Downton Abbey

Take the saying " grey skies are going to clear up", but not quick enough so when I saw the overcast skies this morning, and feeling a bit iffy,  an appropriate answer to what shall we do today ? was  - The CINEMA !!!   no idea the last time I was there.   So off we went and took ourselves to see the movie version of the long running TV series, Downtown Abbey,   personally, I thought it was excellent, had a nice feel good factor, some sad bits as well,  but enjoyable enough for both of to be prepared to go and watch it again.  The settings are marvelous with the location for the Abbey being Highclere Castle, Carnarvon, Welsh Wales.   Just stunning. lots of period vehicles including a number of trams which seem to be more efficient than the current fleet running (at great expense) around Edinburgh.  If successful enough, the story line left enough scope to produce a follow up. 
Pleased to discover that the sun was actually shining when we left the cinema, so a chance for a bit of fresh air before heading off to another RA installation tonight at Currie, my old stamping grounds and only yards from one of my previous childhood homes.
