‘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

Intimate little nooks to allow for secret assignations with gooey chocolate

Candles in case of electricity cuts.

Matches and long candle lighters, to light the candles.

LindaPat,

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

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!

lemongrove Sat 04-Dec-21 08:17:11

Too much cooking sherry consumed by all....so back to the alphabet..

Queer noises emanating from one of the carriages

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

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

LauraNorderr Sat 04-Dec-21 16:18:35

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

LauraNorderr Sat 04-Dec-21 16:20:15

Where predictive text and all other IT things will be held under soapy water until no longer working

Gwenisgreat1 Sat 04-Dec-21 16:34:09

Winsome maidens to wait on us hand and foot?

lemongrove Sat 04-Dec-21 19:06:26

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

lemongrove Sat 04-Dec-21 19:08:28

Yellow egg nog...hic, I find it irresistible

lemongrove Sat 04-Dec-21 19:11:05

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.

lemongrove Sat 04-Dec-21 19:14:15

Abracadabra, I’m gonna reach out and grab ya!
We always have a magician at the Christmas Ball and this year it’s Andy Ands, the toast of Aberdeen what a star turn!

ixion Sat 04-Dec-21 19:15:00
