Well here we are again at the doors of Nungate Towers for tonight's meeting of the Mad Over Fifties Club.
On tonight's agenda, it's a case of anything goes!
The hot tub is bubbling away nicely on the North Tower for anyone wishing to indulge, (the mini bar up there has also been replenished) Both swimming pools (indoor and outdoor) are available for members use, as is the lake where the rowing boats are moored. Down at the beach the bathing huts are open and a barbecue has been set up for any members who fancy a bit of cooking alfresco.
Back within the confines of the Towers, the minstrels will be in the gallery as always, playing madrigals and toccatas, and in the ballroom our favourite local band, the Tone Deafs will be playing a selection of music for dancing.
Tonight's Tailcock the "Centre Court" conjures the Championship at Wimbledon in a glass - strawberries and cream, Pimms and pizza plus a few other selected ingredients known only to it's creator! On our Hot plate Special we have Queenie's favourite, Farmhouse Pasta (we went to a lot of trouble finding just the right farmhouse for this dish) on tonight's pudding trolley, we have pancakes with cherries jubilee, and ice cream. As always there will be a selection of volley vonts and canopies and sundry nibbles.
A warm welcome awaits all who dare enter these portals
Tony, an old flame of mine had two Capris if I remember rightly, one of them was a JPS all black and gold ..
I've owned three nungate, the Mk1 I mentioned, a Mk2 2 litre Ghia and a Mk3 3 litre Ghia. I used to have a Lotus Europa in the Black and Gold JPS colours.
The JPS colours looked pretty good on the Capri's.
Tone, you don't really deserve the choc if you're going to squirt those strawbs with . . . . Fake cream.
I beg you, desist! I'm off for me swim. Somebody give him some REAL cream so he realises the difference.
Queenie loves that squirty cream, she's always nagging me to get some when I go to Costco they do a nice one. I suppose it's handy for times when the real thing isn't available
I shall draw a discreet veil over that last remark Tony.
Good evening Excel, I hope you are well, I'm sure Queenie will be along directly to say hello, she's in the shower just now, probably washing the Danish grit from her hair from earlier ....
