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.

Wind breaks. May also be used to deaden noise from ocarinas and tambourines and any unfortunate results of all the eating and drinking.?

Laura ?
Doodle....he likes Paxo sage and onion ( since you’re interested.)

Woks! I like a prawn noodle supper now and again.

LauraNorder Wed 30-Jun-21 22:27:08

Vast quantities of gin

LauraNorder Wed 30-Jun-21 22:26:19

Urgent updates on climate change, don’t light that bbq

Doodle Wed 30-Jun-21 22:19:34

Ocarina …….ancient wind instrument………sounds just like me blush

Sorry I digress.

Doodle Wed 30-Jun-21 22:17:26

Tambourines to go with my hippy outfit.

Going off to find out what ocarinas are and whether they are better stuffed with olives or not. ?. lemon I don’t think it’s a good idea to talk about your sexual peculiarities on here. If Lord Lemongrove likes you with olives in your ears, I hate to think what other sort of stuffing he likes ?

Shame on me.
I didn't know it had an alternative - and not very salubrious- meaning?

ixion Wed 30-Jun-21 21:52:19

Shooting gallery- with those cute ducks going round.
Or are they taboo these days??

LauraNorder Wed 30-Jun-21 21:48:01

Sombreros if the field is not in Norfolk

Germanshepherdsmum Wed 30-Jun-21 20:13:11

Raincoats (if Farmer Giles’s field is anywhere near me in North Norfolk).

AGAA4 Wed 30-Jun-21 19:44:53

Quinces

lemongrove Wed 30-Jun-21 19:43:03

.....or in our ears?

Parasols, dainty lace edged ones for parading about in on our daily promenades.

Mollygo Wed 30-Jun-21 18:49:57

If you don’t like the music, the olives could serve a double purpose. Eat to enjoy or stuff them in the ocarinas!??

Doodle Wed 30-Jun-21 18:46:58

Do olives go with Ocarinas Molly? Not sure.?

Doodle Wed 30-Jun-21 18:45:54

Olives stuffed and otherwise ?

germanshepherdsmum my DGS’s dog is as gentle as can be but huge. I fear one tug of the lead and she would have me travelling at great speed towards the nearest sausage or edible piece of meat ?

Mollygo Wed 30-Jun-21 18:44:32

Ocarinas, for anyone who wants to entertain members with music.?

lemongrove Wed 30-Jun-21 18:25:40

Nachos, with a few nice dips, drop by my tent and share some.
?

Germanshepherdsmum Wed 30-Jun-21 18:08:47

Marmalade for morning toast, assuming someone is bringing bread and butter and a toasting fork; if not I’ll add plenty to my provisions.

AGAA4 Wed 30-Jun-21 16:12:32

Limes for all the cocktails.

Germanshepherdsmum Wed 30-Jun-21 16:11:35

Lemons for the G&T (is anyone bringing the G and the T or do we have to wait until next time round?).

H1954 Wed 30-Jun-21 15:49:59

Kiwi fruit to add some colour to the fruit salad ?

Dryginger Wed 30-Jun-21 15:47:09

Jelly to go with the ice cream.

Germanshepherdsmum Wed 30-Jun-21 15:45:22

Hello Germanshepherdsgreatgrandma?! There’s a coincidence! Will you take your GS (dog not grandson!) to the jamboree? I fear mine mightn’t fit the well-behaved requirement as she would see it as her duty to protect me from everyone! Also she has missed her alphabetical slot. Well instead of her I will bring (if no-one else is doing so, lost track? but you can never have too much: Ice cream.

Doodle Wed 30-Jun-21 14:00:50

Halloumi cheese chips and salsa dip…….?

Hello Germanshepherdsmum , I am Germanshepherdsgreatgrandma* ?
