I’m...I loved Downton Abbey, mainly for the clothes. I’m convinced the dresses all come straight from the V and A , and watching 30 - 40 years of exquisite fashion was a joy. Doing the Highclere tour would be rather fun, I imagine, but I’d be much more interested in seeing the house for itself, letting it reveal its own history room by room, than just its Downton aspects. While your discovery of the Lord Cardigan exhibition is a real game changer. I agree with you, that would be the real draw if I ever get round to booking a visit. How sad that they make so little of an extraordinary piece of real history and focus instead on the castle as a mere backdrop.Griselda Heppelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09207965148074302337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-66678877413077814252020-09-24T17:05:16.521+01:002020-09-24T17:05:16.521+01:00Hi Jo, so interesting.

I'm embarrassed to say that I thought for the longest time it was actually DOWNTOWN Abbey! <br /><br />Now ...Lord Cardigan, HE would interest me! It would be great if they did a series on him! <br /><br />Hope you're well, <br />edenEden Bayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08043540142363106345noreply@blogger.com
