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.

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.

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

Mollygo Sat 17-Jul-21 10:00:49

Shorts or Skorts- essential wear for a summer jamboree

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?

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

Scribbles Fri 16-Jul-21 22:17:40

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!

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

Laxatives - good call Gsm

Germanshepherdsmum Fri 16-Jul-21 19:10:51

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

ixion Fri 16-Jul-21 16:28:33

Jamboree bags.
Remember these?

TillyTrotter Fri 16-Jul-21 16:19:46

Put my name down for a dose of the Gaviscon please Scribbles.
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 ?).

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

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

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

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

Gaviscon for after the fry-up.

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

Fry-up for breakfast and hang the calories!

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

Egg and spoon races.
Should be a hoot!

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

ixion Fri 16-Jul-21 10:31:02

Zingy cocktails

biglouis Thu 15-Jul-21 22:55:32

Yogurt in multiple flavors - a great accompaniment to fruit, salad and lots of side dishes
