Im getting old, decrepit and forgetful.
Have we ever had a party at Stonehenge
Or if we did was it one I was so pissed preoccupied at that I've forgotten?

Anagram Thu 21-Jun-12 18:44:57

Yes, we did, definitely! (Not that I can remember much about it....confused)

Annobel Thu 21-Jun-12 19:04:06

Ah so that rules that out!
Feel we ought to have a party to wellcome the 'summer'!

But where and theme?

nelliedeane Thu 21-Jun-12 19:14:50

Woohoo party !!!!

nelliedeane Thu 21-Jun-12 19:16:02

Tonight is the summer solstice longest day of the year....what better time than tonight......

jeni Thu 21-Jun-12 19:20:38

Technically that was yesterday, but this is GN so I suppose time is virtual as well. I think tomorrow would be better, so people have time to prepare.
Sunset over the acropolis in Athens might be nice! We could come as Greek gods and goddesses.

We might as well use the acropolis before Greece sells it to Germany to pay its debts!.

Litha! It's a pagan festival but what the hell:

"In days long ago the rites of Litha were boisterous communal affairs with Morris dancing, singing, storytelling and feasting all taking place in the village."

Sounds like us! For "village" read GN.

Boisterous? Us? So where?

Ariadne Thu 21-Jun-12 19:21:24

Avebury!Just up the road from Stonehenge. I think.

jeni Thu 21-Jun-12 19:22:08

*ariadne you are already a Greek character.

Bring brollies and wellies and wine. Not sure about cupcake as they may get soggy in all the rain. We won't let a little bit of rain put us off will we ?

jeni Thu 21-Jun-12 19:23:31

No way! So Avebury it is!

jeni Thu 21-Jun-12 19:24:17

Pagan gods and goddesses. Bags I sol Minerva!

nelliedeane Thu 21-Jun-12 19:28:12

Litha sounds like us.with their rites and story telling....

Anagram Thu 21-Jun-12 19:30:36

Rites, nellie? confused
I don't remember having any of those...

Anagram Thu 21-Jun-12 19:30:58

I demand my rites! grin

jeni Thu 21-Jun-12 19:33:53

So tomorrow?

Spread it around ladies. Infiltrate the sites (but not the serious debates. We don't want to upset anyone)

I'm for an early night in preparation. I also have to pop into Bath to refresh my me,pry of Sol Minerva.

merlotgran Thu 21-Jun-12 19:41:23

Shortest night, longest day,
Blessed Litha comes to stay.

OK, it was yesterday but who cares?

nelliedeane Thu 21-Jun-12 19:46:27

Where's the Olympic torch at the moment? We need something to light the
barbecue bonfire.

Anagram Thu 21-Jun-12 20:12:58

glassortwo Thu 21-Jun-12 20:24:37
