NO BIG SPOILERS!!
At the end of the last show, Mrs. Hughes began singing "Auld Lang Syne" as was appropriate for her since she plays a Scottish person. I got all teary as I usually do when I hear that song. It made me want to come to BetterMost and listen to the version that friend Paul posted on the New Year's Eve thread. Then, it hit me. BetterMost IS my Downton Abbey! A place of refuge where people who care about each other share their deepest thoughts and details of their daily lives, the human tragedies and joys, the jokes and pastimes. What a wonderful place we have here! Granted, the costumes are not always up to par, but at least we're comfortable!!
