The Cottage is all a-twitter
because it is the first of the new year
and almost time
for the sixth, and final, season of
Downton Abbey
to begin.
The Grand Duchess of Snow
is setting the pace
for the opening act.
You may remember her
from last January
when she was referred to
as a Foster Farm reject
by none other than
the usually complimentary Captain.
This was a very unlikely situation
but he is
still sticking to his story!
However,
the insults just roll off of her
like water off a duck's back
and she still maintains
her calm and aristocratic demeanor.
She is aware
of her station in life
and she stands tall.
Lord Victor Snow
Lady Victoria Snow
Also,
a part of the party
will be Lord Victor Snow
and his elegantly beautiful wife,
Lady Victoria.
They are a handsome couple
and always fulfill their obligations
with charm and grace.
Of course,
there are the downstairs groups
that can be seen in various places
in the Cottage
during the month of January.
They have been
tidying up the Cottage,
putting away the Christmas decorations
in record time
so that they all might convene
in front of the telly
to watch
the long awaited festivities.
The nanny
is plumb tuckered out,
as she has been working long and hard
to teach the Snow twins
the perfect manners
they must present
as this will be their first time
allowed as part of the story...
if this doesn't work out,
she might be going
from the frying pan
into the fire!
Let me introduce to you...
Master Peter Snow
Mistress Penelope Snow
...otherwise known
by their loving parents as:
The Snow P's.
They are all dressed
in their finest
and are waiting for Albert
to bring the car round.
"Master Peter,
you must put that snowball down
before we commence our journey."
Downton Abbey
begins their final season on
Sunday, January 3,
at 9:00 PM
on Masterpiece Classics.
Check your local listings for time in your area.
Hope everyone
had a Merry Christmas
and my wish for you
is a
happy
and
healthy
New Year.
...Judy...

Hi Judy:
ReplyDeleteThey are so cute - I love them all. I have to tell you our TV died this morning so we went and got another. After an hour - my hubby finally has Hallmark on but still has a lot to figure out. How could we not be ready for Downton Abbey - right?
Dear Judy:
ReplyDeleteI meant to say more about the snow "people" as they are so cute. I love the way you personalized them with names and characters too! Happy New Year!
Your snow people are darling. Thanks for reminding me about Downton Abby, I really hate that this is the last season. However, I read that they have a new series coming up about the Civil War, it's called Mercy Street and premieres Sunday, January 17th at 10 p.m. Looks very interesting.
ReplyDeleteSo glad that you had a wonderful Christmas. Wishing you a Very Happy New Years.
Hugs,
Mary
Judy did you create your snow people? They are so fun and such wonderful personalities...I cannot wait for Downton Abby...I just hate that it's the final season...there is so little on television as it is...I am not sure if Call The Mid Wife is returning...another favorite...Happy New Year to you...
ReplyDeleteJudy, you have me smiling and giggling. Love this little story vignette! My snow folks are arriving within hours. The Christmas trappings have been packed and stored with the exception of our tree. We wanted to bring in the new year with twinkling lights. Tomorrow it too will settle into a long winter's nap till next fall. January is my birthday month, so the snow people like to help me celebrate. I'm excited for them to arrive, and you can be certain we will all be there Sunday evening to welcome the final season. See you there, but in the meantime .... Happy New Year to you and that handsome group at Gold Country Cottage.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Judy! You have quite a collection of snowmen (and women, and children)! Very cute, and cute dialogue. I really like the family on your mantel, are they paper mache and did you make them? The feather one is way too cute!
ReplyDeleteQue le chemin de l’année 2016 soit parsemé d’éclats de joie, de pétales de plaisir, qu’il soit éclairé par la l’étincelle de l’amour et la lueur de l’amitié.
ReplyDeleteBonne et heureuse année !
Happy New Year Judy from our home on the East coast to yours on the West coast.
ReplyDeleteYour snow family and extras are adorable. My snow people will be spending January with our family. Am still wondering how I will ever get all of Christmas put away here.
It's getting colder here in our "neck of the woods" and I heard our weatherman say something about snow, maybe in the not too far distance future.
Looking forward to visiting your blog in the new year.

Happy New Year dear Judy!! Your snow folk are a lovely bunch and will go a long way in keeping the January slump away. Plus, they have a fascinating story! :) Wishing you lots of joy and good health in 2016. Jane
ReplyDeleteDarling snow folk for sure - love their story. I fear I may be the only person in the entire world who has never watched a single episode of Downton Abbey. I suppose not having a television might have a lot to do with that. LOL I really enjoyed this post - it is always such fun to visit.
ReplyDeleteI love the Snow P's and their parents, too...precious! I'm looking forward to watching Downton.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Judy! xoxo
P.S. Magoo says thank you for recognizing his artistic abilities. LOL
Such cute snow people! You are so talented!!
ReplyDeleteHard to believe that the new season of Downton Abby is beginning!! Yay!!
Smiles :)

Happy New Year, Judy! I hope 2016 brings you peace and joy! Can't wait for Downton Abby! Hate to see it end, too! Love your Snow family, so cute!
ReplyDeleteHaha. "Foster Farm Reject", I remember those California commercials. I love your wreath. Happy New Year. xoox Su
ReplyDeleteJudy,
