‘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

We always have a magician at the Christmas Ball and this year it’s Andy Ands, the toast of Aberdeen what a star turn!

Zebra onesies ....Lord L has a lion onesie and enjoys chasing me up the sweeping staircase when I wear my stripey outfit.
Luckily I can out run him any day.

Xtra footmen in case we run out ( the demand is high!)

Winsome maidens to wait on us hand and foot?

Verily I say unto you all pretty maids will be given masks and sent to wash up on the kitchen. No competition allowed

AGAA4 Sat 04-Dec-21 13:44:58

Underfootmen. Only handsome ones please. No pretty maids either or we may not stand a chance.

?? In other words, you stay over whether you want to or not! Lol

The carriages have warm duvets in them and even warmer footmen.When we run out of room and carriage space then the stables are dry ( if a little smelly) and the INN place to stay at Christmas after all.They also come complete with hot and cold running stable lads.[txhsmile] Enjoy!

ixion Sat 04-Dec-21 05:12:15

Norty steps - and plenty of 'em!

Ali08 Sat 04-Dec-21 04:43:52

LindaPat,

Will that include knitted you-know-what warmers for the gentlemen?
You could make them very festive with tinsel & jingle bells!

Candles in case of electricity cuts.

Matches and long candle lighters, to light the candles.
