Welcome again, one and all on this wintry evening.
The fires are all banked up, the Aga is glowing and the warming drinks are almost ready.
Sadly the drawbridge has been frozen shut , so access can only be gained by skating over the moat.
Members are respectfully reminded to leave their skates at the door as the blades would play havoc with the parquet in the grand hall.
There are these prizes for tonight's raffle:
A fish supper. (Uneaten , still in it's original newspaper)
A hot water bottle. (Only one visible leak covered by elastoplast)
Two ounces of pink wool. (Double knitting...different batch numbers.)
Members are also reminded that the buckets in the downstairs conveniences are there for a purpose and are on no account to be used.
Hello Bobbi. You are most welcome to enter here, and this place is usually an oasis of peace and quiet, but unfortunately tonight we have been invaded by the Hoe for the Bewildered next door. So , if you could please join forces with us, we will try to eject them
Whisper nicely to matron Stuckbra!. She keeps a little something in for me - we call it heart medicine lol. Matron - I would have thought that an accident in the woods is better than having one in the short shrubbery. A toast to your uncle coober. Miss meg - you are a hearty soul ( I went in the cupboard under the stairs for one, so to speak)
Helllllooooooooooo Bobbi! Welcome, come and have a seat - ignore her ladyship's rallying cry - tis too cold for games outside tonight. Some mulled refreshment wee geordie lass?
OMG Quick, chuck the contents of the buckets over them. That will get rid of them. You'll have to wait a bit for me though I'm just finishing off this Irish coffee Mamy made for me.
On my way Ladyalex fear not I shall soon repel these boarders as they dont pay any rent. Blunderbus not needed I have my trusty(rusty) toasting fork at the ready
