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.

Gates.....I see they have been left open again, Giles ( farmer) will be galumphing here in his galoshes, gobsmacked!

Cricket! Ah yes, the sound of leather on willow -it’s truly summer.

Crumpets ...I like mine toasted twice and a bit burned.

lemongrove Sat 10-Jul-21 22:04:36

Balls ( and possibly bats) anyone for a game of cricket?

Quince jelly-such a delightful accompaniment for meat and cheese.

sorry, wrong letter!

Pineapples make a great display and are so refreshing sliced up with ice cream.

biglouis Fri 09-Jul-21 23:32:32

Tea for those who like it, served in pretty china cups with cucumber sandwiches.

lemongrove Fri 09-Jul-21 22:30:42

Oranges! I know they are not the only fruit....but they are full of vitamin c which we oldies need.?
