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.

When dh died we all gave money to buy our organist a' small black organ' to use for choir practice! We had problems in deciding what to call the account. My old man would have approved!

Think the Albert Hall sounds good, and let's face it, the sight of a marvellous organ would be such a treat!!!

My cousin was asked if he played the piano and replied, "No, but we used to play with our vicar uncle's organ" Realised what he'd said and collapsed with hysteria. The woman he was talking to didn't so much as smile.

I think there might be one or two to whom the adage "to the pure all things are pure" does not quite apply..........?smile but it's good to have a giggle grin

Once knew someone whose husband was building a (musical) organ at home. She would report that X had been busy again in the spare bedroom with his organ.

Thanks Ariadne...and not a flake of snow anywhere envy

Dammit, missed it!
I do tea every Sunday for family. Today we had sponge cake with jam (homemade of course) and cream and a strange cheesecake made without flour or butter for hypochondriac daughter.
Best china is Wedgewood's Ice Rose. Also have MIL's embroidered table cloth. I'll come to the next bun-fight.

Why can't I be both?
Humour makes up for the tragedy we see. I don't think I could have coped otherwise
