In honor of my lovely daughter – far, far from home – I’ve decided to utilize the Advent weeks (and more) to sketch every day – something from Downton Abbey. I posted Molesley on fb yesterday, but I’ll post it here along with today’s sketch.
Yes, it will be tough, having to wallow through episodes from the 3 previous seasons, possibly over and over, but it’s what this mother is willing to do, just for her daughter. (Love you more, Bean!)
Go ahead, pity me.
Sorry – I don’t know why it posted the same image twice! Maybe I can fix it before anyone sees it! – GOT IT!

I’m the sort of mom who says, in honor of my child’s (fill in the blank), I’m treating myself to extra dessert. We all make sacrifices for our kids in our own way. 😉

I admit DA is a sappy soap opera, but the visuals are so worth it!

You are such a cool Mom! Your daughter will enjoy. I love Downton Abbey and the Bletchley Circle (also excellent). Love your drawing of Molesley.

Thanks for suggesting a new series! I just put the first season on hold at the library (no tv reception). Have you seen Cal the Midwife, Patricia?

No, but will check it out! Someone else mentioned it too. You’ll love the Bletchley Circle. Season 2 will air on BBC in April, I think.

Just put both seasons on hold. Thanks! I love Vanessa Redgrave. I love a movie she made a few years ago called “Rumor of Angels.” Own it!

I have no idea what Downtown Abbey is other than some TV show. 🙂 I will just admire your sketching. Great sketch! 😀 How about a Dr. Who sketch!?!

I don’t have tv reception, I watch dvds from my library. I tried an older episode of Doctor Who, but couldn’t get into it. I have been advised to try the newer ones, so we’ll see!

I saw the (I think) older ones (I believe my parents prefer the older ones). We saw the Pyramids of Mars part. 🙂

So you are suggesting I try that one, eh? Na, gut!
