Woot! And I get first choice! Got to love a man with a ram that gives tea parties. :!)

What is the average length of a woman's thigh? I tried searching in google and got some rather interesting sites about thigh high stiletto heeled boots. :blushing:

WOW, stiletto heeled boots, your driving me nuts already, a man of my
quite up brining can only take sooo much, I was going to suggest a short
walk, after the party, through the holt wood and up to beacon hill, it is
beautiful there, it is riddled with mossy hollows, where one can sit in
comfort and look at the stars.

The internet can be so crule :cry:

Actually, he writes in a very manly fashion in all his posts.

My head feels woozy, just what was in that tea? And why are there so many dead chickens?

Have no fear, i may have acquired a certain patina, and gathered a few
unique makings over the years, but i promise you i come complete with
handle.

table and chairs, it looks quite cosy now, wol, my ram, and benji, will no
doubt wonder in from time to time, keeping an eye on things, as they do.

That sounds wonderful! I love stuff like that! The mossy hollows sound nice.

I hope the weather is cooler there, it's been in the mid 90's every day here (around 34 celsius). I hate hot weather.

I don't think the "tea" Brewnog is serving is the same as we're getting up in the Wolram's lovely cott. Hmm...perhaps a visit to the stables is in order. I think I'd enjoy seeing the horses, and maybe a riding party could be arranged.

Yes, the weather has gotten too warm even for me. I had to turn on the AC yesterday...the air didn't even seem to move when I stepped outside, it was like a sauna. We had a late-day thunderstorm though that cooled everything off really nicely and I was able to sleep with the windows open again. It's hot again today, but not quite as stiflingly stagnant feeling.

Yes the weather has lost its bite somewhat, I am not sure if it is wise, but
perhaps i could take a flask of sherry, and we could have a sip or two
while studying the heavenly delights.

Done already old girl don't you know, Would you like something with a tad of
spirt? or do you want to plod along, any way up, we have many bridal paths
around about the cott, and some open land, if you feel like a gallop.

I much prefer a spirited one. But bridal paths? That seems a tad hasty when I've only just met my escort. :eek: I should think we'd exchange names and court a bit before announcing our engagement and galloping down a bridal path.

You suggest this and then complain of a bridal path?

You're so adorable. :smile: Wish I was on that plane right now. I would love to frolick through the mossy glades in my frilly bloomers and thigh high stilletto boots, drinking sherry and playing with wol's ram. :-p
