There are a lot of us on our own.
The last party was aborted due to greatnan's death !
Is anyone interested in one?
The venue I suggest should be

BALMORAL

Nelliemoser Tue 31-Dec-13 20:31:35

I have some good Scottish Amethysts and Garnets.
I am just tuning up my pipes ready for the ceilidh. Do we have a caller?

Galen Tue 31-Dec-13 20:34:20

I know the eight some and Waverley

My feet are shod in sturdy flats for my favourite dance - Strip the Willow. Fun but lethal!

Galen Tue 31-Dec-13 20:47:23

Right 5 4 3 2 1
LIFT OFF see you all there!

BlueBelle Tue 31-Dec-13 20:51:28

...my antennae are twitching with anticipation long gloves on, fur collar up, no lifts, so outside bending my knees and holding my arms in flying position, the three glasses of Stones ginger wine should help take off and also my cold oh-er feel the tingling in my toes, taking off -see you soon

Galen Tue 31-Dec-13 20:55:37

Oh! Watch out for the odd corgi, her Maj seems to have left a couple here!
' nice doggie! Friend.DOWN GIRL!'

AlieOxon Tue 31-Dec-13 21:34:01

Hey Goose how about coming soon, the party's starting already!!

Look out for fireworks here, I can hear them all the time..

Galen Tue 31-Dec-13 21:36:38

Oo-er,
Can someone please rescue me from this corgi? She's got me cornered.

glammanana Tue 31-Dec-13 21:38:47

Hang on EnviousI'll just make a quick detour across the "Pond" and pick you up,don't worry about the passenger its whenim64 she doesn't do heights very well and that greenish colour will fade once she has had a drink or two.tchgrin

Galen Tue 31-Dec-13 21:41:25

grin

whenim64 Tue 31-Dec-13 21:48:01

Yoooohoooooo! glamma I'm here when you're ready! Have you got room for a tray of sausage rolls? They've just come out of the oven, but no-one will eat them if I don't bring them along.

AlieOxon Tue 31-Dec-13 21:49:28

Gooooooose!

Charleygirl Tue 31-Dec-13 21:49:29

I may be a tad late as there are rockets going off around me and I do not want to ring the fire brigade if my broomstick goes on fire. I am like Nelliemoser dress wise.

MK is not far from London so no problem. My broomstick is not the ordinary type. I paid a bit extra and have a lovely sofa behind my comfortable armchair with covering in case of inclement weather. Directions are not my forte but I am sure we will manage. So MK, then near Oxford to pick up Alie and then you withany. 30 minutes be okay? No alcohol for me if you do not mind, I do not drink and drive. I have insurance for passengers.

Enviousamerican Tue 31-Dec-13 21:53:49

thanks Glammanana! I will bring my passport just in case I have to find my way home! grin

Galen Tue 31-Dec-13 21:57:00

You need your passport to fly to Scotland these daystchhmm

sunseeker Tue 31-Dec-13 21:58:22

Galen I will help you out with that corgi - they don't like broomsticks - almost there, the hag nav took me the wrong way!

Dragonfly1 Tue 31-Dec-13 21:59:50

Could someone please send up a flare? I appear to be lost....

AlieOxon Tue 31-Dec-13 22:05:09

Goose it looks like Charley is coming this way anyway I have lifts galore but that's ok I will get there somehow so come on lets get going and join this party!

Glad you got insurance Charley look out for rockets - and you got the inclement weather all right it sounds like sleet brrr.

Galen Tue 31-Dec-13 22:07:47

I declare this party -

In regal voice OPEN,
