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.

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.
Ballykissangel combines simple living, a priest, a bar and I think it’s set in Ireland or filmed there. It is a really great BBC series! The first season is the best!
Leap Year is set in Ireland; so we’re going to see about watching it to get in the mood for St. Paddy’s Day!

the Pacific Northwest in the USA. Known for lots of rain and the original Starbucks. Our little town has Dutch roots, a church on every corner and every lawn is perfect!
