On watching "Belgravia"

Okay, friends. So who has started watching "Belgravia" on Sunday nights? I have, and boy, am I glad I did. All I knew about it was that it was created by Julian Fellowes of "Downton Abbey" fame and featured actress Harriet Walter (I've been hating on her wonderfully nasty characters since "Sense and Sensibility" days). So that was enough to get me hooked, but I did not realize that Anna, Duchess of Bedford and her newfangled afternoon tea would be featured in the first episode! What a treat!

And if you have a little extra time for viewing (and who doesn't these days?), click here to watch this video on "How To Make a Proper Cup of Tea."

I'm not going to mention any spoilers—yet—but I'd love to know who is watching "Belgravia" with me? Any fans?

  2. That's a very entertaining little video! To each her/his own, when it comes to making tea. I'm a no-milk-ever, slice-of-lemon-and-plenty-of-sugar-please tea-drinker myself.
    I don't have cable nor do I "stream," so I'm not watching "Belgravia." I'm not much of a TV-watcher. But I'm glad you're enjoying it so much!

  3. If I may borrow; in the words atop here: 'To each her/his own, when it comes to making tea.'; all tea for me with no milk, or sugar ever. No cable either and never stream; well, we have crackled but unsure if this is streaming. More of a DVD buff, and books when the notion strikes the fancy in these times. Thank you and stay well.
