We are now open. There are tables and chairs both inside and outside. Coffee will be served inside and all variants are available. Besides the Space Hoppers I have also laid out croquet accessible by both able bodied and wheelchair users.
The small birthday cake 🎂 is for quadruple which is 3 today, or is that 12 bypass years?
Sorry for the delay my poorly heel was being checked!
Enjoy!
So it's a happy anniversary to you & Handel.I also have a small event to celebrate today! Just gotta pop out to a certain shop beginning with 'M' for provisions & will be along soon.
Morning! Congratulations on your anniversary. 👍 Not feeling much like croquet today but I’ll just sit & watch with my coffee. Unless Lezzers fetches the gin in which case I may be persuaded to indulge 😉.
Good morning! Happy anniversary to you and the good lady .
I am afraid there hasn't been one for a couple of years but you weren't to know...
Morning !Michael are dogs welcome?
Any friendly dog is welcome! There are some treats where we are serving coffee...
WOW, she's grown into a quite beautiful lady! Love the look in her eyes
Millie has grown. She's grown into a very gentle calm dog with still a touch of mischievousness.
Oh she’s gorgeous 😍
My raspberry Victoria Sponge arrives conveniently pre-sliced for easy-serving.
I chose this cake in part to honour the memory of the lads who didn't make it home 77 years ago and in part in honour of the men who did - I honestly think the lost men would say the survivors were the real heroes as they came home, war-scarred yet ready to take up their pre-war lives, and raise us - their children. Never Forget!
And Happy Heartiversary!
How did the heel check go?
My late father was one who came home.
Mine as well. May they rest in peace.
My Dad too came home, went over at plus 4 he never spoke of it, but every 11th November he would wipe away a tear.
If your dad was anything like so many of our dads, he rarely if ever spoke of his war experiences. He was also in the Ardennes that horrible December 1944, never spoke of it. After he passed and we were clearing his house we found 86 pair of socks in his press and his medals - medals we didn't know he had as the only 'decoration' he ever wore on Remembrance Sunday was a poppy.
Think that generation were very much of the same mind. Cut from the same clothe.
The heel is very sore but hopefully a bed sore can be averted!
A patch of lambswool makes a very comforting 'wrap cushion' for that sort of thing - did they offer you one or do you have someone who can get one in to you?
That’s a great idea, my Mum ended up bed ridden and we got a sheep skin for her to lie on she never had one bed sore.
Morning all, brought the lemon drizzle cake no icing as per Michaels instructions 😂
I have fished my slice of birthday cake (based on a lemon drizzle base). May I try a piece of yours Lezzers? I have opened up the alcohol free Sauvignon Blanc if anybody fancies a glass? 🍷
Happy Anniversary! I'll be along at Pimms O'clock 🍹Banana flapjacks in the oven.
Happy Anniversary to your quadruple, how’s your heel?
Good to see you 'out and about' at this event, michael. Sorry to hear you are still suffering. Can I have some extra vitamin c (coffee) as I don't drink? Think I might try my hand at croquet, always fancied having a go at that. X
What coffee would you like? American, cappuccino, latte, flat white, wobbly white (Lezzers has had a few gins!), etc.
Wobbly white sounds like fun, can I have chocolate sprinkles on top?
No worries. We also have Ex Lax ones for someone special! 😁😁😁
Thank you for organising this get-together. It’s a cup of tea and some extremely delicious chocolate brownies my 11year old grandson made for us whilst dodging the showers. All the best to everyone.
Sorry I'm late, but I'm here now. Have I missed anything interesting!!! Gin and a slice of cake anyone?
What type of cake is that?
Rhubarb & ginger for me please 🍸& a v small slice of cake. My summer trousers are rather snug😳
I did reply to you some time ago but the comment seems to have disappeared, have I been censored 🤣 anyway, here's your gin & cake, enjoy. My summer body is in storage until next year!?
Yes please!
Hi lezzers. Long time no hear, hope you and your partner are well. I hope there is a little piece of cake left , I'm stocking up before fasting blood test tomorrow 😁 x
Just had some ham 'n' cheese croissants and tea cakes delivered if anyone is still hungry...
Thanks for organizing this lovely event and thanks everyone for sharing. I brought pound cake with cherries to share and bowl of strawberries washed and ready eat straight. Take care everyone
Love my berries as they come...
Oh go on then, I'll try a small slice 😋
Anyone fancy a slice of crust less quiche? It’s M & S & yummy🥺
Any for a Pastel de nata?
They remind me of happy times in Lisbon.
Washed down with Port of course 😉
Hi milkfairy. Just had to look these up, they look lovely - think I would like to try one please. No port for me, though. Making the most of these treats and nibbles as fasting soon for blood test tomorrow! Hope today finds you well. X
Here you are, fresh from the oven.Enjoy!
I am doing well today thanks, I hope all goes well with you.
Could eat those I 'til they came out of my ears. Is it ok if I am a philistine and have lemonade in my port?😊
They are lovely.
I don't think I could possibly comment about lemonade and port being in the same glass at the same time 😂
Is it Pimms'O'Clock yet?
It is Indeed 😊
Yummm - first one of the summer is always the nicest!
What did someone say Pimms?
I’m sorry I didn’t make it but sounds like you all had a good time. I had an invitation to my daughter’s impromptu birthday barbecue so I was busy making veggie kebabs this morning to take with us. It was lovely to see my grandsons too. Just to meet in person and not FaceTime. I loved the veggie kebabs and burnt tomato sausages. They were yummy.
I am afraid all the Gin has gone but coffee and tea are available as is alcohol free Sauvingon Blanc. Can also do a ham 'n' cheese croissants, toasted tea cakes, a few Portuguese custard tarts and a few slices of Lezzer's M&S cake...
Note - we are starting to tidy up now as have to be out by 8 o'clock. Can anyone lend a hand?
Okay,
I'll go and check the loos.Well actually the loo roll situation.
Loo roll hoarders, anti-vaxxers, lots to contend with! ☹️
Should be lots of loo rolls left, spiritofthefloyd didn't turn up, no need to do a count up!!
Think one of two guests might be snoozing in the corner (mentioning no names) should I wake them up or just sweep round them!🤔x
Oh 🤬 I’ve missed it, had visitors all day, How blooming inconvenient and inconsiderate can family be 😉🤣, hope you had fun x
I think people did but there were a few no shows. Probably worried about internet viruses! 😱
Haha, have had a read, it’s put a much needed smile on my face 😊
😁
I just smiled. Someone was send to apply moisturiser to my sore heel and put on the sheepskin protector. They then went to do my other heel, lifted the blanket and looked around not realising I have but one! 🤣🤣🤣
Best laugh I had since using the prothesis was when I reversed the foot and walked down the corridor getting some very puzzled looks! 🤣🤣🤣
Now that’s made me laugh, you really have a great sense of humour 😂😂😂 hope heel improves. Thanks for organising today, great fun.
🤭😂🤣
As usual Michael thank you for a fun afternoon, just what the Dr ordered 😊
Thank you Michael for lifting our spirits once again.
Millie is exhausted by our antics
