Widowhood.

I've been called worse than a harpy! My younger brother used to call my violin a vile din!

You're a harpy, Galen? At Tintagel, with the waves beating on the rocks below, we need some powerful music, like Wagner, given the Arthurian context.

When shall we have it?
When we've decided I'll open a new thread for it.

Ill bring my harp. I'm sure I can pluck a note on two that will fool people that people will know is medieval music.

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.

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'm coming! I'll be a bit slow though as I'm coming on the Lady of Shalott's boat - can I get all the way to Tintagel by boat without having to brave the sea? It can be rough round that north Cornish coast.

Hey ladies - I've been gone for a day and when I come back you're arranging a party count me in.

Tintagel would be fantastic - remember Rick Wakeman - didn't he do medieval music and we'll have to have Cornish Pasties. I'll make some veggie ones with tofu.

Going all out on this - going to get one of those tall pointy hats with a long veil down the back.

Can you pick me up on your bike Biker? It's on the way. Been watching Poldark and how about inviting him along as it's going to be in Cornwall.

I'd love to come to the (virtual) party at Tintagel. I've just made a carrot cake and can bring that. Also I live only about an hour away so it will be easy for me to get there. I don't have a broomstick or a magic carpet but I'm making a rag rug so maybe I can get some magic into that.
Can we go into the Halls of King Arthur in Tintagel? There is fantastic stained glass and lots of interesting things to see, in fact it would make a better party venue than the actual castle which is just a ruin in a spectacular setting.
What shall we do for music? It will need to be a bit 'dark ages'.

We did indeed!
I've resurrected the thread
Is anyone interested in trying another party?

This is the best I can do. Didn't we have fun in those days?
(I was Anagram then, BTW)

Oh. We also can chose to come as appropriate figures!
pompa as Lancelot?

Arthur was supposed to have been conceived there.

The idea is we all arrive on all sorts of imaginary transport
Magic carpets
Chariots
Tardis
Broomsticks etc
Those without transport pick up others en route.

I can't retrieve threads
Can any one retrieve the suffragettes one?

Tintagel's a place biker. Its the Arthurian theme that's thrown me!

Arthurian theme? Does that involve dressing up galen? Oh eh did I just say that out loud?

nannier ohh yes we will have to go and purchase some new inflatables lol, it wouldn't be the same without them

Galen I will first have to go and look what Tintagel means (I have led a sheltered life) lol can you remember any of the party thread names so that nannieroz may have a quick shifty, although I'm sure any newbies will soon pick up the sillyness theme, and meet all the alcoholics drinkers ok to my bed now so goodnight all

Should we think about another virtual party? To give all the newbies a sense of how whacky sensible we are?
If so, I suggest Tintagel with an Arthurian theme?

My gawd, what have I missed?

Never mind biker we WILL make it to Llandudno someday. Will you need your inflatable friends?

lol ohh yes Galen it's all coming back to me now

Glastonbury tor when Donald the cat/dog stole the BBQ joint, the firemen appeared and good fun was had
The suffragettes March when someone chained themselves to the railings and the pc had to retrieve the key from inside her bra?
March, March, swing ye along-----

soz missed an "n" out tut!

nanieroz I'm sure in time there will be more virtual parties, even real ones! who knows (just looking at your picys) I'm sure I can see myself walking along the prom! I sometimes look on Google earth as you get right down on the prom.

of course all these parties happened before "certain events" took place....I don't think there has been any since, as it wasn't the same and didn't seem the right thing, but who knows in the future !

Aw shucks....... looks like I missed a good old night out.

nannieroz in earlier times on GN we used to have virtual parties one was on Pendle Hill in Lancashire, one was in Blackpool, think there was one at a Castle or somewhere posh like that (I didn't go to that one, they went without me think we were going to set off on a camper van tour but that went pear shaped, I'm sure there has been more!! they were a very unruly lot and often the police were called too much they were certain culprits of course cant just rem the title of the threads if I do I shall post
