Author has written 119 stories for Downton Abbey, To Kill a Mockingbird, Remains of the Day, Elizabeth, Cranford, Harry Potter, Calendar Girls, Doctor Who, Ever Decreasing Circles, James Bond, and Call the Midwife. When in doubt...What would Maudie Atkinson do? "I was born to be a spinster and, by God, I'm going to spin." Sarah Burton, South Riding "If your brains were dynamite you wouldn't blow your hat off." Miss O'Brien's character in Benidorm "Soon you will graduate to the senior school and I will no longer teach you, but you will always be Brodie girls." I wish I lived in Cranford. Or Downton. Either would do. I now have livejournal! My name is lavenderteawit, if you're interested. I have just realised that my life currently seems to revolve around the characters that Penelope Wilton plays. Any of them... it's uncanny. Current Shippings going around the old head: Downton Abbey: Carson/Mrs Hughes, Isobel/Clarkson, Cora/Miss O'Brien, Miss O'Brien/Lang The Remains of the Day: Stevens/Miss Kenton To Kill a Mockingbird: Atticus/Miss Maudie Cranford: Miss Galindo/Mr Carter, Martha/Jem, Lady Glenmire/Captain Brown (Return to Cranford), Miss Matty/Mr Holbrook Lovejoy: Lovejoy/Jane | |||||||
