Like Loopylou I'm allergic to mussels. How about a large game pie with honey cake for afters.

boheminan Sat 02-May-15 15:33:10

I'm a vegetarian vampire, so will bring a few magic mushroomsgrin

loopylou Sat 02-May-15 15:28:07

Cider, ale, wine (I hope!)?

Plenty of spring water going free too.

Anybody got ideas for cocktails? Bloody Mary..........?

annodomini Sat 02-May-15 15:24:15

A barrel of mead would be appropriate, wouldn't it? What else did the Ancient Brits drink?

loopylou Sat 02-May-15 15:16:39

Sadly allergic to mussels so will bring a huge bowl of king prawns or perhaps a nice venison or game pâté

loopylou Sat 02-May-15 15:13:22

whitewave I've just spluttered coffee everywhere grin

ninathenana Sat 02-May-15 15:12:26

Mussels YUM ! That's the first course then.

I can bring along DGS to turn the spit for the hog. Second thoughts I don't want him seeing nannie in party mode grin

loopylou behave yourself .. --save it till later-

bikergran Sat 02-May-15 15:03:51

ruby I think Falconbird was onto the music..in fact she mentioned "Rick Wakeman" "youtube" and she went missing for a couple of days! hmm I have my suspicions...oh yesssss...I reckon she sneaks off to a concert..may need to keep eye on Falcon

rubysong Sat 02-May-15 14:58:12

I'll be arriving on my magic rag rug (even though it isn't finished yet). I'll bring lots of mead and Twiglets. I'll take the character of Elaine. There were several Elaines in the Arthurian legend, I haven't decided which one to be. I have other pagan type revelry to attend that day but will be (virtually) with you all as soon as I am able. Has anyone tracked down Rick Wakeman to provide our music?

whitewave Sat 02-May-15 14:55:45

Yes and I will wear a rather fetching little number called a wet suit - do you remember "ghost busters" and the big monster at the end? well!!!! that is me in my wet suit.

Galen Sat 02-May-15 14:51:01

Novel!smile

whitewave Sat 02-May-15 14:40:47

Actually I might abandon my broomstick to get to the party and arrive by surf board.

whitewave Sat 02-May-15 14:36:05

How about a few pound of mussels for sacrifice? I could pop down to the beach and collect them, and of course there is the added bonus of no blood but please don't bring any garlic anyone you know what that might do! Just some butter.

loopylou Sat 02-May-15 14:34:52

RSPCA might not like it either hmm
Bit messy me thinks.

Could have toasts in Bulls Blood wine instead?

Galen Sat 02-May-15 14:31:35

The cat/dog?
Don't think we've had a sacrifice before? Might upset some of the Grans!
They'll be worrying about how to get rid of the blood!

loopylou Sat 02-May-15 14:31:29

grin
Anyone got a cat basket going free for the bats in my attic? I'm sure they'd love a fresh habitat (I know I won't miss them hmm)

Any chance of Kevin Costner coming as Robin Hood (yes, I know wrong era)

[swoons]

whitewave Sat 02-May-15 14:25:07

Well I wondering about a virgin but they will possibly be a bit thin on the ground so I am open to suggestions really.

Wheniwasyourage Sat 02-May-15 14:22:53

That's funny, nina, I have a Merlin as well. Maybe we should bring as many as we can and have a who-looks-most-like-him competition.

Who or what should we bring for a sacrifice, whitewave?

ninathenana Sat 02-May-15 14:22:13

Just had a thought....

I wonder if my Merlin look a like can conjure up a transportation spell for me. It might impress those Knights if I appear in a puff of smoke !

bikergran Sat 02-May-15 14:20:48

lol ninathenan shock

ninathenana Sat 02-May-15 14:07:38

biker 40 yrs ago I could have brought my own but he's more of a Merlin look a like these days grin

whitewave Sat 02-May-15 14:07:28

Only a few miles from my birth place so I will certainly be attending, I shall bring a slate alter for the sacrifice.

I am coming as Guinevere - obviously!

Pomp I need a Lancelot

sunseeker Sat 02-May-15 13:56:20

Can't make it but will cook up a spell to make sure everyone arrives safely!grin.

boheminan Sat 02-May-15 13:31:29

Mildred Hubble reporting in for duty
