Mother's Day bring and share feast

[KnittingSister]

The table is vast, there's wine, soft drinks, tea, coffee, there's a massive shoulder of lamb in the slow cooker with loads of garlic, rosemary, and thyme.
We'll need more food, (obviously) puddings, drink,
can anyone play an instrument for a sing along?
We'll start at midday, all welcome

I've got the Taskmaster board game. Hilarious and you can play in teams.

Several versions of monopoly, Cluedo, Trivial Pursuit. Amazon Prime for music.

I will bring along fluffy bathrobes and socks for everyone. Also a giant candle fragrance will be "Calm": A wonderful mix of earthy Patchouli, vibrant Brazilian Orange, Ylang Ylang and Elemi with a touch of Lavender and cleansing pine oil.

I have toilet roll, a box a of maltesers and a bottle of Aldi Persian Lime gin that looks rather lovely. I can't cook, sing or play an instrument but I'll give it a go.

iklboo thank you, board games sound great

I'm loving the bathrobes and candles, sounds relaxing, makes me smile

Bring what you have and join in, we'll all have a fab time.

I love flowers, can i bring those please, in a nice large ceramic jug for the side.

Also a couple of bottles of prosecco. I cant pretend I'm fancy enough for champagne, even in my imagination.

I’ll bring wine. And a massive chocolate cheese cake. Oh and a cheese board- you literally can’t have too much.

i dont cook because of disabilities but i can play guitar, bass guitar, violin a tiny bit, ukeulele, keyboard,mandolin and i can sing. happy to entertain

I’ll come along with some mini eggs and my ukulele

lets duet! no deullign banjos though!

Yes please flowers and maybe bunting too?

Wine and cheese and it sounds like you're bringing a whole orchestra OneNightTimeMenaceStrikesBack

Mini eggs and ukulele yes please

The huge dining table is in the huge dining room, we've room to sit everyone down and fit in some musicians. In the long conservatory it's light and bright and warm. Plenty room and big squashy sofas. Board games in the den and the quiz in the sitting room?
There's a lovely garden, lots of daffodils and the tulips are just coming out. The children can play in the playground and we'll get a bouncy castle. I think they'll like the tree house too.

Looking forward to it!

A tree house you say? Excellent, my DC will be there, and gloriously occupied all day so I can do the quiz and drink wine to my hearts content.

I’ll bring some squash and ‘tree house supplies’ so they don’t keep coming back to the dining table 😉

I've baked a marble cake and have a bottle of Malbec. I can't sing or play an instrument but I'm very good at the Macarena. Will there be dancing?

@iklboo Thanks for the dragon pie link, I think ill give that a go. Not vegetarian here, but we want to increase our veg uptake and cut down on meat a bit. This sounds great.

Meanwhile, I can provide a few batches of DD's wonderful chocolate orange and pecan nut cookies for dessert. Also white chocolate and custard cookies.

I’ll rustle up the simnel cake now, if you like. I’m sure it won’t take long. While the ovens on, I’ll make some gooey brownies and some cheese twists. We can have those later after the main meal when we’re all chilling and partaking of the wine. Can I bring my teenagers? They can help entertain the little ones. See you later everyone.

Come on in! Might be a squeeze, but that only adds to the fun. We'll be able to get to know each other even quicker

Yes, there'll be dancing (I do have 2 left feet!)

Drinks are over there >>> please help yourselves

I've brought a couple of jugs of Hanky Panky cocktail, created by my namesake, and a large pile of home made sausage rolls, everyone loves my rough puff!

Thanks for the simnel cake, marble cake, cookies and brownies.

Mmm sausage rolls, are they still warm??

Teenagers welcome, more the merrier !

The lamb smells fab and is falling off the bone.

The house is warm and sunny, the drink is flowing and there's music and dancing, come on in!

Ooh, knitting you’ve made the house so welcoming. Thank you. The roast lamb smells divine, can’t wait to tuck in. Although we have to leave room for all the desserts! I hope it’s a nice, long, leisurely lunch spent chatting, laughing, listening to music and kids playing. It’s just what we all need, isn’t it?

Pants. I got lost on route and have only just arrived.

I do have gin though so please forgive me?

Can I come? I've just baked BBC Good Food Best Chocolate Brownies (and they're not lying!)

I don't like lamb, sorry but can bring fillet steak, potato gratin, peppercorn sauce and roast veg for those who would prefer that? Malbec / syrrah to drink.

No instruments or singing here, but definitely flowers, candles and bunting!

Don't worry, you're not late, there's plenty to go round, all your favourite veg, roasties, and someone earlier brought potato dauphinoise, Yorkshires, loads of meat and the dragon pie.
We can go on late into the night. We've got fairy lights and the patio heaters.
Come on in, it's lovely to see you all

All sounds lovely,wish we could do it in real life ,
