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.

Iceland - the shop that is, they sell all sorts of goodies for a Jamboree, like lobsters, chateaubriand and gravadlax!

Hand-held or battery fans for all the Ladies of a certain age who get very warm at parties. (Dancing, Drinking, generally getting over-excited at being out ?).

Kedgeree for posh folks not wanting the full English. (Sorry that means more eggs, has anyone already added prunes or ExLax or similar?)

Over-tired: the firemen will be at this rate.

Pardon moi, Madame Lemongrove, je t'en prie

Het spijt me, mevrouw Lemongrove. Excuseer mij, alsjeblieft?

Plenty of Whisky in any language you like and I will only swear if there's non left for me!

Quelle surprise, I’ve got a difficult one again. Quinoa.

lemongrove Sat 17-Jul-21 09:44:54

Roll ups ( either waccy baccy or chinos...possibly both)
Scribbles now you’re talking double Dutch! Is it the waccy baccy having an effect?

Shorts or Skorts- essential wear for a summer jamboree

biglouis Sat 17-Jul-21 10:25:35

Trousers, patio pants or bermudas for those of us who dont have the bum (or the nerve) for shorts.

Scribbles Sat 17-Jul-21 12:35:19

Under the influence of too many mind-altering substances and feeling a little bit strange... sort of floating ...Hey, look everybody...I'm dancing!

Upsadaisy! I fell over and now the heel's broken on one of my Manolo Blahniks. Sob.

ixion Sat 17-Jul-21 13:07:55
