Houston, we have a problem.........

[zazen999]

No swapsies here Jackie, just bring it along to the tea party - its gonna be the bizarrest (yes, its a word) party I've ever been to...

I'd love to agree, but I've been to some pretty bizarre parties in my time.....

[HayleyB]

Ther winter party was truly bizarre........

I can bring along loads of plums and we'll get Zazen to teach us all how to make jam

[Scottishnewbie]

do'y'know, I absolutely adore this forum! I've gone from being truly hacked off and feeling overwhelmed today to having a good old laugh and feeling like it's not really that big a deal after all. Thanks grapes xx

The only thing I'd change would be the ability to bring us all together for real for this magnificent tea party! Can I bring the coconut cake and the frozen mint syrup?

SN

[shirlthegirl43]

...frozen mint syrup?

SN

Hmm, I am intrigued

[zazen999]

Can I bring the coconut cake and the frozen mint syrup?

SN

No, bring some normal cake and pimms. Some people

We can all go out onto my decking and annoy the 'lady' at no 6......

When the rain and hail stops, that is.....and you can all admire my Fat Bang chillis.......

[Scottishnewbie]

Hmm, I am intrigued

flushed with the success of my family beena cordial (river cottage book), I decided to make this, allegedly, delightful mint syrup.........fairly average..didn't think we'd use it before it went off so stuck it in ice cube tray in the freezer...it's actually quite good (well actually OK-ish!), chucked in things like martini....wouldnt make it again though....but thought it would be a good addition to a "bizarre" tea party!!!

[shirlthegirl43]

Hmm, definately sounds 'different'

[HayleyB]

Oooooh it can go in the Pimms.......

What on earth has the lady at number 6 done to upset Zazen mewonders......

[zazen999]

What hasn't she done - silly mare.

Putting a pic of my decking on her right move page didn't help.....then having a go at me for wanting it removed [how silly of me, I didn't want my own canalside decking anyway....] but the best thing was shouting at my photographer friends when they came to visit and were were all in MY OWN garden.....the path to the canalside garden goes past all our back gates so she started shouting at them!! Hilarious.


I have family coming on Sat so was going to pop round and ask her if it was ok for me to take my own family to my own garden, as I didn't want to upset her by walking down the shared path without her permission!!! I was going to mention her telling my friends that they would have been happier if they had notice [that someone was walking down path....ffs]....and if she was ok with just the 3 days notice - would that possibly be in keeping with the procedures that she has obviously drawn up on walking down shared paths....

But then again, watching her and her OH get steamed up is quite amusing.

[LostGoddess]

LOL! sounds like quite a party, can I come? *looking round kitchen for food/drinks stuffs to offload.. ahem, sorry, bring with me* I do have a shed load of elderflower cordial as it happens but I can bring vodka if it sweetens the deal. I would bring what's left of my elderflower champagne, but the last poor recipient of a bottle got as far as the roundabout before it exploded in his van!

[HayleyB]

Sounds like Zazen needs cooling down, ice cold vodka should do it

[Pumpkin Becki]

...has anyone told Piskie we're coming?

[Scottishnewbie]

I did, via her jar thread......think Zazen might be in trouble for not telling her!!

Zazen - do you want to borrow my nawty step?

[zazen999]

Yes please; I can't see Piskie letting me off it for quite some time.

[HayleyB]

I'm not sure if I'm still on the Norty Step or not
