This is my third Christmas without my husband and I was really thrown by the fact that I missed him much more than in previous years. I think the initial shock of his sudden passing is wearing off. I have three sons and three lovely grandchildren - but without "my bloke" it seemed very very empty and lonely this year. 
Vodka jellies, anyone? I'll be polishing my broomstick. Last time I visited Tintagel, I was 8 months pregnant - over 44 years ago. This time it will be more fun. 
I googled Rick Wakeman and he's on You Tube. He made an album way back about the Court of King Arthur. The music is GREAT. Have a listen.
We could have it on big speakers. I'm a veggie teetotaler but I can still dance with the best of them.
I did season work at the fish and chip shop in King Arthurs Car Park at Tintagel when I was 17. Lived in a garden shed at the back of the shop. I made great candy floss 
.
Falcon was going to mention we hadn't seen you for a day or two but then was then laid up in bed so didn't get chance, so glad your back in the running
nannieroz I hope you "Parcel has arrived" it may be vacuum packed so don't be alarmed if it only looks small..when you open it just stand back! a sit expands, first things first is "pat on back" make sure it is working ok enjoy and always keep it at hand lol hand lol...dohhh
Now then ! I see in my absence , a party is about to be arranged 
excitement or trepidation I wonder 
Falcon yes of course I can pick you up, if you can squeeze between the hay bales (needed for bedding down overnight if we are staying) do you think you could balance the big round table on your head as well!! we need somewhere to gather and throw the 
thighs over our shoulders etc, or is that a Medieval theme? oh well whos cares..lol
Galen do you think we could keep the police out of it this time!! that poor young PC was never the same again, and had a terrible time explaining to his sergeant why he had pink furry handcuffs round his ankles!
Oh the "Vodka Jellies" mmm especially the Vimto ones,, sluuuurppp
yes let's put it on the main thread, more the merrier! will leave the invites up to you Galen we need a doorman and security keep all the riff raff undesirables out this time.
anyone got a lurcher/whippet/greyhound.
Chamber pots! we must bring them, (don't want a repeat of last time where all the ladies were crouched over the moat! 
talk about a full moon
! tut!
ok catch you soon everyone ta ta
I'll never visit Tintagel and see it in the same light again!
you lot are incredible
I take my hat off to all you indefatigable ladies!
Galen no rush! will give me time to get alcohol supplies
loopylou best get your R.S.P.V sent back quick! think tickets will be in big! demand now where did I put my inflatable friend "Randolph" and! the puncture outfit, will probably need it once they have downed a few "Vodka Jellies" last time they were doing the Conga with him! poor thing .
My parcel did arrive biker and WOW! its nearly as big as me!!!! Have given myself several pats on the back today. I'm afraid you'll have to explain why we need the lurcher/whippet/greyhound. (I've led a very sheltered life) lol.
Vodka jelly? Mmmm yes please. 
biker is that you organising a party
glass no not me this time, Galen is the ringleader for a change
nannieroz I may be in the wrong era, I seem to have seen Lurcher dogs hanging round the tables, but I never did attend my History classes lol. I need to do some homework on the "Tingernel" thingy! lol, don't want to turn up in the wrong costume Oh yes!! nannieroz one has to also dress up
Best be off need to go As*a for Vodka whoops I mean Vimto of course
