The Argy Conglomerate

I didn’t know you had a sister lemon!
.. thank you so much though for the drinks and the loan of your paddock for the llamas. I’m sure they’ll appreciate the lush green grass and the space to move around. Could even get a few rabbits and goats and open a sort of petting zoo ..

Perhaps you are sensitive to nail polish or acrylics fumes?
We can always provide appropriate PPE.

Remember we’ve got the Steps tribute band on for tomorrow nights karaoke ..
We’ll need lots of room on the dance floor so let’s move all the tables and chairs right to the edges and clear a big space
I’m looking forward to seeing everyone’s best dance moves
And a surprise return of the Admiral and Mary Rose, their ship docks in the afternoon so they should be back in time ?

You’ve not put that helmet on again ixion have you ..?? ?

Yes DanniRae how about the nail bar. You can sit all day long.
Brook have you not met lemon’s sister? limegrove is lovely. So pretty and clever, graceful and elegant. Wealthy too. The star of the family.
Can’t understand why lemon doesn’t get on with her.?
Oh yes Steps tomorrow. I will wear a very sexy wedding dress so I can take part in Tragedy. ?

I'm not sure. I'll get back to you........sometime

Yes, brook there are lots of us, we are all great beauties doncha know.
Limegrove is the oldest sister, then there is Orangegrove, then comes Tangerina, then Lucozadia, Spriteina, Appletise, then me....the baby of the family.

Lord L adores all my sisters and insists on having us all against the walls of Lemongrove Manor.
Say what you like about the man, he has stamina.

Ribenaria?

It’s so hot today! I’ve had to strip off here in the bar and drink six pints of poteen to cool down.I think I may stay the night in the cellar if that’s ok.
Is Thor down there?

That’s my cousin ixion ( the one we don’t talk about!)

?

Do you miss RR lemon?
Apart from the oodles of money, they seem very, er, different
Old money (and values) versus new, and all that.

Thank you lemon for introducing your delicious family - such a zest for life you all have

Yes ixion....sometimes in the middle of the night I feel a clammy hand on mine ( won’t say mine what) which reminds me of Reggie as we used to lie in our double berth on the yacht ( sob) although, thinking about it, I miss the yacht more!

Yes brook we are a colourful and zesty lot of characters.?

Sure, but you'd have a job to hunt 'n' shoot 'n' fish on a boat.
Or pass round the stirrup cup.
Or host the Tenants' Christmas bash. Tedious, I know, but we've all been there.

.....and we’ll all be there again at the Christmas Ball ? Which I
Always look forward to, so many treats!
I think I lost my head over Reggie because he’s a dangerous man, of course in his own way so is Lord L ( he shuffles down the sweeping marble staircase in his threadbare slippers).
A life on the run is not for me though, so the comforts of the old manor house called to me.

Apologies ixion and lemon but I don’t actually know what happened to Reggie ... or is it RR ... is it something you can talk about?

DannieRae how about you just sit at the bar and chat to the punters. Could you manage that ?
Ribenaria, oh I remember her. Lemon wasn’t she the one who was with Reggie when you first met him?
I think Thor might be in the cellar. Haven’t seen him for a bit. Or AGA ? Are you coming to the Steps tribute night lemon ?

Seems I have a lot to gossip catch up on with regards to your sisters Lemon.

There was mention in the muse mess hut the other week about a certain fruity lady called Spriteina who'd disgraced herself. At the mention of her name, I noticed Warrant Officer Felix Cited looking very flustered ?

Think I'll invite him to the Steps tribute night. See you all tomorrow.

Ooh muse yes please do. Will he be in uniform? We love a man in uniform here.

Steps ?

Are they from Siberia?

Thanks for the offer Doodle but it depends how high the bar stools are as I have no head for heights. I can't chat to people if I am clinging on for dear life. Maybe someone could arrange for me to have a special bar stool with a safety belt incorporated - I'd need someone to help me get up on it mind you. And I'd need lots of breaks - If I'm drinking with the visitors I will need to have wee very frequently! Let me know when you have put all this in place and will give it a trial, or not depending how I am feeling or

I think Thor might be in the cellar. Haven’t seen him for a bit.

Thor down below?
Oh I think we can all empathise
