GN Annual Christmas Ball....all welcome

Zoom facilities for those at home who cannot join the Party.

All ready but don't know where to go? Map please, Lemon, -
I can't use a satnav on my push bike! (Bit of a delay because I can't find my bicycle clips and my frock is quite long. Think I'll have to tuck my frock in my knickers for the journey. Mind you I have my party knickers on and there is a lot of frock and not a lot of knicker. IYSWIM)

But of course......you will notice on the map I sent you a X,
This isn’t a kiss, it’s where you turn right at the crossroads, keep on for about five miles, then turn left at the old oak tree
( there are yellow ribbons on it) keep going for two miles and turn left again when you see a long and winding road, follow this until you reach the village of Much Grumbling, and then take a right turn by the village stocks ( still in use) and that leads directly to Lemongrove Manor.
Happy cycling!?

Christmas cake....to served at suppertime, made with my own fair hands and containing a generous scattering of silver sixpences ( and a few old bus tickets which accidentally fell in whilst Lord L was emptying his wallet when mixing up the currants and sultanas.) Apologies in advance if you choke.

Diarrhoea-relief medication, in that case, lemon

Elf costumes, I think the male guests would look rather cute in them☺️

Foaming pints of Guinness to put hair on your chest. Not you Lemon you’ve got enough already.

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........

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

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?)?

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

Kaolin poultices in case someone gets chestie.

Kissing seats for the romantics among us.

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

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

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

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.

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!!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.........
