The Gardeners Rest #11 ( 2016)

[veggiechicken]

what man in his right mind .........

I think that lets you off the hook, rary
Anything happening in the GR today? Where's Lumpy and...............

[Lumpy]

Well I'm hereeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Said the echo-ey voice of Lumpy as she stomped around an empty bar.

She was sad as she thought that New Years Eve was going to be quiet and lonely.................maybe GL or one of the other MODS might appear and................

[veggiechicken]

.............buy a few rounds..............

[Lumpy]

of golf for each other.

Lumpy sat, with her back against the juke box sad that not many Grapes had paid the GR a visit. Then all of a sudden a proverbial light bulb went off in her trunk...............she had an idea.............she would...

[veggiechicken]

...........shout "Fire, Fire, Help!!!" and, because the Vine is such a caring, helpful community, everyone will come rushing to Lumpy's aid and.............

[Lumpy]

do what the rest of us do when an alarm goes off said Rary and completely ignore it.

I wonder what roast elephant tastes like said Flo.....could it be a bit like pork pies?

VC was having none of this negative attitude being the jolly little chicken that she was...............she decided to grab her retired pointy from above the fireplace and went in search of someone to poke with it...there in the disatnace stood........................

[veggiechicken]

...............Greenleaves
I hereby challenge you to a Duel, GL. said VC, with a slight quaver in her cluck!
Meet me outside Ye Olde Composty Toilets at 8 and we'll settle this - Pointy Stick (ret'd) versus Weed Fairy.
Loser buys drinks for all and...........

[Lumpy]

gets a chance to ride an elephant. (read into that what you want)

However, we all know that GL prefers to do jigsaws in the evening rather than visit the sometimes riotous GR.

If he did not turn up Lumpy had a sniggery little whisper to VC and they both laughed, well trumpeted and clucked when.......................

[Florence Fennel]

Flo arrived with a rather prune-like Nicos who had spent too long in the ....

[veggiechicken]

.........bath as she searched for her soap in the shape of...........

[Florence Fennel]

well just about anything doesn't sound decent, so we'd better buy her a soap-on-a-rope both to save her blushes and to save her from looking like a prune after spending so much time in the new bath. She is spending so much time in there with her book she's lost the plot and if her singing gets much louder ......

[rary]

I think we will let the shape of the soap pass, said rary with a red face ( he really is such a sensitive young man)



we are now going for a rebranding of rary

[Lumpy]

Well at least Nicos is clean all over trumpeted Lumpy.......she had been sniffing the corks from the optic bottles again and this had left her................

[Aberdeenplotter]

Anticipating a New Year Dram. AP made sure she would get one by putting a bottle of Glayva behind the bar to wish all his friends a Happy New Year. On that note, he...........

[Lumpy]

he turned the number lock on the cap to stop Rary 'accidentially' opening the bottle until later.

VC was still prancing about with her old pointy stick trying to remember the various ninja moves she had used to control unrulely Grapes. Her left leg got caught up with her baggy wellie boot socks and sent her flying.....................right into the admiring arms of............
