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.

Rain is back and flash floods in some parts! However we will carry on regardless. Anyone who gets stranded just yell for the hunky firemen ...

Peppers of all colours to liven up the salad

Orchids-such beautiful flowers. My Granddad used to grow them.

lemongrove Sun 25-Jul-21 16:40:49

Nuts....plenty to be found hereabouts if you look?

biglouis Sun 25-Jul-21 14:04:14

Marmalade, jam, chutney and other home made goodies and stalls to buy them on. Always a great attraction at country events.

Lurve songs! All the chilled wine is making me a sentimental old fool ?

J-cloths for all that mess,spills and wiping mud off your wellies.

Mollygo Sat 24-Jul-21 06:21:30

Irons-to keep all those tablecloths looking neat!

biglouis Fri 23-Jul-21 23:55:02

Harpic to keep the loos smelling sweet! Nothing worse than smelly communal loos.

Gorgeous Brian on his own will be fine by me, thanks!

muse Fri 23-Jul-21 10:14:16

Freddy please. He loved a good Jamboree. Plus the rest of Queen of course ?

ixion Fri 23-Jul-21 10:10:34

Exceptionally good news Mollygo.
May? I come too please?

(Last seen live in concert 2018. Fantastic?)

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

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

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!

Mollygo Fri 23-Jul-21 07:08:25

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!

ixion Thu 22-Jul-21 23:31:00

Bands -

Bee Gees tribute
Bonzo Dog Do Da
Beatles
Beach Boys
(Please)

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

Audience for the group's we are going to hire. Did we forget about the music?

lemongrove Thu 22-Jul-21 19:41:09

Zzzzzzzzz the heat and a glass of chilled wine is getting to me

lemongrove Thu 22-Jul-21 19:40:21

?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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