Welcome to the 22nd incarnation of the tea room. This time we are watching for spring from a cosy farmhouse kitchen. There is an aga for baking virtual cakes and an inglenook with toasty fire and settles to rest weary bones on. The distressed chintz sofa and footstool have arrived safe and sound and the priest hole is around here somewhere. On the Window sill is an aspidistra its pot surrounded by a hand holding circle of nearly naked mohawk babies, they have placards and a brazier.

Outside in the surrounding fields can be found the tea room horses, Earl and Lady Grey, also a herd of bison AND a Ha Ha to keep the bishops from invading.

Usual rules apply, no fisticuffs, if you want an argument go else where. Mellors the butler / game keeper will supply all sorts of things on request. Welcome Mums of one, none or many to the tea room of requirement.

Tee2072 · 08/02/2011 15:58

Maud has also PMed me as I am too slow today to figure things out!

amberlight · 08/02/2011 16:35

Jacksmama · 08/02/2011 18:00

Had a nice day today catching buses using the tearoom net Amber supplied and pinning them to a display... friend stayed on for a cuppa and has just left - so dinner not cooked! eek!

Things still tough, but today was a nice day out to forget my troubles...

Jacksmama · 08/02/2011 19:03

Gerroff!!!

UniS · 08/02/2011 19:07

liking the display board Mary. rather dominates teh room, but very colourful and instructive. I'd not seen a number 9 that close before.

:: trips over 9::
::adds another and a flake::

twiglets anyone? I'm hiding here with cutout George clooney on the sofa and a bottle of Bolly Grin
care to join?

MaryBS · 08/02/2011 19:57

I particularly like This bus...

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 08/02/2011 20:09

Hello ladies.

::Admires the display of buses. Well, now that collecting butterflies is considered cruel, I suppose a girl needs a hobby::

I have just learnt on another thread that I am involved in a ridiculous kiddy paramilitary organisation. Pity I forgot to mention that to the Brownies when we were discussing world poverty and global politics.

::Polishes bayonet::

Gah! Gimme the Bolly.

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 08/02/2011 21:27

::solitary drinking::

Scout19075 · 08/02/2011 21:39

Same thread as earlier, Maud?

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 08/02/2011 21:42

I made the mistake of looking to see what direction it was taking. But enough of that.

How are you? Would you like some Bolly?

Scout19075 · 08/02/2011 21:45

Oh dear, Maud. Just say no.

I'm alright. Still flip-flopping. Will PM you when I finish eating my stir-fry.

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 08/02/2011 21:47

It's alright. I've walked away and am just an onlooker now. I'll wait for your PM.

Bon appetit!

Scout19075 · 08/02/2011 22:10

Incoming!

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 08/02/2011 22:25

Same to you!

UnSerpentQuiCourt · 08/02/2011 22:30

I know who Maud is! [very proud emoticon] I worked it out myself!

Oxeye, I have just done exactly the same, probably with far less justification. Thinking of setting up a Bad Mummies Corner, where Wriggle and Oxboy can sit and mutter to each other about us. While we down gin and tonics
