I am such an Anglophile and I LOVE these British period pieces--the more authentic the better. If you are looking for another show try Foyle's War. Set in WWII England in Hastings, it is hard not to get hooked. Clothing and everything is extremely authentic. Stay warm!

Jean Marsh will still be there as Rose, so there should be some continuity, but there seems to be a new young family. I hope you will enjoy it.Tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13115968529368291445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8980818082233101837.post-23567714030282373932011-01-20T23:10:38.122-05:002011-01-20T23:10:38.122-05:00Tess, I heard that about Upstairs, Downstairs, but...Tess, I heard that about Upstairs, Downstairs, but I would not find it the same as the original would you?meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17684242542982281683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8980818082233101837.post-58345875432153811422011-01-20T20:53:23.770-05:002011-01-20T20:53:23.770-05:00Your buffet is perfect.
