*OPEN INVITATION TO THE GREAT ARTHURIAN GRANSNET PARTY*

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?

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

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

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

whitewave I've just spluttered coffee everywhere

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

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

Cider, ale, wine (I hope!)?

Plenty of spring water going free too.

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

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

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

Only a few?

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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?)

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.

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

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

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 maybe able to rustle up a barrel of Mead for you both as well! so don't worry I will see you right!!

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.

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

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