Ladies...........................the State Visit is over!

As I am of senior status, and I hope you dont mind me saying this, I thought it only right and proper that I wave our two lovely visitors off.

I got Pat-trish-aaaah [oh yes, I forgot to mention, she is back] to wheel out the tuk-tuk and she pedalled like billyo along to the Airport, just in time for us to wave off the big Silver Bird. Do you know, I am sure I saw someone wave back, but it could have been a trick of the light.

Now, we are back to normality, and we will no doubt hear from our visitors in due course.

I trust we are all tickety boo ladies, and when the excitement is over, we shall be back to business.

How time flies Ladies...no sooner have the flags and bunting been taken down than it is time to put them up again, as sadly the State Visit is drawing to a close :-(

Auntie Petunia would it be permissible to raise our glasses tomorrow in public...not sure what time though :-S

Walking off with a heavy heart...humming to the tune of We'll Meet Again <3

Yes, I think that all went very well Ladies. We were the height of elegance and good taste.

I really enjoyed myself. The sun shone, and goes to prove that we are righteous.

How naice to see Cherry Crumbles again after all this time. And dear Sheila did herself proud, what a lovely lady.

I shall retire now to the chaise longue, I feel rather fatigued with all the hustle and bustle.

Good evening Ladies.

Now, I think you know what I am about to say. We will be having a State Visit tomorrow from Dignitaries from the Antipodes.

They will grace us with their presence, and we will take high tea together.

I trust we will take great care to wash behind our ears tomorrow, and place a clean hankerchief in our bloomer pockets.

Tis, 17.58 dears, synchonise your watches.

Good Evening All.

I trust you are well.

Wouldn't you just believe it when an old gal like me wants to look her best for a state visit she gets an outbreak of eczema on both eyelids...ha ho as is said the show must go on:-D

Lashings of Doublebase being applied as I type...gel that is not a guitar:-)

Exiting humming because I can't sing...The show will go on.

Good evening dears!

Is there football on dears? I had not noticed.

I artfully bought a box set of that naice Mr Thaw in his television programme Inspector Mouse, and I am watching an episode a night. That way, I do not get to watch the free kicks, penalties and whatever else the running boys might be up to.

I did think that something MIGHT be going on, as there seems to be an awful lot of St George's flags fluttering around the place.

Hey ho! We shall soon be going on out jolly outing gels.

Watches at the ready Lesley :-D

Aunty my dear Pa who was in a very hot climate in the war always wore a vest. He said it was to soak up the sweat :-S he never cast a clout till may was out and hung on to the vest all year round. Please Aunty put it back on and a good dollop of vic on the chest.



Yours helpfully

Good morning dear Ladies,

I am sorry for my absence but I am dosing myself up as I have a chill.

As you know we had our celebrations to commemorate the 70th Anniversary of Dunkirk over the weekend. Everyone had a spiffing time. Lots of lovely food and plenty of tears, plus wonderful singing. All the old songs, it was truly a sight to behold, all the soldiers and sailors wore their medals, and had a touch of brilliantine in their hair.

As their leader in the affair, I was to dress as Britannia, and indeed I did. It was a little cool in the shade, and as I was not wearing my vest and liberty bodice, I fell foul to a chill, as I am sneezing like there is no tomorrow!

I must get better dears, as our State Visit looms large with our foreign dignitaries coming to see us.

Off to the menthol inhalations once again!

Good evening Ladies, how are we?

Weatherspoons dear Teresa? What are they? If they are some chain of hostelries, then no, I do not frequent them! I do not frequent any kind of hostelry! Tutty tut. As you know dears, I am tee total, and when I do partake of refreshment, then it is orft to the Ritz for me, for afternoon tea. Proper china and silver spoons. Perish the thought.

Lesley dear, how are you? You must be very busy dear, along with our dear Teresa. How lovely to see you both.

How lovely to live in a little village. Where I live, we like to call it a Village, although it is at the top of a Hill. And the bus that terminates there, denotes a Village, sadly it is no so. We have a pond, and a church, and pretty little shops, but when you look DOWN the Hill, we have a view of a monstrosity of a Football Stadium. It dominates the skyline. I am no amused!

But that is by the by, now this opening of the gardens................let me know the date dear, and I will see if I can work it into my busy schedule.

Busy, busy, always busy!

Toodle!
