Fascinating.  I would love to see Highclere Castle.  A couple of years ago we were invited to a wedding where Julian Fellowes was going to be one of the guests.  The daughter of my husband's first cousin was marrying Julian Fellowes' nephew.  Unfortunately we couldn't make it but probably a good thing as I would have broken all protocol and thrown my book (all 65 Chapters that I had written) into Julian Fellowes lap and said 'you're welcome to use it for your next drama series'.
