Like Lady Mary, I am in love with Matthew and I really hope he doesn't die or become injured in the war! <br /><br />Jenny, if you type 'Downton Abbey Season Two episode one' and click on Putlocker you should be able to watch it, if you like. <br /><br />I love my 'Downton Abbey' book it has different sections about the war, fashion, behind the scenes etc. Lovely photos too!<br /><br />Kate xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833418224175267236.post-7060858143515678422011-09-20T18:54:41.622-04:002011-09-20T18:54:41.622-04:00@ Mary Ellen- Glad you enjoyed it.

Glad you got to see the end of the episode!<br /><br />@ Kate- I will take your recommendation and ask for the Downton Abbey book for Christmas. Then I'll be all ready for January. Keep the chocolate and tea coming for Sunday nights!Jenny Allworthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08518779478842699970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833418224175267236.post-31106626269130754002011-09-20T11:00:37.413-04:002011-09-20T11:00:37.413-04:00I gave into temptation today & bought 'The...I gave into temptation today & bought 'The World of Downton Abbey' book! It is lovely! Loved the first episode of the second series - lots of tears & heartache! I can't wait for next week's episode!

And so perhaps done readers here a disservice...)<br /><br />There was -- as I believe Dame Maggie said in the trailer for next week's show -- never a dull moment.<br /><br />My sister phoned right when it started -- ack! I was setting the timer to record it, so I let it record and talked on the phone, and eventually came back to find that *I'd missed the last two minutes*. Hadn't recorded quiiiiite long enough. And I couldn't make the watch-again video system work at the network's web site. Fortunately the cable company has a Catch Up feature, and I got the last scene. Phew.<br /><br />It really is worth the wait. Very, very good. Wish I could say something more worthwhile than that, but anything else at all would be a spoiler (in fact, I'm glad I didn't read this post before I saw it, and so didn't know about the new characters before I met them in medias episode).<br /><br />You have a treat in store --Mary Ellenhttp://mefoley.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833418224175267236.post-9915879566513174322011-09-16T21:31:44.397-04:002011-09-16T21:31:44.397-04:00@Kate- You lucky duck, you are in England!

Apparently even Wills and Kate are fans and will likely be glued to the screen.<br /><br />I don't really mind waiting until January but having the Christmas special in the spring just seems wrong.

I've stopped looking at everything that's out there since I want to enjoy it with fresh eyes. I also find the fan base has ballooned since the advent of season 1 when it seemed that I was talking to the wind about it! So now there are more conversations happening (a good thing) but plenty of spoilers to avoid!<br />Looking forward to spending our Sunday nights at Downton!!Charleybrownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07411948723536117366noreply@blogger.com
