GN Annual Christmas Ball....all welcome

Iceland delivery of essentials, in case we run short.

Happy hour every hour

Grog for the sailors and some for me (sailors I mean)

Gourmet cuisine here at Lemongrove Manor, and long or short says available for all ( latecomers on lilos in the stables and scullery) though.
Great rooms for gorgeous guests.

I shall be wearing army fatigues and a faux fur coat, accesorised with a feathered fedora; I shall however draw the line at flip flops. Health and Safety and all that.

I will bring a case of Fernet Branca and a box of Freddos.

Feeling really excited - when can we turn up? I seem to have lost my invite.

(I hope the accommodation and the food is better than at the castle in "I'm a Celeb".........)

Extra eggs and bacon for brekkie at 6 a.m

Dalliances at dawn in the deer park

Crooning? Certainly not, no cribs either.

Bolshie guests ( in the stables)

are you making the journey from OZ to attend
Lord L has cleaned out the stables and put a lilo and blanket in for you.
Lemon you're so thoughtful; the hallmark of your popularity; I look forward to snuggling down in my own straw ( I couldn't find a King-Size crib on E-Bay either!), whilst you sit by my side softly crooning "Away in a Manger, no crib ..." etc.
When I shut my eyes Roberta will be , to paraphrase a bit, "Running Her Fingers through my Hair!"

Enough to make a chap homesick; though on 2nd thoughts, keep up with your good deeds!
OoRoo

Zzzzzzzzzzzzz

Yule logs of the chocolate variety for soaking up the bolly.

Xtra lashings of ginger ale...for those unfortunates who have to drive home at 3 a.m. While we are necking the Bolly.

Onto W?
Wellingtons ( or galoshes as Lord L calls them) are available in the boot room in case of snow on the night.

Usually, we have dishes of marron glacé dotted around, Nan,
But your request has been noted.?

Variety of nice chocs on dishes throughout the Manor for us just to help ourselves. I like the ones in the purple wrappers with a nut inside please.

Oh! lemon did you invite any tasty men? .........any men? .......anyone? ?
Unto each his own and there must be plenty of choices (for Rufus) after all the recent culling of Grandads!, but I need to know more about your (blind) taste test;
For starters, Li-Lo lilo doesn't appeal to mine; I 'd appreciate more comfort! And I'd also appreciate an invitation Doodle as you sound really desperate!'
OoRoo

That’s not Lilo Lil is it lemon. Rufus better watch out if it is. ?

Sure.....there will be many big chests here, including my brother Sylvest.

Rufus..... are you making the journey from OZ to attend?
Really, we are remarkably ready and have reserved a room.?
Rooms are in short supply on the night of the Ball, but Lord L has cleaned out the stables and put a lilo and blanket in for you.

Not interested if their ‘buts’ are past it lemongrove what about a few big chests (Chippendales would do.....?)

Question....I hear you ask ‘ what is a but past it?’?
Well, they are a bit past it, and their butts too, I think is the answer.

People! Of course I have invited the yummiest men, that goes without saying surely. All the ships company, the fire station crew, the barmen from The Argy, Tattoo Terence, Steamy Stan, Rich Reggie etc etc.
Plus! Lord L has invited his cricketing pals, his golf club cronies and half the bowls club ( although some of them are a but past it.)?

Lemon has invited able seamen, lumberjacks and all the usuals from the Argy I think.
