Have to admit, since I was on vacation, I’ve been reading total junk. Angels and Demons by Dan Brown, then Size 12 Is Not Fat by Meg Cabot, then A Summer in Europe by Marilyn Brant, and finally Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer. Loved having a week to read!

I’m 4 chapters into Ashenden as I write this. I missed the Downton frenzy until a week ago when I had the occasion to see all of the first season. It has sent me on a quest to learn more about the time period as my Scottish great grandparents worked as housemaid and gardener on an estate in England. My grandfather worked in the estate office of the Duke of Sutherland at Dunrobin Castle. When he was transferred to the Shropshire (England) estate, he elected to leave Britain altogether and sailed from Liverpool to eventually light in Fresno, California in his Scottish woolens. I’m thoroughly enjoying another peek at life “downstairs” to paint a picture in my own mind of the context in which he made the choice to start over in the states. Thanks for the reco!
