Tea Room the 23rd - The Canadian Rockies

Welcome to the 23rd incarnation of the One-Child Tea Room. Not to be misleading - although its inmates inhabitants mostly have just one child, we also have mums of many (but no dads yet... hmmm...). Everyone is welcome.

The usual rules apply - no bunfighting. If you like that sort of thing, go elsewhere.
Other rules: bring Wine. Or [tea]. :o

We find ourselves in a lovely spacious log cabin in the Canadian Rockies. Enormous west-facing windows show a gorgeous view of the sunset over the mountains, and there are log and/or gas fireplaces in every room, even the priest hole (which is a Hiding Spot of Requirement for Those In Need) and the bathrooms. In the open-concept living room, we find the Aga gently simmering against the wall, the bar fully stocked, and the cappuccino bar prepared to dispense any hot beverage of your choice.

Fluffy duvets and colourful pillows abound on the deep, squashy couches and armchairs. Outside, we see a vista of deep snow, dotted here and there with deer and bunny tracks. The walking trails and access roads have been ploughed clear of snow by our able (and hunky) handyman, Mellors, who is also available for massages and facial treatments in the Log Cabin Spa.
There is a hot tub outside on the west-facing deck, with a mini-bar conveniently nearby.

There are no aspidistras in this log cabin, as the cold of the Rockies causes them to shrivel and die. However, the Naked Mohawk Babies have come along and are swarming along the rafters, and in the adjacent stable, the Tea Room horses, Earl and Lady Grey are available for snowy rides. The bison are frolicking in their snowy paddock, and I have no idea if the bishops followed the trail of breadcrumbs or not.

(For newcomers, the last paragraphs obv. makes no sense - just go with, all will be explained.)

Oh you'll never go to heaven in a Girl Guides's bra...

purpleknittingmum · 18/02/2011 23:10

Our version of that was the leaders bra!! :o

I used to be a patrol leader!! But as I don't believe in God, I used to get told off for not going to the church parades as often as I should have!

My daughter goes to Girls Brigade and enjoys it

Tis funny, I never knew this song until I joined my Guide unit and yet it's the one that gets stuck in my head ALL THE TIME. That and I sing Boom-Chica-Boom to BabyScout all the time cuz I can change voices and it stops him crying/makes him look at me funny laugh/distracts him.

Off to bed, that is.

Someone make sure I get into my bed and not my sleeping bag?

::whispers:: Wonderful performance by FineLad in Evita last night - so proud of him. Better pick him up from the party soon, too...

Tee2072 · 19/02/2011 09:02

::shouts:: Good Morning Ladies!! Grin

I actually slept until 830! I think it's a recent record. I hate my brain.

Amber sounds great! Who did FineLad play? Evita? Grin

Have a nice day all!

Yes, they both appear to be bending over while folding towels for use after the hot tub. Grin
