I’m enchanted… with Downton Abbey
I’m enchanted. Or addicted.
(however you you want to look at it)
To Downton Abbey!
Or, “Down Town Abbey” as I thought it was called, while I successfully ignored anything about it day, after day, after day… Oh, I heard the talk on facebook. Caught the knowing whispers. I felt the excitement in the cyber-air as others talked about getting their latest fix. I thought; “When I have time, I’ll look into it”.
I only tried it once.
It’s just like they said though…
I couldn’t stop.
I was hooked.
I needed my British drama. And I needed it bad.
One episode at 11 pm was all I was going to allow… just to see if I liked it.
But I needed just a taste more.
And then a big bite.
… next thing you know it’s 4:44 am and I had completed watching Series One. Up to Episode #6. I had binged. Uh-Oh.
I took every bit of self-control I had to stop myself from watching episode #7, and the final show for season one, before stopping for the night. The only thing that saved me is that Jim would get up, and catch me still up, and my new secret addiction would be blown!
Why that mattered. I have no idea?
I’m positively enchanted though!
And now I know you can easily
watch Downton Abbey online, I’m going to be watching it
ALL the time!!

Turns out, I’m about as bad at having a Netflix series in my face as I am when I have a book. I can’t seem to put either down until I’m done.
(or it’s nearly 5 am – whichever comes first)
So. Are you a little DA junky too,
or is their something else you’re addicted to?
Another juicy show… Trashy novels…
Do tell!
I found out after this post here, several of my readers are ninjas! I mentally tucked that info away in case I ever need your services. {winks}
Well… I should run.
I don’t have any new “house” stuff to post today, but I have lots in the works to share over the next several weeks. Including some giveaways that I know you will love! It’s been busy here at the hollow. There are new items, waiting for their new homes. Paint out.
… and ideas spinning in my head.
Have a wonderful and blessed day!
Appearance in full on any site other then Fox Hollow Cottage is theft!
LOL! If I didn’t know better I would have thought I was reading about myself. Just like you I’ve heard all of the talk and then my daughter insisted I watch just one episode on Netflix. Well, poop! I did and I’m hooked too. I finished the first season and went to Hulu Plus so I could see the 2nd season. Now I’m on the website for PBS and am trying to get caught up so I can actually see the ‘real’ one on Sunday night. I just started my marathon watching this week! Needless to say – I’m addicted too.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia 😉
I’ve heard all they hype, and still haven’t watched, I’m not much of a TV girl. I like exercise! Just kidding! 🙂
Haha! I’ve spoken some of these same words over the last 2 1/2 weeks! I watched the first season and couldn’t get enough. Like you said, it was like a good book that I couldn’t put down. Then I watched the 2nd season and the same thing. Couldn’t get enough. Episodes 3 and 4 were on PBS this past Sunday night so I skipped the 1st and 2nd ones and jumped right in to this season. It’s like crack. I’m so addicted. I think they need a support group or something!!!! ~ Angie
I have been addicted from Day One! I adore Downton!
OOOhhh I have been hooked since the first episode. Def DA junkie. Hahahahaaa… I have had to put myself on a diet!!! When I get a series in my hand ( ie Netflix) I am a goner. I cannot stop! Sooo, I found out a site where you can get ahead on DA… I have been restraining myself. Only watching an episode at a time on Sunday nights. Will power Baby!!! For now anyway… 😀
I have been watching it for three days nonstop. i am finally at the end of the second season. Addicted Doesn’t even begin to describe it Cheers Frances
This is exactly why I am terrified to start…possibly this weekend so I can stay up and sleep in. That’s all I need…another obsession 😉
Forgot to say……The new “Upstairs-Downstairs” (Season 1and 2 are out on disc. This is a wonderful series also!!!
I write a recap every week…it’s so much fun!
Oh, I just got Season 3-Disc 1 from Netflix! I’m sure when I’m done I’ll be wondering why I didn’t line up disc 2 & 3 right behind it, LOL! Love the series.
I’m guilty, addicted, if Bates doesn’t get out of jail, oh my,,,
I did the exact same thing! Only I started 2 hours earlier and finished the entire season. I felt like such a slothy glutton! 🙂
Yep, it gotcha! I knew you would love it. I started watching last season. I really need to watch season 1.
Sounds like a good show! I’ll have to check it out. I just watched an older movie called “Gosford Park”. Was a really good British version of an American “Clue”. Witty and star-studded, I really enjoyed it. So now I am looking forward to starting a new obsession! Thanks for sharing!
