Good evening, everyone. I am the new butler - apparently...
I would ask that everyone use the front door - several people are known to be climbing the walls.
M’lady has asked that I put my foot down & point out that the carpets are only for walking on, although having put my foot down, I realise that young master Alex has neglected to tie up the goat...
There will be two tailcocks available this evening - on perusal of matron’s recipe book, I found a section marked “XXX - NOT for general consumption”. Naturally, I ignored this warning & found “DJ Spoony’s Thud & Blunder“. (That might say “Dr Spooner”, matron’s often quite illegible...)
It IS meant to be that colour & to do that when you stir it. The fig-on-a-stick garnish is optional.
You will have noticed that the table is now groaning with delicious comestibles produced by my own fair hands & nuts
are also available on request. There is absolutely NO rat in the pies.
The weekly waffle will be held by m’lady, who wishes everyone the very best of luck - it’s true, she was laughing as she said it. Tickets are on sale in the arboretum from the two comely maidens I took the liberty of hiring for one week only from “Serfs Up!”
M’lord was kind enough to donate the following prizes -
Half a bag of Werther’s Originals
A silver-coloured propelling pencil (lead not included)
A foot pump.
Let the - ahem - frivolities commence.
