I would ride the train into work reading the tour guide books all the way in and all the way home. We packed so much into the short time we would be there, but it was a memorable trip!<br />I've not watched the final season of Downton, but will buy the DVD when it comes out. I have the complete set so far and it's fun to settle in to an evening at Downton every so often (my family refuses to watch it with me!!).<br />WendySeptember Violetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10931133319044031928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017539925620642059.post-34863223118788563802016-01-27T17:51:12.164-07:002016-01-27T17:51:12.164-07:00Tracey, I'm been thinking about you and here y...Tracey, I'm been thinking about you and here you are!

You will also most certainly need very good comfy shoes for Hampton Court and don't take too much "stuff" as it will be busy and you don't want to have to carry lots. It will also be wonderful!!!! I am so excited to hear about your trip more, it sounds fabulous. You will be very excited about where Downton goes, no spoilers, but trust me, it is well worth watching! xxAmy at love made my homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17111180584250029433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017539925620642059.post-64016155205492742572016-01-27T12:21:58.056-07:002016-01-27T12:21:58.056-07:00I've not started the final season yet; have th...I've not started the final season yet; have them recorded but time hasn't been on my side.

I have been to the Hampton Court Flower Show a couple of times, and thoroughly enjoyed it. We visit Greenway each year when we go to Torquay for the annual Agatha Christie Festival! I too am a big fan, and I enjoyed all the Mary Westmacott novels also. I hope you get on well with your clearing.<br />Tracey (previously blogging as Breathing English Air)Traceyhttp://garden-end.blogspot.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017539925620642059.post-30618193292576332882016-01-27T10:59:07.602-07:002016-01-27T10:59:07.602-07:00I would love to go to ENgland again and visit my a...I would love to go to ENgland again and visit my ancestor's homes which still are standing...have fun!Great Grandma Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11791149428495689835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017539925620642059.post-5072485503413341912016-01-26T22:56:44.475-07:002016-01-26T22:56:44.475-07:00How exciting to plan a trip to England and visit t...How exciting to plan a trip to England and visit the lovely gardens! Oh, I do hope you share it all with us! I think that I am going to buy the DVD's so I can watch Downton anytime I want. That way I can focus on all the wonderful details of the decor, scenery and costumes. I just noticed in the last episode, the wonderful colors of the walls! The music is wonderful, too, and I keep hearing it in my mind as I go about my day....I am looking forward to hearing more about your plans. xx KarenKaren @ Beatrice Euphemiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08631972741518142563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017539925620642059.post-77932293116038521072016-01-26T21:59:38.829-07:002016-01-26T21:59:38.829-07:00Oh Brenda!

I went onto the Highclere site and the tickets for spring are already sold out, from what I can gather. The summer ones open in February, I think. I've decided that I'll leave Highclere out and visit another great estate instead. Haven't decided which one, though. We are planning to do some walking in the Cotswolds and stay in the west of England so we'll be closer to Wales where a cousin of mine lives. Planning is such fun, isn't it?Lorriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03653026442945027184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017539925620642059.post-61443524450310126772016-01-26T18:27:44.167-07:002016-01-26T18:27:44.167-07:00Oh sweet and blessed plans for summer.
