It’s that time of year again, we are packing up and heading for the meadow with all our paraphernalia....picnic baskets, tents, chairs etc and we may be there for some time. No husbands/partners/children/pets allowed, just GN members .....this is our little holiday after all.? No rules, just alphabetical as usual, let your imagination run wild ( we had elephants last year.)
let your imagination run wild OK! Here we go! With all that emphasis on food and drink an exercise interlude is required to eliminate all those surplus calories! How about a Weight-for- Age Shopping Trolley Race with bottles of plonk (unopened) as weights; we'll need an adjacent carpark surface seeing as how trolleys won't take kindly to grass with all 4 wheels tending to go in all directions, other than straight ahead. Another feature race can be the Electric Mobility Scooter Formula 1 dash; Fred and Freda are the only entrants at the moment; so dig around in your sheds and re-charge your batteries! Was that wild enough?
Knickers ( and plenty of them....we will be here awhile.) In that case BradfordLass my own paraphernalia was about five pounds and the clothes I stood up in.)
(and did you know that 'paraphernalia' were the goods and chattels a woman took with her into marriage and, if she left it, the only things she was allowed to take away?
