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.

Whatever it was Carol you'd better find some more ...the rest of the corgis have arrived!!

Annobel Sun 05-Feb-12 16:38:55

P.....ed corgi. That's all we need!

Carol Sun 05-Feb-12 16:40:05

Well I never....I don't believe it! That corgi has just pissed on the carpet - no wonder it's looking shabby!

Ariadne Sun 05-Feb-12 16:43:30

Halloooo! Bit late I know but here I am, here's my chocolate cake, oh yes, a large glass please, it's a bit cold out there. Nice place! Where are we? Just a top up, then.

We're where????

Carol Sun 05-Feb-12 16:46:02

Err...Sandringham. WeI broke in, and then we blagged an invite when a few household staff and her madge spotted us, but she's taking it all in good part so far. Seems to have quite a sense of humour, but I'm not that impressed with the dogs' housetraing. Cup of tea?

Corgi's should be taught to go to the lavatory..

Mamie and Ariadne you took your time getting here, we are in trouble again and we just saw Phil lurking in the passageway. I think he was looking for that corgi but maybe he is wondering why there are so many gorgeous grans rolling around drunk having afternoon tea.

Jacey Sun 05-Feb-12 16:51:48

OK ...I think I'll try some of Mamie's tea ...I'm going to find somewhere quite to sit...I can feel a headache coming on!!

Carol Sun 05-Feb-12 16:56:11

Watch that dog - it's hoovering up Mamie's chelsea buns that she teleported over to us. No table manners and no housetraining - you need taking in hand, Lizzie!

Ariadne Sun 05-Feb-12 16:56:15

Tea? I don't want tea! This is a party, right? What's in that Tantalus thingy over there? I'll have a drop of that..

glassortwo Sun 05-Feb-12 16:57:35

Just got here in time, I think we have been enough trouble this weekend with out annoying HRH wink

Carol Sun 05-Feb-12 16:59:21

Hello glass we're probably getting to the stage where we've outstayed our welcome, but HRH has been quite a good sport. Don't slip in that puddle!! Would you like tea or champagne?

Hunt Sun 05-Feb-12 16:59:41

Can anyone play that piano. Lets roll up the ''antique ''rug and have a bit of a dance.

Jacey Sun 05-Feb-12 16:59:56

"we've been in enough trouble this weekend!" glassortwo!!! shock

Annobel Sun 05-Feb-12 17:06:15

I thought I heard a siren out there...and is that a flashing blue light? Oh, pleeeze, Your Maj, don't have us sent to the Tower. We're grans just like you are...

Carol Sun 05-Feb-12 17:08:00

Well it's been nice, but we have to go, Lizzie! You must come to us next time. Are we ready girls? No, it's no problem going out of the window, Liz - save us traipsing through all those corridors. Scarper, quick!!

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

I'm with you Carol ...sorry about dropping these cakes on the rugs "GrannyE" ...but need to take my cake plates ...*must fly*

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

You done had plenty of jogging this weekend carol wink

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.

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

Loosen - don't know what lossen means?

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!

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

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

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

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

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

Cheers ,everyone. What a lovely tea party!!
