PPUK party

[Penners]

Well, thank you for those reports - but where are the PICTURES?

I'm taking 5 mins preparation time, to work out how to get the compost to the veg patch over a cup of tea and a meringue.

Is the easiest solution to move the cup of tea and meringue, thereby allowing unimpeded progress for the compost towards the veg patch? A secondary solution, I suppose, would be to move the compost around the cup/meringue - but that strikes me as unnecessary effort.

Seconded.

You'll just have to wait for the pictures!!

We had a lovely time with our lovely guests - Carole, Nigel, Angela, Shane, Jocelyn and Johnny. Thanks all for coming! Unfortunately, the weather which had been beautiful all morning took a turn for the worse just as the party started so we had to sit in the kitchen (circular seminar style) but never mind! Hope Schoolmarm has a safe journey back this morning in the rain to the north-west.

We forgot to take many photos - just these few and I'm very sorry Shane you're not in them - John thought he was doing a panoramic view but unfortunately missed you off..

There is one of me but I'll have to put that in another message as can only put 3 attachments. None of Mr Juju! By the way, we didn't dress up in 17th century costume so Mr Juju will have to save his foppish lacey shirt for another occasion...

Oh, it looks lovely and by all accounts was a feast too - it's nice to see some familiar faces again. I'm really sorry to have missed you all, but probably just as well as I have a horrid virus - fluey all weekend. Chris and family have worked their magic and we do have water though.

Are there any pics of the garden and the attic bedroom? And the outside of the house? And the lovely hostess?

 

[Schoolmarm]

I have had a lovely time!! Food was gorgeous and I have been trying to describe the figgy date thing to Victoria and the delicious spread put on.


Took my big camera and didn't get it out of the car......epic fail so have been drawing the gorgeous windows with the two pane opening bits at the top and brass catches, those teeny windows on the stairs, the widest ledge and brace door I ever saw and a fantastic staircase. I need the staircase somewhere in my house.

Gorgeous fires and fireplaces in every room, that wonderful sideways panelling on the landing and in the hall and the beautiful flagstone floor in the lounge.

I was lucky enough to stay the night, and the longer I was there the more I realised how big it actually is. Very deceptive house.

So cross I didn't look at the cellar as I love cellars and drove my Gran and Great Gran mad asking to go in their cellars!!

The loft is amazing and so are all the massive beams throughout the house.
Thank you so much for having me, it was very kind of you both. :lol: oh yes......the elderflower champagne!! hic!! delicious.

Ahh - sounds wonderful. xxx

Oh, tut and boo, 'Marm! I may have to cut you out of my will.

 

[Schoolmarm]

I felt it would be cheeky

 

[Penners]

Ah - I have no concept of that word (as you may have gathered!).

 

[Schoolmarm]

Lol!
