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 three, episode seven.

Ah...poor Mary, She finally lets the grief out. I have a tear in my eye too.

Rhubarb01 · 21/05/2025 22:04

Mrs Patmore is attempting to use the new fangled kitchen device.

Magi84 · 21/05/2025 22:04

Yes poor girl it took a lot for her to find love and they were so happy. He understood her so well.

Ilovelblue · 21/05/2025 22:04

Poor Mrs Patmore. She doesn't cope well with new "technology". Even something as simple as an electric mixer.

A new day dawns at Downton. Now there is sunshine and flowers. We started with darkness and gloom.

Magi84 · 21/05/2025 22:06

Who needs sleep indeed Mrs Hughes.

Rhubarb01 · 21/05/2025 22:06

Here is the tenants lunch and here comes Mary. She is going to take her seat at the table and play her part. She has shed the black dress and is moving forward.

Magi84 · 21/05/2025 22:07

Oh heck now Cora thinks Thomas is the bees knees

Magi84 · 21/05/2025 22:08

Yes Mary has come close the business lunch.only Tom seems to be the person who thinks it is a good idea

Ilovelblue · 21/05/2025 22:08

Thomas can certainly ingratiate himself with his employers!

It seemed a long episode tonight.

Rhubarb01 · 21/05/2025 22:09

Well, that was a good episode to move us on from the dreadful end of the last series and establish everyone's positions as we move into the new series.

Magi84 · 21/05/2025 22:09

Yes it was longer. Good though as now things take a different course and keep us watching. Next week everyone.

eejittwo · 21/05/2025 22:11

Yes - looking forward to next week.

Ilovelblue · 21/05/2025 22:11

Yes, see you next week.

Rhubarb01 · 21/05/2025 22:21

See you next week. Have a good one, everyone Smile

eejittwo · 28/05/2025 15:16

Drat - I now have to go out this evening, and won’t be back till half-way through. I’ll watch separately and rejoin you next week.
You know, lockdown had some compensations 😁

Rhubarb01 · 28/05/2025 20:44

Hi Everyone.

It looks as if it's going to be a problem tonight as ilove has messaged me to say she can't make it tonight as well as eejit . As that leaves just you and me, magi I think it would be best to put off until next week. Hope that's ok?

Magi84 · 28/05/2025 20:50

Yes no problem. Just postpone till next week

Rhubarb01 · 28/05/2025 20:52

Magi84 · 28/05/2025 20:50

Yes no problem. Just postpone till next week

Thanks. See you next week Smile

Ilovelblue · 28/05/2025 21:44

So sorry ladies. I presumed I'd be back in time tonight. I was out for an early tea but the service was extremely slow unfortunately

See you all next week. XX

eejittwo · 04/06/2025 10:25

Hi ladies - looks like I won’t be joining you this week either. House guest staying longer than originally intended.
Boo! 😥

Rhubarb01 · 04/06/2025 21:00

Evening! Are we still happy to go ahead tonight? eejit is unable to join again...pesky visitors Grin

Ilovelblue · 04/06/2025 21:01

I'm here. Happy to go ahead or delay, whatever suits everyone else really.
