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.

Elephants! I know it’s a bit ‘out there’ but since a poster ( you know who you are)? introduced them a few years ago at our jamboree, they have proved indispensable for bringing supplies in.....here Jumbo, good boy!

Getting an urgent update on how wonderful, both ethically and morally, our England football team are. Go boys.

Hurrah indeed.
Must get a bar and stonking big telly installed for the next round (please?)

Germanshepherdsmum Sun 04-Jul-21 13:54:03

Incense to get the hippy types in the mood (count me out of that). Or Indian takeaways (I’m in).

Orfully good weather, please. We know we're worth it.

Peace in the world, must be the low testosterone levels.

LauraNorder Mon 05-Jul-21 09:54:36

Questioning whether all those hunky firemen will be capable of putting out the barbecue now that their testosterone levels have fallen.
Perhaps a German commentator will be able to tell us where we’re going wrong. Just as well not all of us believe everything we read on Twitter.

Revellers waking up, all that dancing has made me feel a bit stiff this morning. How about a bit of group Pilates.

AGAA4 Mon 05-Jul-21 16:22:00

Sea shanties. Always good to round off the evening.

ixion Mon 05-Jul-21 20:38:35

Time to get in with teacakes, so I can bypass my usual U?

Mollygo Mon 05-Jul-21 20:44:02

Unidentified foodstuff arranged on the table.
