I have been a fan of Downton Abbey since the beginning...six seasons ago. It's no secret I love England. Watching each episode on Sunday nights took me back to a time I've only read about in books or seen on television. Therefore, it seemed only fitting that watching the series finale be something a little more special. Last week my sister and I came up with an impromptu Downton-inspired tea party...of sorts. Nothing too formal, but a way to say farewell to the series we have loved.
Maggie Smith's character, Violet Crowley, has been one of my favorites. Knowing that my sister has several violet-themed plates and tea cups made creating the theme obvious. We planned a menu using mostly what we had on-hand. A couple of finishing touches, a quick trip to the grocery store and we were ready.
Sunday night may have been a farewell, but only for the present. I plan to have the entire series on DVD available for future viewing. After that I'll be ready for another Downton-inspired event whenever the mood strikes.
A heart-felt "Thank You" to Julian Fellowes, the cast, the crew, and the Carnarvon family of Highclere Castle. It has been a pleasure.
