...please feel free to join in folks...the more the merrier!!!!)


*Bang* slammed the pub door open in the gusty wind
*Bang* went Wayne's head as he entered holding armfulls of logs for the fire
*Bang* went the cellar trap as Piglet brought up a fresh cask of ale


"By Heck there's a howler going on out there" laughed Ollie ( well that's what it sounded like cos it's difficult to hear him through his costume head

A clap of thunder and in rushed Maureen amidst a shower of feathers
" Darn these are supposed to be for the costumes for the Panto..have we arranged a meeting of the Village to decide on what we're doing this year??"

Sitting in a huddle around the warm fire, The Gardeners Rest was the perfect place to be , amongst friends, having a wee nip and looking forward to the approach of Winter and Xmas.

" and so...what are you all up to then?" asked Nicos tucking into some of Flum's cake...........

[Nicos]

"Anyone seen my pickled eggs?" asked Ollie staring at his plate of Black Pudding......

[Nicos]

At that moment in rushed a goat through the front door( which you must always remember children should be closed quietly behind you)

...suddenly it grabbed a mouthful of Scarey's bestist gardening jacket and started chewing

" For goodness sake ...who'se supposed to be in control of THAT?" asked Scarey, tring to tug her jacket out of the goat's mouth

"Bound to be one of Bob's he brought back as a souvenir...in case he ever got a bit peckish " laughed Glutton.....

[its hilly]

With yet another crash and spray of rain the door opened to reveal hilly, scrabbling franticly to remove her muck caked wellies, whilst trying to hang on to the lead of a large soggy german shepherd.
"err are dogs allowed in here? shes dead friendly, but ollie had better watch out for his black pudding"

[Seahorse]

'Hello folks!' beamed Seahorse, as PW boosted her up out of the cellar where she'd been quietly amusing herself since last Christmas (there's none of that nice Armagnac left by the way... sorry).

'Get M. Leponge in here to deal with that goat immediately and for heaven's sake, don't let that dog near Ollie's black pudding, he might need that on his next date!'

[Glutton4...]

'I think Mr LePonge has gone home to get his Goat Recipe Book' said Glutton through a mouthful of black pudding she had just stolen from Ollie's plate.

[Nicos]

Nicos stretched out her legs in front of the fire which Wayne had managed to get roaring away.
Cracking hazelnuts picked from her tree and dipping them in chocolate, she was handing them round to anyone walking past. There seemed to be a growing audience of wet ,smelly dogs warming in front of the fire and licking their lips in anticipation of a bit of dropped chocolate..." no chance mates- it's toxic for you lot"
A wonderful smell snuck it's way from the kitchen....looks like rhona and sprocket were busy preparing some wonderful dishes for supper........

[Nicos]

Redthorn and Sarzwix were quietly knitting chook jumpers for the local chook rescue centre when.........

[Glutton4...]

'Bang!'

The door flew open, and in marched Nicos' local Pompiers wanting to sell their Calendars!

*Phwoooooaaaaarrrr*

[Nicos]

Well...you've never seen such a scramble of petticoats in your life...."mine mine mine" yelled the gals.......

[Nicos]

"Oi"....yelled Wayne,Snadge,Bob,Nick the Grief,Ollie,Zebedee,Geordie and a few other Vine guys...

" we're having a Panto fitting here..leave our petticoats alone!!!!!"......

[Glutton4...]

'Ooooh, a Panto - can we join?' said the head Pompier.

'Rather!' Shrieked the girlies

'NO' Chorused the Men 'Definitely NOT!'

[dogsbody]

"Hey" yelled Zazen, AL and DDL, leave those firemen to us!!........please......

[Nicos]

"Quick quick lock the doors dogsbody" yelled Nicos " get out the rhubarb schnapps and lemencello"...I've got some lovely nibbles for them here- and supper smells ready to be served!!!"...looks like it's going to be a fun Saturday night at the Gardeners Rest!!!!"

[Seahorse]

'Did someone mention rhubarb schnapps?' asked Weekendwellies and Twinsane.

'Psst, Nicos' said Seahorse, 'they haven't spotted the pompiers yet, lets make the most of it '
