Chris' Fish Place

I’ll come right out and admit it now.  I am not a fan of Downton Abbey.  I tried watching it when it first appeared.  I love Upstairs, Downstairs after all.  But the phrases rip off and saw it coming, keep popping up.  I don’t even watch it and I know what it is going to happen.  Yet when I was at Joseph Fox bookstores (a bookstore where you must buy more than two books) this was close to the register.  I picked it up for my mom who loves cats and Downton Abbey.  I read it on my way home – it really is a quick read.

                It’s Downton Abbey with cats.  This means the dowager’s snide remarks have to do with voles among other things.  Newspapers are put to interesting usages.  Place settings are cleverly arranged to have more than one glass for milk.  It is just the right amount of stupid and funny.
