Gardeners Rest #19 (2024)

[Snoop Puss]

"Well, we could", replied Snoop, rousing herself from her slumbers. "How about exploring the attic, see what's hidden up there?"

[Nicos]

They crept up the stairs and slowly opened the door to the one room from which the decorators had been forbidden to enter.
There, in the corner was another door, half hidden by a wardrobe. Squeezing their way into the space they suddenly realised they’d entered the Tardis
Looking at the Ship’s Log it appeared the previous two journeys had been to Lilliput and Brobdingnag ( the land of tiny people and then of Giants)
Is THAT where the giant spoon had come from…and the never ending supply of vegetables….

[Snoop Puss]

"Quick, let's get out of here", Rary hissed. "Next thing you know, we'll find the panto horse costume and I'm of the understanding there will be no panto business this year, or at least I won't be either the front or rear of the horse."

"Agreed", Snoop replied.

As they turned, there in the doorway was...

[lottie dolly]

Miz Spelling again,doing what she does best(not putting letters in the correct order)Rary said she,i bet the spoon was to dig somethih up in the garden,it certainly would not have been used on you,as as i am sure you were a very,very good boy,unlesss it was she made sure something was on hand to put food in your mouth as she was very busy,and whats that about getting the attic,another one after compo,and not from Yourshire,you could have come threw the ceiling,and as for that word Bron========,i cannot pronounce it yet alone spell it,Snoop/Rary,the horse costume had to be chucked out,as the moths had got to it,other wise .......

[Snoop Puss]

"Phew", said Rary. "That costume was rather bouffin last time I had to wear it."

Miz Spelling and Snoop both looked at each other. Bouffin was obvious in context but neither had heard the word before. One perhaps to remember in case Mothhawk decided to add it to her Winter Dictionary.

"Well, that's good news", said Snoop. "But did you know the Tardis was up here, Miz Spelling? I mean it's Lilliputian on the outside, so feasible to get it up here, but it's positively Brobdingnagian on the inside. There could be a passel of rodents in here. Do you think Nicos had a hand in hiding it?"

[lottie dolly]

MY mind is boggoling said Miz Spelling,littltardis and lilyput,i think maybe they have been hidden up there for several years,possibly from a robbery,as for for what you all thought,it's the booze talking,
Hwe did the bake off go Mrs Go-4it,
Not many about just now,they must be their rooms getting ready for this evenings Disco Dance,in addition to the band will be a DJ,MR Boogy Man,all drinks will be half price this evening,than once again she does a wry smile at the tree fairy as she nods her head knowingly, as she leaves the room,as she also must get tarted up and she tries to remember if she had packed her long twinkly eye lashes and and the lipy that stays put

[Florence Fennel]

All this talk of Lilliput and Lippy staying put has Flo making a Swift exit to the library in a somewhat hysterical mood. She was also looking for the Ginger Tom, who seemed to have disappeared.

[lottie dolly]

Not to worry about the ginger tom,he is in Miz Spellings office,she said if i saw you please just go in and get him,he just needed a little space away from all the feet around

[greenishfing]

I'm not sure who first looked out of the window and spotted the Bake Off contestants running around the garden in varying states of undress in a weird Benny Hill type parody.

The card games had gone downhill, in inverse proportion to the amount of alcohol consumed. As could probably have been predicted, strip poker had ended up being the game of choice......

[lottie dolly]

Strip poker,Said Miz Spelling,games were not on the cards today,pardon the pun,so either an illicit game was held,that will get our licence revoked,OR you have had one to many Mrs Go for it,she then made her way to the disco to have a whale off a time,but still had her eye on certain guests,she takes the microphone to introduce the band and DJ for for this evening,so without further adoo carry on and have a lovely evening

[lottie dolly]

The disco is going well,lots of clutch bags on the floor to move and jiggle too,then the noise stoped,and MR Boogy Man took his micahpone,ton announce,wait for it ladieeezzzzz,hope your ready for this,for one time only,raise you glasses or spectacles,what ever you call them,Miz Spelling has managed to secure extra fire personel,so Give it up for the GR,first ever, full monty,shouts of whooping noises rang out as the lads walked on the stage,the box es of pea shoooter and water pistols were already taken up by people then the show began

[Nicos]

Typically Nicos missed the whole event…having just nipped to the loo to reapply her lippy
and by the time she’d re entered the room…..

[lottie dolly]

the place was in uproar what on earth was going on

[Snoop Puss]

Snoop had always been a wuss when it came to horror shows, so she was hiding behind the settee trying not to look. Full Monty Don was more than any lady gardener of a delicate disposition could cope with.

And Rary had taken refuge up the ladder to get away from it all. Bramble was hiding behind the tree, though whether that was a sensible place only time will tell, as the fairy was doing more than rearranging the baubles on the tree. And Flo, well, Flo...

[lottie dolly]

had collected the ginger tome and gone home,and as for Rary up ladders again ,you have a vivid imagination MIZ Snoop regarding the fairy,but could i offer you a smell off my smelling salts it might ease your distress,i will not question any more humhum,am sure left the room actually,but had you stayed till the end,you would have noticed that they were in fact,only wearing a body look alike garment underneith the regular out fit,as the mangers of the GR did not to to get into any bother,hehehehe,that got you did it not,bet you not expecting that,now every feels silly at how they reacted,after all,why were they there in the first place when they knew what to take place Miz Spelling got on with here dancing,Tom Jones music was playing
