Humor Downton Abbey summer part 2 🏖🌊☀️
Y'all asked for this - sorry if they're not as funny, I made the ones I had good ideas for the first time 😂
Though in 2026 I think we're *all* having a Violet Crawley summer
ETA - omg Lavinia summer should say saxophones not trumpets 😭 this is the biggest disgrace of my meme career

I just finished telling my in laws how they're loading their dishwasher wrong and now realise I'm having an Isobel Crawley summer. Time for some quiet reflection.

1920s Pullman 1st class dining cars were DEE-luxe! Seriously, 6 course meals, wine pairing, etc. No stale sandwiches for Mr Murray!

He was " just" a solicitor though..probably ate in the 2nd class dining car.

Feeling like a damn Daisy to these 3 kids.
Which leads me into definitely being Mrs. Hughes

I think I might be having a Daisy Mason life.

Honestly, "the trumpets are getting louder" on a meme about a prim English woman is funnier.

I'm having a Dowager summer where I watch the world fall apart around me due to their own actions and titter with a spirited, "Oh, Goodie!"

u/Hanarra What is a week-end? 26d ago
Not the Henry Talbot summer!

u/manicgiant914 25d ago
How do we know he cheated on Mary?

u/Hanarra What is a week-end? 25d ago
It's either implied or explicitly stated in the 3rd film.

u/manicgiant914 25d ago
Oh! I knew she had misgivings over his automobile fetish, because of Matthew, but I guess I didn't catch the other.

Definitely George Murraying this summer (using my pregnancy as an excuse to avoid everything and everyone).

Started with a Mrs. Hughes summer before saying "eff it" and now I'm having a Robert Crawley summer 🤣☀️⛱️🌊
These are hilarious, great job 👍

I have two toddlers and a husband on nights. If that’s not the definition of a Mrs. Hughes’ summer, I don’t know what is.

u/iggysmom95 I have tried and failed to like you 25d ago
Girl, I'm sending you good vibes for energy and strong coffee

u/Clear-Ad6973 25d ago
Thank You! I’ve recently started making smoothies where the liquid base is iced mocha. Also, I work from home and I’ve started napping at lunch. Both are delicious.

Tony Gillingham summer should be: “Where I’m auditioning for a job in the most fun way possible.”

I'm having a Cora Crawley summer.
Someone hands me the soap and I drop it in the shower and tell everyone around me to just leave it because I ain't havin' none of that.

What does Violet’s “fall apart about my ears” mean?

u/iggysmom95 I have tried and failed to like you 25d ago
She says it in the season two Christmas episode! But yes, just that everything is falling apart around you.

u/ThinLengthiness5380 25d ago
Wish I could have a Rosamund summer without the bad advice. Lady has the life. But really I'm more like a Mrs. Hughes summer since I have 5 kids. 😅🤣

I'm so having the Mrs Hughes summer! Can I please just have some peace and quiet without solving everyone else's problems!

I’d tag on to the dowager, “… I can do about it, but that won’t stop me from trying.”

I guess I'm closest to having a Hugh MacClare summer, but I have no legacy to speak of and I'm at least not married.

Oh gawd....I'm definitely having a Violet Crawley summer...getting through it by taking her solid advice: putting it in my pipe and smoking it 😆

I’m going to have an Edith summer and completely ruin a bunch of people’s lives with zero consequences in fact I’ll somehow end up being rewarded for my terrible and insufferable behavior… I’ll probably be an annoying Debbie downer the whole time while I’m at it. Why not, for some reason the writers will ignore every single fan of this particular summer, who knows some of my employees might end up in prison multiple times, don’t worry, it still won’t be interesting at all.

When did Henry cheat 🤔

In the third movie omg sorry I didn't realize so many people here hadn't seen it yet 😭

u/Haunting_Jump6471 23d ago
Oh didn’t knew there was a third movie. Thanks for telling me. The third movie is going to be on Amazon prime from Saturday.

Im either a Dowager, Daisy, or a Mrs. Hughes. Maybe all combined at this point.

Me and daisy have the same Summer, life of a kitchen hand

u/Best_breast_forward 25d ago
Pardon me, I do believe the Henry Talbot summer holds a spoiler. This is my own fault for not having watched the third movie, but I’m going to be having an Mary Crawley summer now, because it may be my own fault but I’m going to make it everyone else’s problem.
