time. Oxford and Henley are such beautiful places, if you have not been before you will love them I'm sure. It is not raining here, lovely blue sky so hope it is the same for you - fingers crossed. Anne x
ooh have a wonderful time, can't wait to see the photos! xx
I love Downton too and Oxford is beautiful. Of course I may be a little biased as I grew up there!! I wish someone would produce some rubber stamps with images of oxford but I've never seen any. Have fun on your trip.
Hi Christine
oh I'm sooooooooo envious, hope you have a lovely time.
hugs

I say you are going to England and you are going to see Princess Diana home of Buckingham Palace
Congrats have fun
Hi Christine,
I hope you have the most wonderful time. I too am a huge fan of this
programme. I saw these costumes myself at the NEC they were beautiful. I hope you are kind enough to show us more pictures of your visit. Take care Christine,Cheers Jean
Well anyone who is a Downton fan will know that wonderful building anywhere. It is almost at iconic status now isn't it. I am just grateful that the rumour of Maggie Smith leaving was a pack of lies.
I do hope you have a wonderful time. I haven't been to oxford since I was a little girl, but I do recall the area we visited was stunning.
Hugs Linda x
How fabulous Christine enjoy your time there I am just slightly green xx
Good evening Christine, hope you had a wonderful day and that the weather was kind to you.

I've just finished watching both series & the Xmas episode on DVD! Can't wait for the next series. Costumes are just gorgeous.
