    The thing is if I come I will have to bring the hound and dogs do tend to divide MSE posters. He is quiet so won't be a noise issue but he is very fond of chasing the local wildlife

    It sounds like an impossibly risky venture to me.  What are the chances that your place might have a moderate risk of subsidence?  Or flooding? There might be an unknown covenant lurking in obscurity, and some of those attending might have undergone strange and unexplained transformations of identity.

    Comes with the dog (or so I thought)....

    Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –

    Treasure the moments that you have. Savour them for as long as you can for they will never come back again.

    Am I not invited this year ☹️
    I can bring homemade green tom chutney, there's bound to be some cheese leftover from the holidays, and find a HPC-er on my way to provide the fireworks.

    Oh crumbs. Just read back through the last few posts. It took me until mid Feb, after my house move, to sober up after last year's party.

    FYI, my bottle of Galliano survived 2 house moves and is still (partly) available. I'm sure it has improved with age, much like myself o:)

    I've also got one of these under the tree
    https://www.aldi.co.uk/gold-flake-blackberry-gin-liqueur/p/715362572090300

    still intact, but not likely to remain that way for very long ;)
    If I’m invited (after last year’s performance😊) I can bring the unopened bottle of sparkly gin and the vintage Galliano, which must be approaching its silver jubilee. 
    I have an ample stock of unisex thermal undergarments which I’m willing to share with those who don’t have the full ‘heated landing pass’ and am adept at building tents from repurposed cardboard removals boxes, plastic pipes & old duvets. 
    I’m not concerned about rail strikes. As soon as my invitation is confirmed, I’ll set off on my sledge.
