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.

After eight mints! Nostalgia rules OK!

Afternoon of lazing in the sun under a spreading chestnut tree listening to the birds and the beat of the music in the background, I’ve clearly taken myself off to the next field.

Crumpets (was thinking food variety but aren’t firemen going to be in attendance?).

Germanshepherdsmum Tue 06-Jul-21 14:42:42

Do we have butter (lashings, wearing elasticated waists for this bash) for the crumpets?

Doughnuts with chocolate running all down the sides and oodles of brown crunch sugar.

lemongrove Thu 08-Jul-21 21:19:44

Egg and cress sandwiches...dainty ones with no crusts as we are all laydees ( I think) ?

lemongrove Thu 08-Jul-21 21:22:16

Fabulous frocks, the least we can do ( even in a field) is to dress for dinner, standards dahling!

lemongrove Thu 08-Jul-21 21:23:40

Gold bling to add that extra touch of luxury and class?

ixion Thu 08-Jul-21 22:07:58

Heroes - lots of them. Both men and choccies.

lemongrove Thu 08-Jul-21 22:25:50

lemongrove Fri 09-Jul-21 09:44:46

Jogging....we need to get into our lycra and burn off those calories ( as soon as I have finished eating this chocolate doughnut.)?

Kit-e-cat as well so lets not forget our furry friends and all the pleasure they give us when they are not scratching or meowing for attention.

Leisurely strolls in the magnificent grounds

Mixing with all sorts of interesting and differently dressed people whom you wouldnt normally meet in your area.

Oranges! I know they are not the only fruit....but they are full of vitamin c which we oldies need.?

biglouis Fri 09-Jul-21 23:32:32

Tea for those who like it, served in pretty china cups with cucumber sandwiches.

biglouis Fri 09-Jul-21 23:33:53

sorry, wrong letter!

Pineapples make a great display and are so refreshing sliced up with ice cream.

Mollygo Sat 10-Jul-21 08:34:24

Quince jelly-such a delightful accompaniment for meat and cheese.

lemongrove Sat 10-Jul-21 08:37:39

Roses in a crystal vase for each tent ????

lemongrove Sat 10-Jul-21 08:42:21

Silly jokes to tell round our campfire??

lemongrove Sat 10-Jul-21 08:48:51

Toasting forks, anyone got some marshmallows?

ixion Sat 10-Jul-21 09:42:55
