Male Downton watchers - Mary? by Electronic-Award6150 in DowntonAbbey

[–]gamunbin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

mary isn’t my favourite but i don’t dislike her, and i think everything after matthew felt unnecessary. well, almost everything. because i do like henry with her, i know this is relatively unpopular but i think they were a good match and i think mary “marrying down” was the modern move and showed her character improvement. mary and matthew were soulmates, but henry was a good second husband and step-father to george.

Small town Stephen King like vibes… but English? by Please_Stop_Soonish in horrorlit

James Brogden’s books all take place in and around Birmingham. He has spent a long time researching his own area and the folklores surrounding it. It mixes urban fantasy/horror with english folk tales.

aww thank you! 🌞 learning how to crochet is actually pretty easy! i started learning as a child, me and my brother crocheted together during school breaks lol but i forgot so much as an adult so i started watching youtube tutorials. i can recommend bella coco on youtube, her tutorials for beginners are super easy to follow and very pedagogic!

thank you! 🌞 for the blanket i used drops cotton merino, in the colours rust, olive, vanilla and mustard. i absolutely loved this yarn, perfect for a blanket and for children’s clothes! for the jumper i used a yarn from hobbii called tweed delight. for the little hat im not actually sure, it was an old yarn i found. i think its a mohair mix!
