scone party

[morwen]

So I'll be having my long-awaited tea and scone party in May. It will be at my flat in Leiester. Scones will be served at precisely 4pm. There will be tea, various sorts of jam and other fillings (you are invited to bring samples of your own for people to try), and radio 4! I'm not really sure how long it will last, maybe a couple of hours. Or whether we'll be spiking the tea. So anyway, a poll for the date, and to get some idea of numbers:

Have said 20th/21st as that seems most likely but can do any weekend really except the 27th/28th one.

Will bring scones and jam (mini pots if I can fond them!)

Scones ++

Try Pound shops - you can pick up all sorts of tea pots from there :)

Am away in Derbyshire 6th-13th May.

Should be able to make it either 20th/21st or 27th/28th. Although 28th May is my birthday and I'm as yet unsure as to what I'm gonna be doing.

Sorry we are busy pretty much every weekend till then wedding (and the weekends we aren't busy are almost certainly going to get spend organising the wedding....)

Ah, too bad :( Also I daresay you won't be able to attend my birthday party unless I stick that absurdly far into July? (how long is your honeymoon?) Tsk tsk!

By the way, that reminds me to stick reply in post.

I think we get back on the 13th or 14th.

good idea, lest the mother in law strike off by default and invite even bloody more of her relatives.

I reckon we can make any of those dates. We shall drive there in our new car. Woo!

That sounds like a great party and I would've loved to be there, but Leceister is a bit far to go for tea ;)

I will just have to make some of my own and think of you scone party goers when I have them :)

Sniff I like scones, and I like thea
I even have nice funky jams
I just happen to live a country away :(

[abigailb.livejournal.com]

well, i wasn't really sure whether people would be coming from other cities, let alone other countries. ;)

Not that I'm likely to make the 100 miles journey just for tea and scones (depends who else is there really) May 20th is Eurovision and thus it is illegal to be doing anything else that weekend...
