I would have offered some cake forks for the afternoon tea, but I got rid of those a long while back...

I will bring DHs cake forks...and my cake stands and linen napkins and I will even bake too

I have a set of pastry forks for the rectory garden party - but they bring me much joy and I'm keeping them - we often use them for cake I also have fruit spoons - they make great soup spoons for children!

Just in case it runs on a bit till dinner - I can bring a set of fish knives and forks . In house when we bought it, fully intend to use them (just as soon as I can work out how ).

ETA - Just watched a Martha Stewart video. Am now ready for action

I will bring to the Garden party a lovely Homebaked Chocolate Cream Cake made not by me but a lady called Connie who runs a local cake sale for charity as I cant be bothered :rotfl:
But it will be lovely and will go perfectly with the Cake forks

I bought 4 nice cake forks at a CS and use them to mash the cats food so I won't offer mine

I have a cake stand, not much more I could offer to a tea party in the walled rose garden. Ooh, I have shawls that can be on hand as sun protection, and doilies for the table

Secateurs and rose-admiring I think I could manche

Procastinator - I agree with Floss - do you have room for a small step ladder or one of those fold-up stools? I am under 5ft and I rely on those all over the house! lifesavers...

Good idea, I don't have one at moment so will have to keep an eye out. Can't remember where but I'm sure I saw just the thing before Xmas but thought no where to store it but the airing cupboard would be just the place.

Morning all, up at silly o'clock as head buzzing with the list of tasks which can't be done until the morning, due to using/ sleeping in the relevent bits and pieces.

And have realised that I am very low on milk and that I didn't get the biscuits in (I like to be able to offer biscuits to tradesmen working in the flat but don't trust myself with them on a day-to-day basis). Will nip up to the shop when it opens at 7am, so's I can get back in time for their arrival which will be 8-ish.

Loving the fantasy tea party in my fantasy walled rose garden, makes me wish I really did have one so I could invite you all over for tea.

OK, easing into the day with a cuppa and then it's brekkie and up and at it.

Enjoy your biscuits GQ and behave with the sparkies!

I will. I have stocked up on chocolate digestives. Although the flat is as pared-back as I can achieve, it is still a tiny space and it won't be easy for them to work in.

For example, if I pull my bed any further than its present 10 inches from two of the walls, we won't be able to open the bedroom door..........:p

Just having Second Breakfast and caffeining-up for a long day. Am using my bathtub as a storage area for some things, with my sewing machine nestled among pillow and duvet and the lampshades (breakable) to garnish.

Just hope no one turns on the bath taps................:eek:

When I disappear offline, they will have arrived. See you on the other side.
