While We Wait for Another Season of Downton Abbey
As the last episode of Downton Abbey Season 3 fast approaches, we avid fans are asking, �How will we console ourselves while we await Season 4?� Well, being English, I was raised on the notion that a nice cup of tea can put anything�small or large�to rights. What better way to keep the excitement of Downton alive than an afternoon tea with fellow Abbey Acolytes sharing their theories and questions? Will Dan Stevens, our beloved Matthew, return for another go? Will baby Sybil grow up to marry little Charlie one day? Will there be a Downton: The Early Years featuring the young Violet? Since this last season was all about adapting to life in the rapidly changing world, I suggest a party menu featuring afternoon tea foods that combine traditional English heritage with contemporary tastes.
