Ah, it brings a tear to the eye, look at the old place.It’s just as it was on the day we moved out, it’s a bit dusty....cough cough though.

.....as Ravels Bolero dies away, Thor and I collapse gracefully onto the floor, tuckered out! Still, worth it I think?
A quick pick-me-up of a large pina colada and we will be good to go.....what’s next? Is that the chicken song I hear?
You all look.....amazing btw Lins all that black lace, did you come as a Goth? As for you Doodle you have really pulled out all the stops in that red thing with feathers ( did you run over a pheasant on the way here?) Am impressed by Soop’s date tonight, he of the big fedora, as you rarely see castanets that size!
Carillion you tried dear, but did you know your mini dress is caught up in your knickers? I think that’s why the Captain is so attracted to you, get your coat, you’ve pulled.
So, tonight lemon, after that Strictly Strutt is that how you've bagged Antonio Banderas??
Can I have a go at DJ ing the karaoke...? Pleaseeese. Bet Doodle gets the job ...(walks off sulkily, but with nice shoes...??????)
I got a job lot down the market lemon. I think my mantilla is very fetching don't you, very alluring. I'm waiting for them to play Spanish Eyes to put it to good effect.
By the way it's a good spread Doodle, we'd better grab a plate before the late night showing of the Spanish Riding School's antics, I will have to loosen my stays first though. I found a couple of bottles of the good Rioja under some sacking in the cellar, which turned out to be soop and some matador called Fred.
Antonio Banderas? That's Manuel from Fawlty Towers, put your ? On Carillion
What a night. lemon you outdid yourself. Who new the tango could be so.......explicit. I’ve never seen it performed quite like that before. That bit where Thor was spinning you round the room with your legs wrapped round his neck was quite exceptional especially when your dress went up round your head. We certainly weren’t expecting that view as a finale. ?
carillion please take over being DJ. I think it will take me a while to get over lemon’s performance and I need a stiff drink.
lins be careful will you. I know you said you had to loosen your stays but there’s an awful lot of you hanging out the front now. That chap on one of the horses can’t take his eyes off your ......neckline and his horse has gone all a quiver too.
carillion quick put on some soothing music to calm the horse down...... yes I suppose that will do.....not quite what I had in mind but still....... ok everyone, sing along now , all together ... ? ? Didn’t we have a jolly good time the day we went to Bangor. ? ?
Lins It's all a bit of a blur. One minute I was having a snuggle under Fredrico's fedora and then...everything went hazy. I had no idea Fred was a matador. I would have taken him to the local cattle market and locked him away with the prize bulls who were looking to let off pent-upped steam. That's done it! No way will I have further ados with a matador. He's most def scratched off my best date ever list. Make mine a quadruple tequila!
Far be it for me to say I told you so soop ?, but if you will let yourself be carried away (quite literally) by the size of Fred's fed.......... No tequila for you for a while, you need a detox. Anyway the bottle's disappeared, I think lemon took it by mistake, she was looking for the Deep Heat.
I've hosed the bar down with Jeyes Fluid, those horses d'ouvres don't half pong. You may want to check your shoes Carillion!
Haha Doodle....I have become a Youtube sensation ( not sure how that happened)? the finale was quite something wasn’t it, I didn’t realise how limber I was at the time, but am in a bad way now.....groan.
Yes Lins I couldn’t locate the Deep Heat but find that a bottle of tequila does the job ( taken internally.)
Cor! Wotta mess everywhere and I am far too frail today to do any cleaning up, hmmm oh DOOOOOODLE will you do it please? Am off for a quick lie down.
Carillion ...close, but his name is actually Tony Badass.
I always know where to come when I need tequila tea and sympathy.
Why am I always left to do the clearing up sigh.?
soop I told you a man with a big fedora would be no good for you. I’ve stated cleaning the kitchen so you can come and cook for next Friday’s theme party.
Any ideas what we can do? Something where lemon doesn’t share her ...unmentionables with the www! ?
I'll send DH to clear up after he's finished in our kitchen, Doodle, while I lounge around watching Glastonbury.
Come and watch with me
Oh what a great idea callistemon I will be over with a bottle or five right away?
Callistemon, Glastonbury??
You’re such a hippie...?♂️
I’m on my way with Doodle... I’ll bring the (strangely scented) delish, small sponge cakes
Callistemon get your hippy ass into the kitchen and clear up the mess that Soop made .....there’s white powder everywhere ( flour??) If you want to wear a flower in your rather wild hair there are some dandelions out in the back yard.
Dandelion = pis-en-lit?
Not bloomin' likely after all that gin!
Yellow's not my colour, anyway.
By golly, what a mess. In here I mean, not Glasto
Where's my Marigolds?
In your hair!?
Ok lemon I’ll help out (well I see Thor is tidying behind the bar so I’ll give him a hand ?)
Got a great idea for next Friday’s theme night. Glasto night. We can all come as hippies and go mad with flower power.
soop can make more of her cakes. She told me she uses plants from her garden to make them. Can’t think what they could be.?
Well, she calls them ‘happy flowers’ and has a whole greenhouse and polytunnel filled with them.☀️?
Well they certainly were nice cakes........from what I can remember ?
Okay! You win. I shall harvest the appropriate plants from the polytunnel (the name of which escapes me) and pummel the best bits into a fine ingredient for my next batch of cakes. Some way through the baking of which, I may have a funny turn - a psychedelic experience, some would call it. My knees buckle and I find myself seated on the kitchen floor, staring wide-eyed through the glass oven door as the cakes rise to new heights. It's like a dose of magic. Naturally, when I'm capable, I shall share with you.
Flipping hec
My head is aching already ..... and now since I got on YouTube my Glastonbury cake recipe is going to fund my cruise with badass.
(sorry lemongrove but I’m borrowing him for a few ......tasting sessions)
What’s next Friday’s theme Doodle?
Soop ?that’s either the tequila or old age ( you pays yer money and yer takes yer choice)....I find myself on the floor from time to time so can sympathise ( must take more water with it.)
Don’t ask Doodle about this Friday’s theme or who knows what it will be?
In fact I am getting in first and claiming we have a Welsh Nite as we have had Irish and Scottish and our Welsh pals will be feeling left out.I am off to find myself a pointy hat and a lace pinny and to brush up on Welsh conversation.We could have A Tom Jones tribute act!
