Hello, I’m Libbie and I have an unhealthy obsession with Downton Abbey. But hey, since you’ve made it onto my blog, you probably do to. THIS IS NOT A SPOILER FREE BLOG. Tumblr (3.0; @darling-downton)http://darling-downton.tumblr.com/“I was recently sent an amusing picture of a cat, as one is these days, and I showed it to [Maggie Smith] and she fell around laughing. And for the rest of the week it started every morning with ‘show me the cat again.’ So it’s now become my thing that I try to find hilarious animals to show round.””<br/><br/> - <em>Laura Carmichael
