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.

All the fun of the fair.

Quooker tap. Who wants to wait for the kettle or the until the billy boils, not even Australians would wait that long for a hot cup of earl grey.

Plimsolls - blessed relief from those dreadful louboutins.

Nightcaps
Horlicks - if you must

Magicians to conjure up little bouquets and colourful scarves so that we can wear flowers in our hair and run about waving our scarves in the air as we frolic through fields of corn. No bluddy rabbits in hats though.

Lucky dips - if lemon doesn't nip in while I am posting (again?)☹️

ixion Fri 25-Jun-21 16:47:54

Jamboree bags.
Go on, you must remember these - or am I the oldest??

Kunzel cakes ...I have a large pack of them, hope they still taste ok, the (label says best before 1958.)

You can never have too many, I have found...

I love a slice of orange and lemon cake accompanied by a small container of cream and fresh fruit made at the Criterion restaurant in St. Andrews I’m off for some tomorrow, weather permitting. I’ll bring it along to the jamboree. Hope the weather holds out ????

Elasticated waist trousers for when we’ve stuffed ourselves with all the lovely food and drink.

Beatles albums, hope they’re included ixion.

Albums? - I'll dust them off.
Proper music ?
