Anyways, posting under the name Batesmaniaca, here's the story she wrote on Tumblr (please note I kept the format the same as the post, but changes were made for spelling errors):
I will start from the beginning. I am along with my twin sister the founders of "The Basauri Award for Excellence in the Performing Arts" in Basauri Spain.
In 2012, our winner was Brendan Coyle, in 2013 was Hugh Bonneville and in 2014 Joanne Froggatt was the winner. As host of the award we are lucky to spend a few days with the winners, so we can accompany them to visit Bilbao.
Joanne is the most wonderful and nicest woman I have ever met, we get along so well that she invited us to visit the Downton Abbey set that may and it was AMAZING!
We arrived at 10am at Ealing studios and she was filming with Michelle Dockery the scene when Mary gives Anna the "device" to hid at the cottage, it was amazing to see them perform!
After a couple of takes Joanne came to meet us and she toured us all around the set! We saw all the set they used to film (kitchen, servants hall, Mrs Hughes and Carson office, The bedrooms, Tom's office etc etc and we climbed the stairs! We spent more than 3 hours visiting every corner of the set! We met the lovely ladies of the costume and hair departments, they showed us all the costumes and the wigs?
We met the public relations department as well and they we went to the set to see Allen Leech and Lily James film a scene and we talked with them and we met all the crew including the oracle, Alastair Bruce.
We spent more time with Joanne at her dressing room.
We only were allowed to take a couple of photos, taken by Joanne herself!
