Annual Grand Christmas Ball

Maybe not George Clooney, kitty. I hear he won't be coming - the twins have dreadful colds and snotty noses. ?

LOGS on the fire, and bring gifts for the tree.

Keeping thermals on under posh frock. Knitted scarf for even more warmth.

Jugs and jugs of mulled wine. Hic ! ?

ice cubes for the drinks will be imperative as will exotic ice sculptures which will melt with the all heat emanating from the women around George.

Horses for the sleighs we may need if it is snowing heavily.
How wonderful that would be.

We’ll be needing eggs for breakfast in the morning so a few dozen geese a laying will come in handy.

Sounds like there’ll be plenty of frolicking around the estate, looking forward to it enormously.

Ermine decorated knickers and a box of Pantyliners for anyone with a slight leak ?

Double cream - lashings of it to swirl on top of liquer coffee’s.

Crackers. In the mood for pulling something. ?

Bold non bio (other brands are available) to soak gowns covered in spilled food

Alas Charleygirl we don’t have chefs here, it’s just Cook and me and a girl from the village ( she does the washing up.)
However,we have vast freezers here to accommodate all the things that Lord L shoots, although since his sight is going a bit, the last time I checked there was a badger and couple of moles in there.

Whoops, must have spilt my zabaione all over it. I'll wear I different one this year.

Zoom party meeting, for those who can’t make it due to snowy conditions.

Certainly Acorn Y not ?
Your yellow ballgown was the talk of the town last year!

Can I join in with all this XS please?

I do not like champagne or fizzy anything so I will bring my own dry white.

Lemongrove can your chefs cope with so many different palates? We have to maintain standards.

Will we have our own Valets and can mine look like Rufus Sewell (or be the real thing)

I shall wear my voluminous velvet ball gown in a really vibrant violet colour. And, I shall be very vivacious - well till about 8.30.

Under footmen.....you can never have too many to lend a hand.
All ours are vetted by me and I have very high standards. That’s why they all closely resemble a young -ish Sean Bean.

Turkey vol au vents, Cook makes a terrific terrine too.

Simmer down ixion.....I have George Clooney on speed dial
( from his days spent chained to the Nespresso machine in The Argy Bargy Bar) so have had a word in his shell like....the result being he will spend a few days here at Christmas and be staying overnight for the Grand Christmas Ball. He is hoping that a few ladies will fill out his dance card.

Restorative massages by Lemon 's renowned assistants

By golly, LauraNorderr you've got expensive tastes
and a partridge in a pear tree, kittylester!

now, where are we?

Quails' eggs in quince jelly, decorated with Quavers (just to bring the tone down a bit)

Calm down Laura. You mghtee some peppermint or even paracetamol.

Maybe we can have a spit roasted pig?
