Oooh that book DOES sound cozy and lovely. I do love Downton Abbey, and that just gave me so many warm feelings - the guys and I watched all six seasons together, plus the movie, and it was just so lovely to share that with them. They were pretty young but SO into it. I think the WWI scenes were what really hooked them, but they still talk about watching it with me.
That's so sweet that your boys watched with you. My daughter and I watched together too. You know there's two Downtown Abbey movies, right? The second one isn't as good as the first, but it's still enjoyable.
Love that photo of your birthday! Is that your dad with the mustache? Awesome.
You've Got Mail is one of my favorite movies. (Maybe you need to do a post about favorite comforting movies). I've never read Noel Streatfield's books, but they do sound good. I recently finished reading The Bookshop on the Corner (upon your recommendation!). In the same pile of books was Jenny Colgan's Little Beach Street Bakery (recommended by another friend). I hadn't realized they were both by the same author until I got them home from the library. Such cozy reads!
Have a lovely birthday and although I know you don't like Thanksgiving, I hope it's lovely, too. And enjoy the time with your daughter!
Thanks Anne. That is my dad rocking the mustache. Notice the fancy digital watch on his wrist? He was a fashion icon. But you must be confusing me with someone else because Thanksgiving is my absolute favorite holiday! Maybe I once mentioned that I wasn't thrilled sharing my birthday with the holiday though? Glad you enjoyed the Jenny Colgan books. They are great escape reading. The second Bookshop on the Corner book (The Bookshop on the Shore) is good too-it takes place in a Scottish estate on a loch and is a very cozy read.

Happy Thanksgiving and happy early birthday!
