Galen hope you don't bang you head on you parapet. My knickers are perhaps a little voluminous for the said kilted hunk. But.... I do have a thong somewhere in my knicker draw. Iam64 could I maybe refuel at your hovel.
Could give you a lift in you like. Whitewave I'll try and call up another kilted highlander for you.

whitewave Sat 02-May-15 19:06:52

I don't need to remind anybody having a lift on the dragon/dog not to mention the tortoise do I only I can't really be responsible for his reaction.

Iam64 Sat 02-May-15 19:04:11

Thanks whitewave - I'll pop over the pendle hill, just round the corner and stand on the top waving a pointy hat so the dragon can't miss me. Thistledo, so pleased you'll be able to join us and that a very secure dungeon sleeping 35 has been arranged by loopylou for any spare grandchildren. It's looking good grin

whitewave Sat 02-May-15 19:00:35

iam I've booked you in. Do you want picking up from your hovel or will you arrange a meeting point?

thistle could you get me a bagpiper to stand in as Lancelot only I have no offers so far - story of my life.

loopylou Sat 02-May-15 18:50:57

Very secure dungeon so accompanying GCs can be accommodated.
I believe it can sleep 35 and I'll ask Caleb (goaler) to make sure he keeps them entertained, fed, watered etc.

Galen Sat 02-May-15 18:46:21

Won't they be too voluminous for him (ducks behind parapet)

Thistledoo Sat 02-May-15 18:26:51

Oh this sounds really exciting, but schools on holiday so looking after DGC.
Any good suggestions as to what to do with them while I'm on retreat in Tintagel. My broomstick can't fly that far so will be coming on my caber, I'll get a burly bagpiper to pilot me. Perhaps I'll give him a loan of my knickers so he won't get a draft up his kiltgrin.

Iam64 Sat 02-May-15 18:22:31

whitewave, can I have a lift from your dragon dog please? My 3 doodle dogs are good at many things, but giving reliable lifts from the north west to Tintagel seems a bit beyond them. I'm disappointed because I'm currently looking after daughters mini doodle as well as my own 2, you'd think they'd make the effort wouldn't you.

whitewave Sat 02-May-15 17:46:13

He's been moaning on because he says that it takes him ages to get his flame going and surfing will probably put it out, so I got miffed and said "forget it, you don't say that when you are paddling in the pond". Honestly there is no pleasing some dragon/dogs.

Galen Sat 02-May-15 17:40:01

Shows that dog has no spunky!

Falconbird Sat 02-May-15 17:39:37

A dragon, a magic carpet or a whoopee cushion on Biker's bike - I can't decide which transport to chose. confused

Ariadne Sat 02-May-15 17:39:00

Theseus' birthday dinner here, and can't bring everyone. Will try to drop in later with whatever drink and food is left!

whitewave Sat 02-May-15 17:35:30

Dragon/dog has declined my offer of a surf - so if anyone would like to arrive in style on a dragon please contact me and I will arrange for him to pick you up. He has been busy practicing his landing skills all afternoon.

bikergran Sat 02-May-15 17:15:01

Teetime & sunseeker I shall slip a lot few Vodka Jellies under my skirt when no one's looking! I have special pockets sewn into the hem wink maybe able to rustle up a barrel of Mead for you both as well! so don't worry I will see you right!! wink

loopylou Sat 02-May-15 16:38:56

grin
That's the second time I've spluttered a cuppa all over myself this afternoon hmm
I must buy a bib...........

whitewave Sat 02-May-15 16:16:35

Haven't tried curling tongs but heated rollers are quite good, they look like pigs in blankets{grin]

whitewave Sat 02-May-15 16:13:10

We have come to an arrangement - he trashes the pond and I arrange a man to fill it in. Of course no-one must mention the tortoise, I am sure you all understand the situation.

Galen Sat 02-May-15 16:11:45

I've just finished polishing up my winged helmet and sandals and my pet snakes are gently curling round my staff!(have you ever tried using curling tongs on a snake?)

Galen Sat 02-May-15 16:09:06

I thought he was in the cat/dog house at the moment?

whitewave Sat 02-May-15 16:07:04

Just persuaded my familiar to keep me company. He took a lot of persuading as last time he came as a cat/dog and some people made him feel very inadequate, however I have finally convinced him and he thinks that a dragon/dog would be appropriate this time and of course anyone taking the michael will be singed. Just remember his name is Duncan and NOT Donald.

I haven't mentioned that I intend to surf in only it might put out his flame - hey ho

whitewave Sat 02-May-15 15:54:27

That's a relief only I would need some guy ropes to peg me down if it is too windy.

loopylou Sat 02-May-15 15:52:02

Merlin's sorting out the weather, clear, calm and warm without any sign of rain plus a full moon ordered.

whitewave Sat 02-May-15 15:47:59

Hope the weather will be OK as it is a tad exposed up there.

rubysong Sat 02-May-15 15:42:32

I think I'm picking up Falconbird at the Severn bridge. I have put the magic rag rug into the garage for a service and time machine upgrade so that we can get to Tintagel in record time. We will follow the coastline so the traffic cops don't bother us.

Galen Sat 02-May-15 15:35:13

Only a few?
