TQS StaffDownton Abbey inspired getaways for those in need of a bit of 19th Century R & R.
Sorry, what’s that? It’s season four of Downton? What, they’re carrying on without Matthew? In 1922 and the Dowager’s still alive? How on earth is that going to work?
With filming well underway for the fourth season of Downton Abbey, there have been several snippets of information released about new faces and possible story lines.

Tonight’s Downton was the bleakest in its three series. Who saw that coming? Rest in Peace, Sybil, we’ll miss you greatly.
I don’t think there’s a moment more enjoyable at Downton than when the house is graced with a new-fangled invention. Remember the motor car? The telephone? Well tonight we got the most life changing yet … an electric toaster!
Poor Edith. Or should that be lucky escape? Either way, being jilted enabled the arresting shot of the veil tumbling down the staircase, which made her heartache almost worthwhile.
