Ah! *finds paper, unfolds it*

I tried to figure out all the villagers, and which ones are still living here, and which ones have moved away, and which ones have just left for a very long lunch...

Still here:
Abi
Big Mad Mr T.
Bluebottle
Cloviscat
Dragonfly
Galaxy Babe
Greebo
Gwennie
Kasia
Coelacanth
Mina
Peregrin
Pheroneous
vegiman

Those that have not been seen around for quite some time:
B-17
Barney's Bucksaws
Dr John (last seen in May this year?)
Kumabear
lee lee
Lipsbury Pinfold
Purple (last seen in June this year)

...and Pandora seems to have a new user number - I assume it's the same old Pandora?

Haven't been able to locate the Country Clubs Inc, Colonel Mustard or any of the inhabitants of Sunset Close...smiley - winkeye

Maybe I should simply drop an invitation to everyone? Except for those last ones...

I've been thinking about a date - one week is too little time to get anything organized I think - how about two weeks? Maybe starting on a Friday and lasting all weekend? That would be... *checks calendar* 23-25 August...

wow, you have been busy! I think that the weekend idea is fine. smiley - ok Tell everyone to invite a friend if they'd like to too. Also, there are many patrons of Crossed Purposes Pub in the Village who don't have cottages. Shall I invite them?

Ah yes - you're one of the regulars there, aren't you?

I'll write an invitation, but I'm not sure what you call it in English - harvest festival, or harvest home, or harvest fĂȘte or...smiley - huh

Thank you...

I think I'll move the date forward to 30 August-1 September though - I think it might take a little time before people respond... I still haven't heard from the reverend...
