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.)

Grape juice

(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?

Hand wipes just in case I spill my G & T

Ice box - to keep the food cool

Jam tarts

Knickers ( and plenty of them....we will be here awhile.) smile
In that case BradfordLass my own paraphernalia was about five pounds and the clothes I stood up in.)

lemongrove you know you never bother wearing any so why would you want to take a load of knickers with you ?‍♀️

Lilo’s. Might as well be comfy and if it comes on to torrential rain they can be used as floats ?

Shush Doodle ?

Marmite, after all, there will be toast.

Quilts to relax on looking at the stars

DanniRae Sat 25-May-19 07:48:17

Relaxing music to listen to whilst laying on our quilts and looking at the stars..........although I'll be asleep in no time!! grin

Starry night to sleep under

Toast- to go with the Marmite!

JessK Sat 25-May-19 11:05:57

Unsalted nuts

TwiceAsNice Sat 25-May-19 11:14:26

Vimto- remember that!

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! shock 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. sad
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! grin
Was that wild enough?

Sorry folks just made myself an Aperol grin!!

lemongrove Sat 25-May-19 14:59:51

Budgie smugglers ( Rufus is already wearing his)?☀️

lemongrove Sat 25-May-19 15:02:44

( your post was kind of wild Rufus .......but there is no car park available for scooter racing, we are in a wild flower meadow , which is another kind of wild.)??????

Campfires, the evenings are still a bit nippy.
