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.

Gaming chairs - let's see who can get in and out of one?

Horses and ponies for those who enjoy country pursuits. Does my bum look big in those britches?

Mollygo Wed 21-Jul-21 07:33:48

Iced tea-even if it’s already been suggested, another glass won’t go amiss.

Jodhpurs for those riding the horses and ponies

Kebabs are always great for the barbie along with hot spicy sauce and a side salad

Rest & Recouperation area for chilling out when we've overdone things.

Strawberry Daiquiri - jugs of it chilled with crushed ice.

biglouis Thu 22-Jul-21 16:35:41

Tequila should liven up those who are flagging!

lemongrove Thu 22-Jul-21 19:16:34

Uno ....who wants a game? Warning, I always cheat.

lemongrove Thu 22-Jul-21 19:17:57

Vest tops all cotton, worn without a bra if you dare?

lemongrove Thu 22-Jul-21 19:18:55

Warning....look away now if easily offended ( not wearing a bra right now!)?

Mollygo Thu 22-Jul-21 19:26:19

Yearning-to do the same, especially when DD sends me cartoons like this.

biglouis Thu 22-Jul-21 22:07:48

Can I add to bands the news that the Rolling Stones tour is on again this autumn. I love groups that make me feel young in comparison!

Mollygo Fri 23-Jul-21 07:10:50

Damn! for the pedants it should be ‘May I add. . . but May doesn’t begin with C!

biglouis Fri 23-Jul-21 10:07:41

Exciting traditional rides such as merry go round, dodgems and a roller coaster!
