Mumsnet Village Show - An Afternoon Tea Tray for One

[Slubberdegullion]

So here we are again.

So far the rules are:

Tea tray for one

Can include anything you want suitable for a summer high tea (sandwiches, scones, cake, biscuits etc) with suitable cutlery and crockery and the like. (Silver service if you are terribly posh)

Five quid budget (on top of what you already have in your larder).

SlightlyMadScientist is the judge (heaven help us...is she properly qualified???)

Oh and all entries will be anonymous this time (A, B, C etc).

Time limit is 9pm next sunday so we can be judged before bed time.

The rules will obviously be bent or completely ignored but so long as its tea ish then anything goes.

Have you all done this yet? I want to look at the pics of everyone's kitchen tables.

Oh LL you'ree here, was just about to start a yoo hoo thread.

Thank you so much for the beautiful rosette and certificate for my DD's that came in the post this am. Thanks also for the prize...will come in very handy as it is dd2's birthday party coming up in a few weeks.

We've been busy as the fete all day today (must be a record, both children asleep within 2 mins of being put to bed), so I'm going to do a presentation (with their cup cake picies up on the 'puter tomorrow).

Many thanks again...you have skill with craft my dear!

Oh golly. It's got a bit heated in the marquee then LL?

Oh the orange does clash horribly with the red rosette, will have to win another one tomorrow and put it inbetween so I don't get rosette headache

a warning would have been nice there with that link LL.

When does the judging happen then?

Tommorow @ 9pm 100x. You should tune in. It gets very tense and if last time is anything to go by ther will be a little skurmish in the tent and the judge will have to be whisked out by burley men.

or is that burly?

Oh brilliant. I'm coming to hang about in the back then. I might take notes for the local paper.

lol, love the shot of the rabbit perched on the abyss of the filthy Le Creuset pan.

I went to the RL show today and ds won £10 for his lettuces and the blokey shook his hand! I am now totally hooked on horticultural shows

we got invited to the next one in Sept and there are CAKE categories and also a category for "grotesque and amusing vegetables" LOLOLOLOL

we are away at a festival that weekend, I am GUTTED

I know can we have an MN grotesque vegetable show? God I was SO excited about going to the real one after arsing around on here I can't tell you. I am completely pissed off we can't go.

I wonder what vegetable has the greatest potential to turn out grotesque? We only have spuds (well and lettuce and rocket but they never do anything amusing). I'm praying that when I dig ours up we will have an amusing one to enter into our RL VS.

Do you LL? Home grown? Take a pic now and save it for the MN horticultural show.

Will have to sit that one out

I couldn't join in with this one as I have been in hospital. Ok now though. I just want to say
