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.

Manolo Blahniks - because, if Brigitte Macron and Melania Trump can learn to walk on muddy, tufty grass in silly shoes, then so can I!

Peanut butter - great on sandwiches, in smoothies and cookies. You can even use it in ice cream!

ixion Thu 15-Jul-21 11:22:10

Quiches - with jacket potatoes if it's cold and wet, lovely salads for a heatwave.

Mollygo Thu 15-Jul-21 11:28:45

Roundabouts and swings for the younger members of the party.

Rosycheeks Thu 15-Jul-21 11:57:32

Sorbet for when ( if ever! ) the sun comes out!

Xtra strong hangover pills to cope with over-indulgence

Zingy cocktails

LauraNorder Fri 16-Jul-21 11:00:27

Amber warning so that we are aware that if we enter the fireman tent we may have to isolate in there with all those firemen for ten days.

Scribbles Fri 16-Jul-21 11:08:05

Bus pass - in case I'm too inebriated to drive the Landy home when it's all over.

biglouis Fri 16-Jul-21 12:22:00

Champagne for the posh folks who want to keep up with the Joneses

Mollygo Fri 16-Jul-21 13:04:48

Dry wipes-so no one will see you gently perspiring.

ixion Fri 16-Jul-21 13:54:23

Egg and spoon races.
Should be a hoot!

Germanshepherdsmum Fri 16-Jul-21 14:07:20

Fry-up for breakfast and hang the calories!

Scribbles Fri 16-Jul-21 15:02:30

Gaviscon for after the fry-up.

ixion Fri 16-Jul-21 16:10:07

How many eggs are we going to need for all this??
