As usual, there will be a grand Christmas Ball , and the invitations have already been sent out to you all, on very expensive hand crafted cards with scalloped 22carat gold edging.To be held a few days before Christmas and the venue is Lemongrove Manor (in England, somewhere in the back of beyond).To those of you who have never attended before,
Say what you will be bringing and a line or two of chat ( or a much as you want to) although it’s alphabetical in nature (although we usually get very mixed up) this thread is a cross between a game and general chat.Dress beautifully please?

Very excited about the ball but first lemon has asked me to get the Great Hall ready. It is very dusty and full of cobwebs since last time.
I have to lay the fires (they're huge) with logs that the lumberjacks, big, strong men, are bringing.

Too many gorgeous guys to choose one for you Lemon and actually I don't want to share any of 'em!
Let's hope Parsley3' supplies enough firefighters to please even you.........tchwink

Secret Santas, I have some off duty firefighters lined up.

Rum ....lashings of it ( for medicinal purposes of course)

lemongrove Sun 29-Nov-20 17:30:28

Quiche....All really posh parties serve grouse quiche

lemongrove Sun 29-Nov-20 17:29:13

That’s good Pantglas ......get someone else to do the feeling,
Much more fun, ask Danni if her guy has a friend?

Pittcity Sun 29-Nov-20 17:00:39

Party poppers so that the staff can curse us when it comes to the cleaning up.

Pantglas2 Sun 29-Nov-20 16:18:43

You’re right AGAA4 - I ended up in the Lemongroves’ Nether Regions and I’ve not been feeling myself ever since....!

DanniRae Sun 29-Nov-20 16:02:31

Oh lemon don't worry about my gorgeous guy misbehaving because I am a black belt at arm wrestling so I can definitely defend myself! Actually I am a little bored here now so I will be heading off for more adventures!! wink

Never take a wrong turn on the way to Lemongrove Hall or you will end up in Lower Morals. I made that mistake once and was kept there for weeks. Pretty village though.

lemongrove Sun 29-Nov-20 15:21:04

Mince pies, I usually ( or rather cook does) bake several hundred, Lord L eats them by the bucketful.

lemongrove Sun 29-Nov-20 15:19:29

Lord Chestie....is he coming to the ball?

Parsley3 Sun 29-Nov-20 14:43:39

??? I need to have a hard look at my priorities Hellogirl

Hellogirl1 Sun 29-Nov-20 14:40:28

Kissing seats for the romantics among us.

Parsley3 Sun 29-Nov-20 14:37:47

Kaolin poultices in case someone gets chestie.

lemongrove Sun 29-Nov-20 14:20:45

Jim jams, bring them if you are staying for the night at the Manor.....it gets chilly here.

lemongrove Sun 29-Nov-20 14:19:35

I don’t mind at all Danni there’s oodles of time until the Christmas Ball here, and in any case, never turn down a gorgeous guy at our age ( may never get another one) have you got your walking stick in case he turns out not to be a gentleman ( or are you hoping he won’t be eh?)?

Tweedle24 Sun 29-Nov-20 13:59:37

Heavy, dark glasses. I am not sure my heart will be able to cope with seeing all the goings-on anticipated.

DanniRae Sun 29-Nov-20 09:47:45

Glad you gave me directions lemon but I decided to thumb a lift and..........well to cut a l-o-n-g story short....... got a lift with a gorgeous guy and he was going to a different party and he invited me to join him.........so I am here and it is a GREAT PARTY.......will travel to yours when this one finishes........but looks like that won't be any time soon.......I'm sure you will understand........ grin
