A Toast......

[julesapple]

Ladles and Gellyspoons,

I come before you, to stand behind you, to appose a toast!

I give you the opportunity to raise your glasses to those special Grapes who have made these festivities erm....well...Festive!

Santa's Elfin Aid - just what was that little elf called?

The Creators of the Advent Calendar - something to savour every year!

And all of the Patrons of the Gardener's Rest 2013/14 - dang it, they closed the bar and it was my turn to get a round in.....

And all of the wonderful Grapes who turned a boring New Year's Eve into a brilliant country-wide celebration!!

(And if you haven't got a glass, get one pdq!)

Ladles and Gellyspoons, Please raise your glasses to the GYO Grapevine!

Thank you ALL very much indeed!

I'd raise a toast, but my Husband killed the toaster!

Cheers!

I'll celebrate just about anything, me.

Ladles and Gellyspoons,

Were you a little sozzled by chance Jules, or was it something more recreational??

I've never stood side by side with a piece of toast before?

As I've not been hear to enjoy the festivities, a happy belated new year to you all.

I'm back now though so be prepared for some sensible discussions.....

[Hazel at the Hill]

Today we can celebrate..... launch of the space station Mir! Hurrah!

Hip hip hooray for sciency types and ruskies! We can raise a glass of voddy later on perhaps?

No, it's from a poem - I changed it a little;

Ladles and Jellyspoons,
I come before you,
to stand behind you,
and tell you something,
I know nothing about,
Next Thursday, which is Good Friday,
There will be a Mother's Day meeting,
For fathers only.
Wear your best clothes,
If you haven't any.
And if you can come,
Please stay at home.
Admission free,
Pay at the door.
Take a seat,
And sit on the floor.
It makes no difference where you sit,
The man in the gallery is sure to spit.
I thank you for your unkind attention,
and now present the next act:
The Four Corners of the Round Table.
