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.

sadly so could mine

though carnivals since trhe 16th century would be mroe his style natch

Well maybe he should come on and give us a mini lecture while we're waiting for the judge.

slide show

this bloke cocked up

but the poeple here didn't relalise

so they celebrated with one of these

which turned into one of these

do Dh helped them build this which won a lot

and I was on this, which didnt

the end

Come on come on SMS.....

Dh wants me to watch Rome with him at 9pm (his particular uber nerd specialist subject). But it is rather good.

If we have to wait until 9, and I win then my acceptance speech will be a tad short (will come back at 10pm).

If I don't win then jolly well done to the winners

Your's was definately the best. You deserved to win. And I'll be back at 10 to say it again.

Oh Peachy that was very good. Round of applause for that. You have raised the MN village show standards by another notch.

The winners won't be announced until after 9pm as a) that is the deadline for submission and b) I am only up to M (scarey crockery) on the judges cards....

(are there any ads Slubs?)

Is this where we are all waiting for the Judge, mind if i join you? Just popped over from that larger tent over the way where Rod has just been crooning.

Were you really on that float, waving a sword? Fantastic

actually this si my side

I was a jester at the back

dh was waving a sword actually 9the two carts weren't from the same year)

Advertisment Break

the pressure is starting to get to F&Z

Where's the parade. Looks amazing?

And pray, what is the problem with my teaset? jelousy is a ugly characteristic to have.

despite not having an entry this week , I've just yelled at dh "but it's judging time" and leapt towards the laptop.
(He's looking up shrinks in Thompson Local)

i was going to put another miniature entry in. but i haven't time. and i think the tea set is in the same room as sleeping ds. oh well.

Oh this is worse than A-level results day.

mini peachys on the dragon, me walking alongside cant do it this year due to Uni, sadly

the aprades are in somerset and definitely worth watching- last about 4 hours! November time (so you can see the lights- big floats ahve around 30000 bulbs)

bridgwater is most famous, biggest illuminated carival in world apaprently, 130000 visitoras- but i prefer glastonbury or wells to watch

back to the cakes

It's time.......

Come on,

tardy
