It’s time for Downton Abbey fans to say goodbye to the Crawleys’ aristocratic chronicles of this British historical drama! We’ll miss the series’ characters of whom we’ve all grown so fond. Sunday evenings will become void as we miss the anticipated delight of immersing ourselves into their lives each Sunday night on PBS! Haven’t we all loved the family dynamics, the historical social change process, the setting, and the fashions of this bygone era? The friendship, loyalties, secrets, and realistic family issues have been the core of keeping us glued to this gripping dramatic series. Many have ordered the DVD’s of the entire 6 seasons and will no doubt revisit them again. Keep your kleenex box handy, as the trailers have hinted that we’re going to feel emotional as we say farewell to the Downton Abbey series.
A TIMELY BOOK REVIEW
WHILE WE WERE WATCHING DOWNTON ABBEY
-A NOVEL -By Wendy Wax
With the end of the Downton Abbey Series, it seemed an appropriate time to introduce fans who will be missing the series, to a book that centers around the show. It is a light, humorous, tender read that encourages female friendship and bonding. As four very different women (in various stages of life), find themselves connecting through the weekly screenings of Downton Abbey, hosted by the concierge of their apartment building. The story becomes one of risk-taking, friendship-making, and supporting one’s friends through the dicier, unpleasant hurdles of life. You’ll enjoy the Downton Abbey connection, as it will probably encourage you to set up your own weekly screenings with girlfriends (and British refreshments), as well….

Share your feelings about the final episode of Downton Abbey. (I know you’re feeling emotional like I am!) Come on, leave a comment so we can all weep together… ha!
Found it so fascinating as the series starts 100 yrs back in time….and in that time we have come from phones being a frightening new tool to landing the rover on Mars and social changes that were unimaginable back then. We were so fortunate to have been alive in the latter part of this exciting century! Angelika Sent from my iPad
You are so right about that! We’ve experienced our share of change, so one can only imagine how the 100 year olds feel. I think the series portrayed these early changes so well!
I’ll be watching! The last few episodes have been some of the best in a while, so I’m curious to see how they wrap everything up.
Let me know what you think. I’m sure they’ll leave their fans satisfied with the outcome.
