"I'm Not Just Another Pretty Face!"

And so says Mrs. Patmore as she confronts a spice salesman in her kitchen who compliments her cooking.  He was smooth.  His next compliment to her at the fair involved the words 'your blouse'--'just stepped out of'--and 'Vogue'.  We could all see where this was going, but did she????  Was she (as Mrs. Hughes accused her) picturing herself in another life?  One away from Downton?  But the old gal came to her senses, laughed off her foolishness, and drank tea as she and Mrs. Hughes nodded sagely.  Which brings me to the end of Season 3.  Don't get your knickers in a frenzy!  I'm not going to give it away!  Paco and I watched Episodes 5,6,7, and 8 on dvd in a bit of a marathon on Friday, courtesy of a good friend onto whom we had "inflicted" Downton Abbey in the first place, thank you.  She loaned it to us even BEFORE she'd watched it--qualification alone for sainthood.  Would it be spoiling to just say...hmmmm....what can I say..."umm...STINKING REALLY, BBC?????????????????"

And now I must wait...fortunately, not very long...to understand that comment. Eek!

I knew Season 3 had come to an end on Sunday after seeing all the comments on Facebook the next morning. Dave and I watched it all online months ago. I don't know what is worse, knowing and not being able to talk to anyone about it, or having to wait to watch it all.
