‘Tis the season to be silly ( or almost time) so once again am inviting one and all to the grand Christmas Ball at Lemongrove Manor
These shindigs need starting early as there is so much to do!
Lord Lemongrove has been busy testing mince pies and pigs in blankets ever since Cook took them out of the oven this morn.What a man!

There will be rooms for those who wish to stay the night, and
Carriages at dawn for those who don’t.

As usual it helps if your offerings are in alphabetical order, but the more sherry we consume....tchblush
Stay and chat awhile if you want to and if pushed for time just state what you will bring ( then I can tick it off my to do lists.)

Here is the address for forgetful heads and newcomers...
Lemongrove Manor
Much Ado Inthemarsh
Nr. Rumpling in Parva
Cotswolds

Oooh is this a chance to have my hair and makeup done. Sparky nails and wear a lovely dress? Excited.

I’ll be ready to rock around the clock!

Quaking knees and quivering thighs for George or more likely if I’ve got to climb the stairs into the palatial mansion of Lemongrove.

Bluebellwould Sat 27-Nov-21 20:23:32

Panties silk for George of course! Don’t know whether he should wear them or me!

Nutcracker ballet to watch.

Mistletoe - lots of mistletoe.

Lord Lemongrove lolling in the library, looking like a loveable
Lounge lizard.

Knaves - naughty but nice?

LauraNorderr Sat 27-Nov-21 19:07:00

Killer heels to stagger about in like a wag

lemongrove Sat 27-Nov-21 19:04:26

Jam tarts, as the Queen of Hearts ( for the night) I shall be saving some for Jack ( the gamekeeper) ?

Ice sculptures of ice cream.

kittylester Sat 27-Nov-21 17:51:59

Helium balloons ?

Pittcity Sat 27-Nov-21 17:43:32

Glitter and gold dahling!

maddyone Sat 27-Nov-21 17:40:15

Father Christmas he’d better be coming, and don’t think you can seduce him with your diamonds lemongrove, particularly those on your tight sweater. He’s mine at the ball.

AGAA4 Sat 27-Nov-21 17:34:47

Eastwood Clint. He can come as Rowdy Yates. My schoolgirl pash ?

lemongrove Sat 27-Nov-21 16:53:29

Diamonds dahling.... we must sparkle on the night.
Mine are spectacular, or so the vicar told me last week.Come to think of it....I didn’t wear my diamonds that day, so did he mean my tight diamond patterned sweater?

Charleygirl5 Sat 27-Nov-21 16:46:23

My chauffeur will drive myself and my personal maid to the manor- they will need accommodation please and I will bring whatever else you may require.

Calistemon Sat 27-Nov-21 16:45:26

Christmas earrings!

lemongrove Sat 27-Nov-21 16:39:19

Ballgowns! Mine will be in crimson silk ??

lemongrove Sat 27-Nov-21 16:37:31

Argy Bargy Bar regulars.....in the annexe if you please.

lemongrove Sat 27-Nov-21 16:36:14

Z beds ( in the servants attic) for all the extra butlers and ladies maids.)

lemongrove Sat 27-Nov-21 16:34:36

Yah boo sucks to anyone who arrives without a bottle ( and no!
Hot water bottles, although advisable here, do not count.)

LauraNorderr Sat 27-Nov-21 16:14:12

X rated expletives usually get us past this part

LauraNorderr Sat 27-Nov-21 16:13:33

Well wowzers, you can keep him Ixion and the rest. Just keep your mitts off Hugh Jackman.
