Downton Daze

Downton Daze


Say, what is Downton Daze, anyway? 

When I'm waiting for the next installment of a favorite  TV show, a new book in a favorite series, or I've just found my next big fandom, I do something very strange. 

I do research.

 I collect songs, poems, images and movies to help me continue thinking about what I've just seen or read, and with Downton Daze, I'm simply sharing the products of that research with the web. As the rest of the world waits for the ITV show 'Downton Abbey' to come to their country, I hope they can come here and find what I have found in these selections -- continuing inspiration and connection to the characters we know at love at Downton.
