Now that the rain has cleared away, I have secured a huge field for our jamboree ( courtesy of Farmer Giles as usual.) Bring camping gear, food, drink, and useful or decorative items.
No wives/ husbands/ partners/ toy boys allowed but you can bring a well behaved dog or cat ?
As always, in alphabetical order, and bring lots of things to do as we could be here for a long time.This is also a chatty time really, so say anything you like ( within reason?)

I will start things off with...
Apple pie ( from M&S) as I have a bit of a thing about it at the moment, which is why I shall be mainly wearing elasticated skirts and chinos for this shindig.

Betty’s Barmcake and a slab of cheese. Dare not show my scarred and skinny legs, so shall wear leggings and oversized tunic, which will hide all the wobbly bits acquired over the years.

Camomile tea (joking of course - Champagne cocktails) ????

Devon cream teas for everyone. Luscious jam with oh so wonderful clotted cream.

MawBe Tue 22-Jun-21 12:52:57

Egg mayonnaise sandwiches (sliced white bread-Mother’s Pride de préférence )

Hats! I have many different kinds to wow you all with, but the most useful ones will be a souwester, a woolly tea cosy one and a straw one bought in Spain 20 years ago.

Ice cream, I will bring my portable freezer well stocked with
Magnums and raspberry sorbet.

Kites! Design your own, with any luck we shall have a gusty day or two ( especially after all the food we have been consuming.)

EkwaNimitee Wed 23-Jun-21 15:00:42

Practical me will bring a shovel, for digging necessary holes. Assuming we are allowed to?
