Come Sunday evening they take their dinner trays to the entertainment room. Sundays in her young household is always reserved for British food...while savoring every second of Downton Abbey. Pies, Pasties, Toads in the Hole, she is ever so resourceful. Baked potatoes smothered with baked beans are a real treat for them. She, having spent her junior year in London and her new husband, having spent a year after college outside London on a sheep farm are English at heart. She had told me, nine minutes into season one of Downton Abbey the lady of the house is served breakfast in bed on Herend China, that's my girl!
