5.32.01...





5 hours, 32 minutes, 1 second
of Downton Abbey

That's how I breezily got through

5 hours, 32 minutes, 1 second

of riding the trainer.

And at the end of it all I screamed and shouted,

"No, UHHHH, NO!!!"

Can I just say,
I didn't see that coming...


And if you were watching,

did you notice,

bicycles, bicycles,
here and there?
So cleverly central,
so cleverly in the background.

But most importantly,

the bicycle was really

part of Matthew's character.

I found this symbolism,

and statement,

quite interesting.

It is this cleverness that I loved so much

about Downtown Abbey.

I loved it so much,

I could hop back on

and do another

5 hours, 32 minutes, 1 second.
And it seems
opportunity shall provide...

I could not stop fixating on those bicycles too! And the dresses. And the hair. And the house. But yes, those bicycles were everywhere. I am just hoping there is a female character soon that travels via bicycle.

It's funny, but the first thing I thought when I saw the big house was "I would LOVE to bike around that estate."

Fear not, I hear that season 2 will be out in the fall. I cannot wait.
