You're invited to the Gransnet party

Well done to them pittcity

Stay DS64 you don't need to get to anywhere, your here

What music are we having?

Looking forward to all thee lovely cakes especially carrot cake. What a lovely Idea to hold a virtual party for those who are unable to attend a real one. All in memory of Jo Cox, an amazing lady! Well done Gransnet!

I'm impressed Pittcity .... ???

Hi, hope everyone is having a great time. I have baked a cake. Enjoy.

BBQ is fired up, ribs finishing in the oven , bubbly chilled! I do like a good garden party ????

This just happened in Colchester. The gents are our Conservative MP and our Labour candidate!

Blueberry muffins in the fridge for later... everyone's invited

Anyone got any room left for a slice of carrot cake? My absolute favourite!

Ooh, am I too late? Just sipping a cold drink after planting some tomatoes given me by a gardening friend. Feeling hot!

cheers, lizzypopbottle, I am in Northumberland too (chink glasses together- sadly only coconut water)

Riverwalk read the welcome at the top of this thread? ? ???

Thanks for the invitation. I only just saw it! It's so hot here (Northumberland) that I'm grateful for a get together that doesn't have to be outside! We're all moaning and lying about, complaining of the heat! Here's a joke I've posted before but it's very apt on a hot day like this:

Two parrots sitting on a perch. One says to the other, "Can you smell fish?"

I'm nipping out to Sainsburys so I'll bring back something nice.

Dipped in to say Hi and wish u all well. Can't get to anywhere due to health issues but all have a fabulous time X?

Just popping Tipsy Ginger Cake in 'fridge until it's needed, or cream will go orff in this heat. (Remember, it has to be sliced diagonally or else you don't get the stripes!)

Food related jokes :
I've got a sponge front door. Hey, don't knock it!
Did you know, if a stick insect lays it's eggs in a jar of Bovril it'll give birth to a litter of Twiglets?
(Thanks, Tim Vine)

??So how many of us are here, a shout out maybe ???

annsixty gets my vote too

Hi from Scotland! This is a surprise to be invited to a party on a Sunday. The kindest thing I've ever done was offer to look after my friend's daughter's baby to allow her to work. I looked after him 2/3days a week for four years to save her paying for childcare. He was a joy and the nicest thing anyone has done for me was for his mum to trust me to look after her precious baby.

Thank you for your kind invitation, such a lovely day for a party, am currently chilling with my husband, son and Scruffalo dog, love days like this :-)

Grannyknot no need to feel sheepish, Its always good to hear about acts of kindness. That said, I do agree with others about annsixty, she has gone above and beyond, given her own circumstances.

Pimms, cider and white wine in the fridge, plus I made a strawberry tart/flan thingy yesterday and there's still plenty left. (Homegrown strawberries)

I am bringing balloons and party poppers. I once did a very kind thing by letting a friend of my sisters borrow my beautiful new wedding bouquet of silk roses and trailing ivy for her to use at her wedding even before I used it myself three weeks later. I have lent out several wedding items since but they were all after I had used them and I felt quite good about myself for lending out my bouquet before i had used it myself especially as my Mum tried to stop me from doing it and it was not to my own friend but my sisters.

Will be here at some point with White Chocolate and Raspberry Cheesecake

wilma that's funny!

pittcity and others, I feel a bit sheepish now for entering the kindness competition, was just following instructions .

My neighbour's cats are ready

I'll third that vote Pittcity and NanaandGrampy . Annsixty is a very kind lady indeed.
