Heres a little Downton Abbey inspiration for those of you participating in Titanic events this year. These screencaps are from the first four episodes of season 1. The main character is Laura, a Lark Rise girl whos on her way up in the world as the newest employee in Candlefords post office. I especially appreciate the interactions between Lauras mother and father, who are obviously very much in love but still struggle with the daily business of marriage and raising a family during hard times. Lark Rise to Candleford follows Laura through her coming of age years, including her first experiences with love and loss, and boasts a host of engaging supporting characters.
