After the success of our long camping trip, is anybody up for a grand Christmas Party?
All of Gransnet is invited, it will be held on the 23rd December and will entail an overnight stay.Usual rules apply....alphabetical order, be as inventive as you like , and as Christmassy etc.

Alka Selzter! ?

Moonlight. I'm sure the terrace will be lit but the moon will just add atmosphere

Dinner services...... we hesitate to use the Sevres china dinner service, so could you all bring your own plates please? The second best cutlery will be provided, and the third best glassware.???

rosesarered Wed 21-Dec-16 21:08:47

We certainly will, we only employ around 40 servants after all.So every Gransnetter to the pump ( although not literally of course, we do have running water inside, these days.)

Co-operation. Lord and Lady Roses will need it!

Adieu, arrivederci, adios, auf wiedersehen - a song to say goodbye. Shall we compose one?

Warming pans... those beds in the wing with the leaky roof are bound to be cold and damp.

Yes, the vault does hold the family silver, also the family diamond tiara ( although of course, I shall be wearing it for the party.)
