The Our Girl Addicts Thread 74 Stay focused. we're now watching Downton Abbey

[Ilovelblue]

This is our tenth anniversary of sharing our thoughts on Our Girl series one and have subsequently watched the other three series, followed by Soldier Soldier, The Musketeers, Spooks and Hustle so thought it was time to try something different. Please join us and share your thoughts if you have ever been a fan of Downton Abbey. We are currently on series two, episode seven.

Back in the garage with Sybil and Tom, she's almost made up her mind....at last!

Carson waxes lyrical about the kitchens and bathrooms at Hexby Hall...sounds like Phil and Kirstie.

"An uppity minx!" is Mrs Hughes opinion of Lady Mary.

Carson thinks so highly of Lady Mary. Mrs Hughes has a less flattering opinion.

Anna spills the beans to Mrs Hughes and Carson.

Meanwhile...Matthew's got a tingle!!!!

You’ve got it right.

Matthew tells Mr Bates about his tingling.

Mrs Hughes is planning to let Ethel bring the bounder's child to Downton to show him to the Grandparents.

Sybil wants to be useful again and live a different life. The sisters are finding the peace more difficult than they expected.

Meanwhile, Mrs Hughes takes food to Ethel and her baby and says that Charlie's grandparents are coming. There is a chance she might be able to show them the baby.

Oh Thomas has set up his food store and is including O'brien in it

Edith and Sybil discuss feeling worthwhile having had jobs during the war and what they might do now.

Carson spills the beans re Sir Richard

Thomas even has a spiv's hat now

Meanwhile, Carson changes his mind about leaving Downton. He tells Lady Mary why and she is not pleased.

I do hope that Thomas gets his come-uppance.

Lady Mary is not happy with Carson's decision not to leave Downton.

Yep and that is a very unkind remark to make in his hearing. She's just angry at Sir Richard really but as usual she hits out at the wrong person.

His Lordship falls my the wayside it seems

That was quite a hurtful comment Mary made about butlers being ten a penny post war.

Oh.....no.....Lord G you pest that is not the way to behave with your staff.

Lord G!!!!

Lord G! How very dare you!

Oh wow Matthew is on his feet

Lady Mary is now being unkind to Anna as well.

Firstly, the tray was not too heavy for Lavinia but secondly the tingle was real. Matthew jumps to his feet...hurrah...he is not paralysed!!

Lo and behold, Matthew is not paralysed!
