‘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

I’ll be bringing Engelbert Humperdink as my guest. He’s promised to entertain us with a song or two after his egg nog.

I'll bring along some Feather Fans so I can do my exotic dance......But this time of year I tend to keep my thermal vest ON tchwink

Oh I love that Engelbert is coming along. I do hope nobody is bringing the Grinch!

MayBeMaw Sat 27-Nov-21 09:16:17

Gorgeous George Clooney is coming with me to keep us all supplied with coffee for the hangovers.

Gwyneth Sat 27-Nov-21 09:29:48

James Norton for me. He could also conduct the Midnight Communion for those who would want to attend. Think Granchester!

Lucca Sat 27-Nov-21 09:50:51

I am not coming because I will be in Italy but I’ll have my PA deliver some Ice cream sundaes in Individual glasses to Injoy in the Interval between Irish dancing displays and Illustrated poetry readings,

kittylester Sat 27-Nov-21 09:51:42

Will the be ham sandwiches? And horlicks.

maddyone Sat 27-Nov-21 09:58:55

I’ll bring some jingle bells to hang all around the great hall.

Indiscretions!! Just Loads of them!!!

maddyone Sat 27-Nov-21 10:30:09

I hope King Herod isn’t coming, he’s a bit of a petty pooper, but other kings would be welcome.

Calistemon Sat 27-Nov-21 10:55:52

Krackers - the ones you pull!
(No, MayBeMaw, I don't mean George C, he'll be too busy making coffee!!)

kittylester Sat 27-Nov-21 12:26:54

Will there be kissing and will some of us end up on our knees.............from being knacker?

annsixty Sat 27-Nov-21 13:07:44

Lemonade for the non drinkers, Liebfraumilch for the ones who pretend they drink (ouch), lemons for the G&T’s for me .

annsixty Sat 27-Nov-21 13:08:58

Would luncheon meat be welcome but I’ll bring lobsters?

Pittcity Sat 27-Nov-21 13:32:42

Does anyone want Mulled Wine...or is plonk-de-plonk acceptable? tchgrin

LauraNorderr Sat 27-Nov-21 13:53:30

Nuts, nibbles and that nice Hugh Jackman

LauraNorderr Sat 27-Nov-21 13:53:40

Oranges

LauraNorderr Sat 27-Nov-21 13:54:21

Phew pushed along to make sure of a plentiful supply of Prosecco

maddyone Sat 27-Nov-21 14:09:43

Quiz, we could have a quiz

kittylester Sat 27-Nov-21 14:13:39

Think I'll wear my plimmies - need to be comfy. And forget the playtex. My phone keeps changing playtex to plasters so I suppose I'd better bring some of those!!

ixion Sat 27-Nov-21 14:17:13

Really decent toilets this year, please??

Calistemon Sat 27-Nov-21 15:31:05

Sausages on sticks - or are they too Seventies?

Calistemon Sat 27-Nov-21 15:31:50

Tapas is more trendy

LauraNorderr Sat 27-Nov-21 15:37:01

Umpires to sort out arguments over George Clooney

crazyH Sat 27-Nov-21 15:43:08

No need - he’s escorting me and will be my companion for the whole evening ….
