Tea room 22- A Farmhouse kitchen, anyone for a cuppa?

[UniS]

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.

I've done it. I've offered a very young girl I know (like 20/21) who has just announced she's pregnant (though I knew already) some of ToddlerScout's BabyScout things to use. (This is a big step for me....)

Well done, Scout.

I've always wanted to do jury service but Norman's story has made me rethink!

::reaches for smelling salts again::

Maud, it was actually very interesting, although a complete eye opener into the world of drugs/prostitution etc. All goes to show that truth is stranger than fiction - there is no way you could have made it up! Anyway the defendant was found not guilty in the end (think she acted in self-defence only, the man was never telling the truth, his story changed every 5 minutes).

I'm sure it was, Norman, and I still live in hope of being called, but the prospect of being presented with photos of someone's bitten Prince Albert ...

::faints::

Yes, SoMuch was a bit at first, but there you go....

What is a Prince Albert???

It's, ahem, an item of jewellery for gentlemen. You'll have to google for more details, JM. I cannot even bring myself to provide a link. So to speak.

Think Heathers....

No, not Heathers. Pump Up The Volume.

Wrong Christian Slater movie....

Eek. Is this an argument for watching or not watching Pump Up The Volume!

::smelling salts again::

I enjoy that movie. But I'm a huge CS fan so I'd watch it just for him.

?

OH. MY. GOD.

Are you ladies okay?

I made the mistake of looking at a picture of the aforementioned piece of jewelry.

jacksmama that is bad enough without seeing it on one which has been bitten!

You ned , , and then some [tea] or [cup] or [mug] or whatever it's likely to be....

A juggling move that passes a club/ ball/ ring between the legs is called an Albert, the reverse move is called a trebla.

Once upon a time when I and teh world were younger... my friends and I used to get a kick out of directing tourists to take teh Albert Line tube train to Buckingham palace station, we would cheerfully tell them it was the pink line on the map.

boy still exhausted, over reacting to really minor stuff at school with tears and hands over ears and grumping that its too noisy. Half term can;t come fast enough. Last two nights he's been in bed at 6.30.

A farm house in the rookies? Might one of those suit. Big wood burner stove, lots of logs. Maple syrup on pancakes... am I close JM?

Didn't I ask for a Tea Room in a log cabin in the mountains near Whistler some time last fall?

Yes to HUUUUUGE log fire, maple syrup on ANYTHING, very large windows facing west to catch the sunset in the mountains.... heaps and heaps of snow, but well-ploughed walking trails and access roads... deer coming to feed from the deer-feeders... the silence that you can almost feel when it's snowed...

... and of course, a well-stocked bar!!

A deer feeder?? the mind boggles, not peanuts I guess and do you bother trying to squirrel proof it?

That does sound good, UniS. Your vision of the farmhouse in the Rockies, I mean. Don't know what to suggest about Boy. Do you think a week off at half term will sort it?

JM - Well, you did ask.

::proffers more ::

Oh, ladies, if you go over to Employment Issues (not somewhere I go very often) have a look at BoffinMum's Senior Common Room of Requirement. It looks kind of familiar.

But I asked out of sheer naivete innocence!!

Deer feeders are put out in areas where it snows so heavily the deer would starve if left to their own devices. I think they eat... hmmm... I have no idea what they eat.
