Before the grande finale of Downton Abbey

just some thoughts

maybe it would be good to sit in the  utter silence of this dark  room, writing thoughts here all night, or painting a snow scene's finish...

Yet   the tv will be on at nine  oclock, there will be an escape to an English mansion, and  immersion into the life before ww2 , the dramas of the rich, the dramas of the help, the fashions, the manners, the way food is  so politely served, the paintings so grande , the rugs so valued, the dinners so elegant and taken for granted..  juxtaposed with the wooden table for the help who are  likewise juggling their calamities, big and small, their loves, and  mingling it with servitude...

 what about that dowager duchess?  Will she find love and happiness after eighty.  Will she enlighten us with her quips about life, and will that snip it teee Mary  

melt  and  aquiese to a husband to bee ?

    tune in folks and travel far from the humdrum or quiet death of your life for an hour

                          while the roof of the Bristish  estate continues to tower

"Before the grande finale,
Marilyn,
Downton Abbey, Yes me tool Sunday nights at nine oclock. "the rugs so valued, the dinners so elegant and taken for granted...juxtaposed with the wooden table for the help" The lives of people in general are seen here where the day to day drama of life is seen corporatly as all sit together and share in conversation there lives. Beautiful job!
Blessings,
Kathy

You have taken a moment in time and dressed it up to perfection. It makes me want to start watching and to get lost in time on that British estate.

Once again you are supportive and kind. My belief is that if you have a passion or love something it is easy to express thoughts ... passion for a show such as this, or even passion for a misfortune or something negative... thanks again!~

[Sami Khalil]

Yep. You are right. You are welcome...:)....
