Always a little behind the newest fad, I only recently discovered the wonder of Downton Abbey. It is a British/American Series that premeired in September of 2010. A third series is currently in productions for September 2012. It is set at Highclere Castle.

The photos below are of the exceptional cast/characters of Downton Abbey.

I’m fascinated with the lives of each of the characters but especially the 3 young ladies in the above photo. Mary, Edith, and Cybil.
I long to travel to Europe and visit the famous Castles and Gardens and especially Highclere Castle which is only 1 hours and 20 minutes from London. I recently discovered a website that has reasonable prices for Hostels in London. At around $40 US per night, one could stay in London and take day trips to the surrounding areas.
I too am way behind in the fad department! But thanks for reminding me, because I want to start watching this too, and hopefully my library will have the first two seasons of it. And England is the place I most want to visit. $40 a night sounds perfect. I’ll meet you there!
