‘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

Soft drinks, for the drivers, we have a huge selection, I recommend a Sylvanian Sherbet.Don’t ask.

lemongrove Mon 13-Dec-21 22:23:51

Roses, I always have a bouquet of Christmas roses .....Lord L is an old romantic ( and he knows he has to, or else!)

lemongrove Mon 13-Dec-21 22:21:50

Quiche.......a very soft and eggy one, to squish in May Hem’s
Fizzog!?
Queer....how did she get here anyway?

Doodle Mon 13-Dec-21 21:40:49

Port. For the Admiral to moor his ship to ? while he partakes of your delicacies Lemon

Doodle Mon 13-Dec-21 21:38:25

Oh no. May Hem has spotted Lord L . Actually Lemon I didn’t realise he could run than fast…….mind you she’s gaining on him.

muse Mon 13-Dec-21 16:58:05

Noise. Not enough of it. Pump up the volume.

AGAA4 Sun 12-Dec-21 13:21:46

May Hem from the Argy. Yes her.

AGAA4 Sun 12-Dec-21 13:20:38

May Hem is going to help out at the party lemongrove. May the force be with you?

lemongrove Sun 12-Dec-21 13:03:07

Lord L declines your kind offer Doodle as he has a thing about the Dutch ( he was abandoned by his parents in Delft)
He was only five at the time but managed to find his way home again.His parents claimed afterwards that they had forgotten he was on holiday with them as they usually left him with the nanny at Lemongrove Manor.He remembers them running off down a cobbled street saying they would be back in ten minutes.It explains a lot.

Kaviar ( I never learned how to spell anything)
On krackers.

Jumping Jack Flash. He's a gas and livens up any party.

Doodle Sat 11-Dec-21 21:09:58

I have a Dutch cap lemon . Will that do for Lord Lemongrove…….not sure it has a feather in it though. ?

lemongrove Sat 11-Dec-21 20:32:11

Hats for all!
I shall be in Elizabethan gear, and Lord L wants one of those Tudor caps with a large feather in it.

Doodle Sat 11-Dec-21 20:26:38

Exciting times for all who manage to grab an able seaman. I usually get stuck with the Admiral who is past his sell by date. ?

AGAA4 Sat 11-Dec-21 15:03:39

Grog for all the able seamen who will be attending.

Mollygo Sat 11-Dec-21 09:25:48

Frillies-make you feel special when you’ve been wearing thermals since October!

muse Fri 10-Dec-21 23:50:24

Extra strong Espresso coffee to keep us going.

AGAA4 Fri 10-Dec-21 17:07:48

Do you think I should wear a hat? Don't want to be too daring.

lemongrove Fri 10-Dec-21 14:55:26

Cor! Is that all you will be wearing AGA ? How charming and courageous.?

AGAA4 Fri 10-Dec-21 08:00:22

Black stockings to wear with the Doc Martens. Very fetching.

LauraNorderr Thu 09-Dec-21 17:53:14

A spittoon for those uncouth llamas. My back is still not right after slipping on the saliva covered Argy floor when I worked in the kitchen

lemongrove Thu 09-Dec-21 17:41:06

Zzzzzzzz... must have dropped off, sorry.Well Laura we can’t all be posh like what I am can we?

LauraNorderr Thu 09-Dec-21 17:11:07

You can take them all out of the Argy but you can’t take the Argy out of any of ‘em

LauraNorderr Thu 09-Dec-21 17:09:10

Sorry muse didn’t turn the page.

LauraNorderr Thu 09-Dec-21 17:08:35

X tra large knickers, really, AGA, I see you can take the girl out of the Argy but you can’t take the Argy out of the girl.
You too Doodle
