Shed warming weekendoooh, it's friday evening and I think it's time to get this weekend party on the go!
I'm just heading off to the dressing room to put on some suitable party wear. And I'm opening a bottle of Denbies rose wine. Anyone else for a drink whilst I'm pouring? Cabbage, how's those decorations coming on? I can smell honeysuckle....ooooh lovely! 
N and Becki were talking about a new game for the forum, perhaps this is the time to launch it?
|
||||
| Kathy |
Here I am then, been primping and preening all afternoon. Do I look ok then?
|
||||
| nanny |
as ever kathy you look a picture
i am here armed with my chilled white saving the talisker for emergencies, you know....swabbing out open wounds, saving people in snowdrifts, that kind of thing - not |
||||
| Kathy |
The elderflowers are in full bloom here so it's time to open the wine I made last year. Anyone like a glass or shall I try it first? | ||||
| Cabbagepatch |
ooh, i do love a good party. just nipping to the bedroom to find a posh frock (  ). Back shortly.
hope you are all going to like the decorations, spent hours this afternoon making the flower garlands. and some huge bunches of flowers spilling out of jugs. they smell divine
lloyd lloyd, my glass is empty..... |
||||
| nanny |
you try it first
the one of us will be sober enough to pick the othe up off the floor |
||||
| Cabbagepatch |
Kathy, you are looking spectacular tonight.
Leonie, is that your party outfit? 
|
||||
| Leonie2 |
