The Tea Party date and time is Official!

The lawn at Alabaster House will be open from 0800am (ish) Wednesday 29th August, 2007 GMT/BST (Greenwich Mean Time/British Standard Time), for general setting up of tables, eyeing off hats, and brewing the tea for the Italic(s) to hopefully arrive by horse-drawn fish bowl at 1000am (or around about then.)

See you there!

*pencils the date into his scratch-pad, to remember to return for the clean-up at the end of the day*

Oooh, its not a vicars tea party is it? Dog collars are optional I hope?

That will make it a decent 0900 in Denmark

I've only read about tea parties and seen them on films. Any dress code?

*Is secretely happy that Leo will bring well brewed coffee, as she normally only drinks tea when sick*

I will hover in the background untill I figure out what is expected from me. I'm good at lifting and shifting though.

Excellent Well organised (so far) Matt

Do we know whether or not the Special Guest/s is/are attending? If not, can we still have a party please?

*checks diary*

One might not be here for luncheon.... though I should return in time for afternoon Tea, if not before..

Aw I do like this! Fantastic!

Yeah...I know...I'm unfashionably early...

ah, how could we ever accuse you of being unfashionable Nat?

Master B goes on and on about your dress...

Oh, and as far as I know they'll be at least one or two of the slanty people about...

If not, I'll dress up and make an appropriate "assie"* of myself

*see another thread, pailaways accused me of being one...

My dress?!

You ARE wearing a dress? And a suitable hat I hope?

Proper etiquette you know, dash it all. Can't have this knees up going all to pot can we?

I am - no hat but an alice band. I'll try and get it all sorted.

Don't forget your towel

ahem

ooo, I like the black feathery one...

Oh that's right, I'm wearing a top hat with my dressing gown and matching slippers.

*sigh*

I shall wear two hats, mating it possible to loan one to Nat if the occassion arises.

Thanks for all your hard work on this, Frood.

I shall gather a crew (so far Leo has offered to help) and we will set everything up on Tuesday. It will be ready in time for the festivities.

Ahem.....there will be no mating with hats at any Alabaster House tea parties. (I'm a hillbilly, but that's too kinky even for Cousin Clem.) ......making it possible to loan a hat to Nat......

Although, the offspring of a bowler and a fez may be amusing...
