Cor, that looks good. Have we got the stuff to ram in it?

Doodle Thu 02-Jun-22 22:29:36

Well we can use poteen for gunpowder. We could stuff it with the left over sausage rolls. Anyone got a match

CherryCezzy Thu 02-Jun-22 22:30:18

Sausage rolls? ? That won't work will it?

CherryCezzy Thu 02-Jun-22 22:31:08

Germanshepherdsmum Thu 02-Jun-22 22:40:47

CherryCezzy Thu 02-Jun-22 23:16:20

I thought it was Vim GSM.
Yeah, c'mon Doodle we're all hic upped on poteen ere and the Admiral is faffing about somfing.

Doodle Thu 02-Jun-22 23:24:42

Cum on all. I think Ixion should light the cannon as she’s the one who opened the Argy today and did all the preparations……plis she’s the one with the matches ?
So cannon first, then the beacon and then the fireworks ………… then the ?‍♀️And the ?‍?. And the ??‍♂️ And the ?

CherryCezzy Thu 02-Jun-22 23:32:20

Good call Doodle ?

ixion Thu 02-Jun-22 23:32:37

OK - here goes. All got your ear defenders?
3-2-1 ?
Beacon, stand back - ????
Fireworks - claret and light blue? - oooooh.

Think we will get the record for the tardiest beacon in the land.

Who's got the ?‍? ?

ixion Thu 02-Jun-22 23:35:24

Well done Ma'am. All that time?
Keep your strength up for Saturday - do come. Lots of fun and frolics

Doodle Thu 02-Jun-22 23:39:19

? ? ☄️ ?

You could have given me more warning Ixion . That cannon firing made me jump out of my undies (well it would have done if I was wearing any)

I think we ought to end the evening with a cheer for the Queen.
Hip hip hurrah ? ?

Doodle Thu 02-Jun-22 23:42:24

Well thanks Ixion for a good day. Well organised.
Just one problem..,that beacon set light to Madam Pom Pom’s frilly knickers but not to worry, there are about 20 ?‍? helping to put out the flames.

ixion Thu 02-Jun-22 23:44:38

Last girls/women/ladies/guys standing Doodle methinks ?.
Night night. Thanks for a brill birthday?
Will be in to survey the débris tomorrow. What's on the agenda?
Or do we play it by ? ?

Doodle Thu 02-Jun-22 23:48:52

Thanks everyone for coming. Been a lovely day. I think we’ve done the Queen proud.
I’m taking the llamas back to the barn to settle them down. Alarma’s in a huff because she wasn't included in the balcony photos.
The Admiral and Captain are fast asleep in the corner.
Thor, Sven and Bjorn have promised to clean up the bar and glasses.
Ixion great party. Do you think we can now have By appointment to the Queen on our sign outside?

Doodle Thu 02-Jun-22 23:50:46

I think hangover cures might be on the menu for tomorrow.
George and Sir Tom are still at the bar and as for Grannygravy ? ? ?
Sleep well all.

CherryCezzy Thu 02-Jun-22 23:51:45
