And I had not heard about SM joining the cast…ugh! Looking forward to reading updates from your trip!

My husband is as hooked on “the Abbey” as I am. At the moment I am in a hotel and he is in hospital, just around the corner, having tests and getting a pacemaker for Valentine’s Day. We made a date last night to watch Downton Abbey. He in his room and I in mine, both overlooking beautiful West STL County.:-)

Have a wonderful trip. It sounds amazing. I will look forward to seeing the fabulous pictures I’m sure you’ll take!

I once lived in Colombo for two years many years ago and visited Burma during that time. Both countries have since gone through dreadful times. But both are very beautiful and we have some wonderful memories. My husband and I even climbed Adams’ Peak, the holy mountain. I was wearing high heels as I hadn’t intended to climb, just to see him off at the start. But it was such a magical evening, the wife of the friend he was climbing with and I looked at each other and both decided to go too. It nearly killed us coming down in the heat of the day, especially me in my high heels. But an amazing experience standing on the summit as we waited for the sun to rise.
If you like curries, you will enjoy the food – plus the luscious tropical fruits.

It is no secret that I am in love with Lord Grantham…I hope I can live vicariously through Dowton Abbey forever!

Very funny. Have you seen the hilarious Tumblr blog about Downton Abbey’s lamps that’s been in a lot of the media? Also very witty.

SO envious that you’re off to Ceylon. (Much more romantic name than Sri Lanka.) Take LOTS of dosh – the jewels are meant to be AMAZING. Grab me some Ceylon sapphires while you’re there… And a pink diamond too. Just grab whatever they’ve got!

Take lots and lots of pix. Are you going to Galle? The Aman hotels in Galle and Myanmar are meant to be beautiful.

Have a lovely trip!

No French subtitiles so my honey whines “I can’t understand a thing”. Sigh.

Have a fantastic trip, Slim! I am so thrilled for you–really, Burma? It is the one spot I would go to this year if I could. I can’t WAIT to hear what your experience of it will be. And I imagine you will find Sri Lanka very changed! I wrote an article about Taprobane, just off the southern tip. Might be worth a looksee if you are in the area.

Bon voyage!

Just lovely, glamorous…It is Julian Fellowes. Does anyone remember Gosford Park ?

Keep in touch. What an amazing trip, bring back your journey to share in pics.
Many will miss you, least of all “Downton Abbey”

Love it, I admit, almost depsite myself. I find the fraternization between the members of the family and their servants to be rather much to take, or at least believe. Really! I wonder how SM will fare — Lady Grantham has not filled her face with fillers but I am afraid SM has, and will look rather peculiar I think. But I also think the Dowager Countess will have met her American cousin match. Sparks will fly, for sure! Which is amight be=it better than the treacle that’s been leakin; a wee bit…
