As I can't go and have afternoon tea with my D Sister today because of the snow, how about a virtual tea party? Pretty china cups, saucers and plates and flowery teapots will be the order of the day. Unfortunately I've only got 6 in my Royal Worcester tea set. I have a bone chine teapot ,white with violets. Can anyone supply some more crockery? What shall we have to eat? I have a cucumber in the fridge.

Not quite sure about the reference to the "marvellous organ" jeni grin

OK, Grannylin? Safe home now. Night night. xxx

The Albert Hall
Lots of space and a marvellous organ. Where else?

We still have the St Valentines Party on the evening of 14th February to look forward to, it should be fun. We have plenty of time to dream up our perfect date for the night and decide what we are wearing. That is if we want a date, we can also come along solo if we prefer. We must decide on a venue, one we haven't been kicked out of been before. smile

Sorry ...we left in a bit of a rush ...blue lights coming up the drive!!

Sorry I missed the tea, anything left to eat, am a little peckish.

Elegran Sun 05-Feb-12 18:43:52

I missed it too - Dear son and his SO came round and we were drinking real tea and eating real choccy biscuits. didn't meet any royals though. Anne was in Edinburgh for the rugby yesterday, she could have dropped in.

Can't believe I missed it, all the GCs came round to play in the snow. Sounds as if you all had a brilliant time. At least I didn't eat any "nice but naughties" as I wasn't there to be tempted. Really wanted to meet you all too. What a shame. Next time maybe.

Grannylin Sun 05-Feb-12 18:29:27

Perfect! I'll have a double gin and tonic seeing as it's diet weigh-in tomorrow and I haven't lost an ounce!

Ariadne Sun 05-Feb-12 18:24:34

Tell you what, grannylin let's amble off together and find a nice pub, have a drink, then I'll give you a lift on my broomstick. How's that?

Grannylin Sun 05-Feb-12 18:05:01

Missed it again...it was impossible to get there from Devon and I had some mini pasties! Can't wait to tell grannya about the goings on this weekend. When is she back from Italy? or will she get back?

Jacey Sun 05-Feb-12 18:00:29

Scarpered ...it was bit of a rush ...didn't see you ...or would have offered you a lift back to kent.

Ariadne Sun 05-Feb-12 17:58:51

Where's everyone gone????

Jacey Sun 05-Feb-12 17:49:26

thanks Hunt ...think next weekend will be a quiet one hmm

Mamie Sun 05-Feb-12 17:41:12

Just sending over some Calva to swig out the teacups...

Carol Sun 05-Feb-12 17:34:21

Glad you suggested it Hunt. I do enjoy our get-togethers, even if they do get a bit hairy every now and again! grin

Hunt Sun 05-Feb-12 17:31:38

Cheers ,everyone. What a lovely tea party!!

Carol Sun 05-Feb-12 17:18:03

Feel a bit peckish now - I think I'll have something real to eat!

Jacey Sun 05-Feb-12 17:16:15

OK ...that's it ...the broomstick has had one too many outings this weekend!
It needs to go in for a service ...that take-off was decidely wonky.
Fly safely Annobel

Faye Sun 05-Feb-12 17:14:54

Annobel I am terribly sure Lizzie would never behave as we do. Her carpets are a mess though, well since we have been here they are. Geeps the cops are here, the tardis is just over the balconey waiting for us. Oh look there is a crowd of onlookers waving. Wave girls as we climb over the balconey into our tardis sorry BBC we own it now. smile brew smile wine smile cupcake smile wine smile smile wine

Annobel Sun 05-Feb-12 17:13:07

Good thing I'm flying - with all that snow on the ground, I'd never get out of here on wheels! Bye Your Maj; bye all!

Carol Sun 05-Feb-12 17:13:01

Loosen - don't know what lossen means?

Carol Sun 05-Feb-12 17:11:57

I think we got away with that! We must include her in our next outing - I'm sure we could get her to lossen up a little once she's had a ride in the tardis.

glassortwo Sun 05-Feb-12 17:11:53

Jacey Sun 05-Feb-12 17:10:29
