Tea Room the Fourteenth

[amberlight]

Welcome to the 14th instalment of the Tea Room. It's now officially spring, and we've moved the tea room to a Gipsy caravan pulled by the tea room horses, which is making its way up the countryside in an effort to follow spring. There are of course hedgerows filled with spring flowers, Mellors the handsome gardener/driver/handyperson, the usual virtual Bishops, and the assorted animals and characters from previous tea rooms. All are very welcome to join in with us parents of one (or indeed more!) for general chat and the occasional very odd conversation. Climb aboard, grab a cuppa, enjoy the view, relax!...

I am certainly up for a Viking long hall, not a ship, that would be too too long haul (ha ha ha)

But it has lots of creature comforts, don't worry DMC, I think the faded chinz sofars will come with us, the rugs, the book shelf and of course there will be a magic room were you enter through one door and exit through another to find Mellors Spa waiting (think Mr Ben)

I would, I am afraid, be Florence. Good 'n' bossy me

Just so long as there is a pile of hay in the corner and a hook for a galvanised bucket. My hooves won't hold a drinking horn very well!

I think I would be one of the other children you saw on the roundabout at the beginning.

I don't remember it that well RS - but do you see yourself as one of the other children because you feel a bit on the outside sometimes or because you are not, actually, a large, foam (or such substitute) weird drug created doll form item?¬?

Hadn't even thought of the second possibility! Do you mean they are not real??

They're not only real, they're .... French!

Mon Dieu! Non!

Zut alors!

C'est l'heure d'aller au lit!

Dee dee dee dee dee, deedee deedee dee dee ...

Dors bien, Serpentquicours!

Ha, I am probably the only person in the world that I know who knows the names of the "other children" - Rosalie, Basil and (I think) Paul. So RS - would you go for being Rosalie, or is she too girly?

It's still French too...

C'est l'heure pour le "Party" maintenant - sauf Dylan, qui toujours espere que c'est l'heure d'aller au lit.

Party? Alors! Ou est ma frock est mes party shoes??

Un grande mug de tea avec des croissants?

We are getting very close to the post limit now so thought we'd better create the new Viking Long Hall tearoom pronto before it blocks us...

That should lead you to it.

NEW TEA ROOM THE 15TH THREAD NOW OPERATING

Oh yes, I remember Basil!
Voila, Amber (pronounced Ombaire), un grand mug du tea avec un croissant. Aujourd'hui c'est le jour pour faire le packing avec Mellors pour le grand demanagement au Viking long hut!

(Lady Grey follows on at a slightly more sedate pace)

good night sweet tea room. Onward and upward
