Gardeners Rest #19 (2024)

[Florence Fennel]

Perhaps the dashing Pompier could be persuaded to wear the costume?

[Nicos]

So now then…where are these sausage rolls I can smell said Nicos , wandering towards the kitchen….

[Snoop Puss]

With Snoop in hot pursuit, handbag in hand. And in case anyone should be wondering, it was for dancing around, not for making off with lots of the sausage rolls.

Edited to add: Having seen the dashing Pompier in his lycra gear, Snoop thought the Santa outfit with all its padding might be better suited to him, and to a festive family venue, and so Flo's idea was a good one. She gave Flo the thumbs up, sticking her thumb through the hole in the middle of sausage roll and popping the sausage straight in her mouth. Very vulgar behaviour. Not something she had ever done before and she hoped she would never do it again. Whatever had come over her?

[rary]

We'll take that as a Bah Humbug then. I expect you needed the knees to bear plenty of weight Rary

You are so right Flo, my OH has me shifting and lifting and loading me down with shopping bags, when they were fitted the surgeon reckoned some one of my slim athletic body shape didnt really need such heavy duty knees, but he had seen me out shopping and took sympathy on me

[lottie dolly]

[Florence Fennel]

Having a sudden bout of the cosines cannot be ignored Miz Spelling, you should see someone about that and get their angle on it

[greenishfing]

Nicos, Snoop and everyone else are now all stuffed with sausage rolls. The ranged from great to absolutely fabulous. I think Miz Spelling is slightly miffed that the free bake off food is not encouraging guests to go to the (overpriced?) restaurant and spend money.

The six bake off contestants had just spent a hectic hour on the dance floor. Captain Morgan and Miss Smirnoff were now collecting their handbags and Mrs Go-4it had noticed room keys changing hands.

[lottie dolly]

thank you for pointing that out FF,it is a condition i have had for years and years,,thats why i never passed my 11 plus,and how i got my name,plus when i type fast my fingers hit the wrong letters or miss them out,the latter something that has recently showing it's self,that is how my name came about,but i did manage to get the first bit altered,it was to be Miss Spelling,but i changed to Miz to try and avoid any embaresemen,see there i go again ,but i would be most gratefull if you would keep this info to yourself,i ment to say is gave me a warm fuzzy feeling,now what have i just said,i take on board what you said,then Miz Spelling promptly put a call on the intercom IS THERE A DOCTER IN THE HOUSE,maybe there is another pill i can take for it,as if i need any more to my collection,perhaps thats why i needed the darkened room tother day,with what she trot off

[Snoop Puss]

Snoop admired Flo's ability to read the sines when she herself had gone off at a tangent.

Anyway, Snoop was rather tired after all the dancing. Not very sensible given that she'd eaten quite a few sausage rolls. Not more than her share, but still quite a few.

Her comfy bed began to call out to her, but she decided she'd be a bit more sociable and take up occupation in one of the comfy chairs in the bar. Maybe have a coffee to see if that would wake her up a bit. Though she only ever had decaff, so as ever she was being a bit optimistic.

As she flumphed into the chair - there was no other word for it - she spotted Pompier Sam crossing the floor...

[lottie dolly]

WHat was that about room keys,i will personally look into that one, a rum and vodka room,
Mrs Go-4it concidering the ingredients for the bake off came from our kitchens,there is no issue,as this is a good friendly place,
i also enjoyed the bag dance,but where was bramble,never mind a good time was had by all

[lottie dolly]

Snoop ,he is not allowed to mix in that way with our guests,he has to save himself for the classes he holds,and you,a married woman

[Snoop Puss]

Miz Spelling, I protest. I merely observed that he was crossing the floor, going who knows where...

[bramble]

Bramble rushed 8n st the last minute...also sorry she said....cou,dent get here fast enough...Oh ,.the traffic, and then zi couldn't find a parking spot.
She was all hot and bothered with her Stetson sliding down over one eye and her boots under her arm.
If you dont mind dhe said...I could do with a stiff drink after all the palaver just to get here.
There didnt seem yo be anybody behind the bar, do she helped herself.
Presently, someone was shaking her awake...What about the line dancing Lottie asked...but bramble couldn't quite get her act together.
Come back tomorrow she said....I sm shattered by all the travelling.

[Nicos]

“Did someone say Vodka?” asked Nicos …..
She’d run out and had suspected someone had been helping themselves to her bottle which was meant for preserving her mirabelles….
”urmmm…..did that fairy just wink again?…was she looking a bit wobbly on top of the tree?…did she just hiccup?…was her nose starting to glow red?…..was she giggling?…no, surely she wouldn’t be having a secret tipple?”

[lottie dolly]

evening again everyone said Miz Spelling,point take,Snoop please accept my sorries,(cannot spell tother word),but i have my special eye on you,
Nicos i have check the fairy out and she looks fine,although,it did look like someone had been messing with the tree,some things was NOT how i left them,so are wondering what that was about,and before any says,it was not the ginger cat i do know,taps side of nose,
