sunnyday Posted December 20, 2011 Author Posted December 20, 2011 Goodness - you have made good time Inge D'you think I could claim that I have a 'cinnamon allergy' and join you on the snowballs? Quote

Cait Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 It's an heirloom brass bowl thingmy-bob that we nicknamed 'the bucket' when I was small. I'm just rushing to get the mountain of ironing out of the way. Coal fire is lit Quote
sunnyday Posted December 20, 2011 Author Posted December 20, 2011 It's an heirloom brass bowl thingmy-bob that we nicknamed 'the bucket' when I was small. Phew! That's OK then........right forget the aforementioned 'cinnamon allergy'....I'm over it now! Quote
finleysmaid Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 Finley says he'll be happy to eat the squashed sasage plait Quote
sunnyday Posted December 20, 2011 Author Posted December 20, 2011 Finley says he'll be happy to eat the squashed sasage plait Ah that's good........but what about bridger? Cait - we need some directions please.......we are outside the 'Flying Ferret' (sorry rea - I didn't name the pub......), so is it left or right?.......oh heck Hali's gone in now.......right this could take some time....... Quote
Cait Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 well the oven's on ready to heat things up. Any estimated time of arrival and approximate numbers yet? Quote
sunnyday Posted December 20, 2011 Author Posted December 20, 2011 well the oven's on ready to heat things up. Any estimated time of arrival and approximate numbers yet? Right...well....I've managed to get Hali out of the pub goodness, she really can drink! So, left or right Cait? Numbers......er - well there's me and my boozy friend, Inge should be pulling into your drive fairly soon......er Finleysmaid and bridger are on their way......any word from Panders - wouldn't be a party without her.......

finleysmaid Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 fancy chicken and mushroom lasagne instead of sausage plait...i've made more than i need for boxing day?? Quote
Inge Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 got stuck in that giant car park around Brum.. always get me... will be there as soon as I can.. have to stop off to get my snowball ingredients though.. wont be long... Quote
sunnyday Posted December 20, 2011 Author Posted December 20, 2011 fancy chicken and mushroom lasagne instead of sausage plait...i've made more than i need for boxing day?? Sounds good to me! got stuck in that giant car park around Brum.. always get me... will be there as soon as I can.. have to stop off to get my snowball ingredients though.. wont be long... Excellent.......don't worry about me though.......having established that the mulled wine is being made in a rather upmarket bucket I'm happy with that! Right ....so we turned left at the Flying Ferret...hope that's right...... Quote
Froglet Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 You lot do make me smile! Enjoy the party - I'm very relieved that Sunny's the one driving! Quote
sunnyday Posted December 20, 2011 Author Posted December 20, 2011 You lot do make me smile! Enjoy the party - I'm very relieved that Sunny's the one driving! well I grant you...Hali certainly couldn't.......'fraid we had to stop at another pub for directions - the Hog and Hatchet.......pubs are all that are open this time of night in rural Cumbria....so needless to say...in she goes "a large red landlord"......need I say more....... Oh....I can see lights in the distance.......Cait - I think we're nearly with you! Quote
Froglet Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 Is she perhaps going for a seasonal 'Rudolph's nose' effect? Quote
Inge Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 (edited) managed to get through the car park - well on the way.. pity about the weather visibility makes slow going.. Just as well the food is in a cool bag got all the snowball ingredients, hope everyone likes lime juice in them.. Sunnyday drag Hali out of that pub and get on going.... going to be a good night..
