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.

Comfy shoes for all the dancing and comfy elasticated waists for all the eating (sorry I think someone has already mentioned the latter?).

Bongoes. ( I was teasing ?)

Keystone cops to keep the sort of order we’re used to

Germanshepherdsmum Thu 01-Jul-21 17:28:08

Lawyer (good) to get us off the charges the Keystone Cops might come up with if we fail to keep up our usual impeccable standards of behaviour?.

Mollygo Thu 01-Jul-21 18:42:36

Milk of Magnesia-Mum always uses that for stomach ache caused by over eating.

LauraNorder Thu 01-Jul-21 18:48:36

Needles for those who are not having as much fun as us and just want to knit.
