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?

Or the chaise longue, even. Stop it, autocorrect!

SueDonim Wed 25-Nov-20 13:22:09

I shall be lying on the chaise long, languid in my ladies lounge suit.

That’s if Ian Blackford doesn’t catch me crossing the border.

Killer heels.....mine will rival Nicola Sturgeons ??

lemongrove Wed 25-Nov-20 13:16:58

That’s what caused the punch up Ellan?

lemongrove Wed 25-Nov-20 13:16:18

Jars of brandy infused mincemeat....I shall need some help with the pastry as cook has just gone off in a huff when she realised how many people are attending the ball.?

The last time I remarked on Lord Lemongrove's alligator shoes, he said " they're my feet " and that I need to go to Spec-savers, so I'll say nothing this time.

That’s fine Grandmabatty it does tend to get lost at times
( alphabet thing) which is all part of the charm ( as are your 7 veils)?

Grandmabatty Wed 25-Nov-20 13:08:18

Did not pick up on the alphabetical thing. So sorry. Still clutching my seven veils though

Well I’ve been out , but not out, out, so this will be a treat. What date is it? Because if we need to bring a pudding I’ll need some notice.

Frock is sorted , sparkly and will fit once I’ve adjusted the fit, shoes depends on the weather, probably wellies due to muddy surroundings, but I’ve got a glass slipper if only I can find the other one........shall I bring a bottle?

Incense scented candles and Juniper flavoured Gin.

Hatpins...so useful for clearing away the crowds when crossing the ballroom.

Smileless2012 Wed 25-Nov-20 12:14:36

Ear rings; great big dangling ones encrusted with diamonds and sapphires. Can someone let Mr. S. know please because I haven't got any as describedgrin.

lemongrove Wed 25-Nov-20 12:14:00

Gas ( all kinds)
We don’t have any new fangled electricity here.

lemongrove Wed 25-Nov-20 12:13:00

Footmen ( frolicking ones)?

lemongrove Wed 25-Nov-20 12:12:05

Doubtful Doodle but I will pass on that message?

Decor..... Christmasy as can be?????

Doodle Wed 25-Nov-20 12:05:16

Elegantly dressed in a fetching emerald green ensemble I have decided I will accept your kind invitation to your Christmas Ball lemon on the condition that Lord Lemongrove keeps his hands to himself.........or at least warms them up first .

Determinedly departing for a while. Didn’t mean to deter others. Will return when z comes around again

LauraNorder Wed 25-Nov-20 11:30:43

Canapés, cold meats, cherry brandy, cream puffs. Can’t carry any more than that in my cloth carrier bags.

LauraNorder Wed 25-Nov-20 11:28:13

Big balloons, sparkling above amongst the chandeliers. Bold gentlemen begging for a dance.

GrannyGravy13 Wed 25-Nov-20 11:24:58

Underwear.......definitely my next set!!!

Not sure about outer layer yet????

LauraNorder Wed 25-Nov-20 11:13:59

Adrenaline flowing now, must go and rest

MawBe Wed 25-Nov-20 11:13:58

Zebra ? print onesie?

LauraNorder Wed 25-Nov-20 11:13:14

Zealous, zany youths, still dreaming.
Zing in the punch perhaps.

LauraNorder Wed 25-Nov-20 11:11:09

Yummy young youths, in our dreams. Yellow custard anyone?
