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.

fanny, if you've no pommel to hang on to, you just grip what's between your knees and give gentle encouragement with your heels.
Always works?

eXtremely strong mints in case we want to kiss the firefighters.

Parsley3 Mon 30-Nov-20 23:34:38

PS to thank them in the proper fashion with a peck on the cheek of course.

Zip lines in the grounds so we can whizz along between the trees, after quite a lot of alcohol of course.

lemongrove Wed 02-Dec-20 20:19:14

Alcohol.....since you mention it AGA perhaps you could loan us the huge vat from The Argy and we will fill it with mulled wine?wine

lemongrove Wed 02-Dec-20 20:21:38

Ballet shoes, if you’re lucky Doodle will perform her dance of the dying duck.Like Swan Lake ( but not as good )
