Oh, by Jove's.!!

Sounds like a lot of fun lotrfan. An excuse to dress up in one's Sunday best.

Wonder if "hotpot" was on the menu!!!

Too right LN ... Here is a photo of us all ready to Roll off to the Wedding Tea.
L to R
Ocfreckle(Crown Princess Glitter), Lindelew(The Duchess of Gorgeousness), Lolly(Lady Lolly Middleton) and Lotrfan(The Countess)

Sounds fun. I'm sorely tempted!

no hotpot, LN it's high, high tea. There's a thing. These people go to a lot of trouble preparing the food for the people who have booked. There is a lot of it. so if you book and then back out you will have to find someone to take your place or cough up. lol. When you see what they do you can understand that. But it is so much fun why would anyone back out?

Do you stay overnight or come back same day and where is it

What a fabulous time you all had at BB - I'm so envious. I'm melting down here in Wanaka - the place is a dust bowl! The last two days have been really HOT! 32 degrees on Tuesday....... What a bother we will miss Corogate Frecs, perhaps we could talk them into having a later one in June when we are able go do you think? They usually do this things over a month or so.
Floosie, Orca is in her full time training, but I boarded her when her trainer was on holiday.
Enjoy you GUPs get-togethers, and catch up in March, Love, Lindelew

Sophiecat, its on the way to Thames - about an hour from Auckland gets you to the Corogate Cafe, so no, we don't need to stay overnight (nowhere to stay anyway, its out in the country).

Lindelew ... Doreen knows we'll be away then and is steering clear of those dates! You don't think I'd let her arrange someting so fun when you and I were away do you? We'll be there in all our GORY
Am missing you madly ... but no doubt you are having a good time!
(((hugs)))

Frecs, missing you and my godson too! Wonderful news then that we can go to Corogate - I can pick you all up as per last time if you like - that's you, me, lotrfan and Lolly - may be able to squeeze one more in the back seat. Life much as usual down here. We're only here for hubby to look after the son's shop while he's in Japan. I'm at the Vodafone internet place working away as usual - sick isn't it! We do go down to the Lake edge for our dinner though - take our little portable stove and have steak and salad! We go home to Bevan's house in Arrowtown for the weekends.
Nothing like GrownUps down here - can't even find a Red Hat group!
Miss you all heaps.............

Miss you too Lindy,
Go for a cooling swim in the Lake tee hee.
thanks so much for the offer of a lift, we will take you up on that!
It has been tres tres windy up north.
Yes Frecs, we will be in all our Gory rofl

OK ladies ... now for something completely different! A PEDICURE TO REMEMBER!
Eastridge has a really relaxing Toenail shop ... you get to sit in a massage chair and relax while you feet are tended to with great care! You come out feeling pampered in the extreme. And, with your newly pampered tootsies, you will be fit to traverse this cute little Mall and there is a good coffee bar where we can refuel!
Lottie and I are meeting about 10.45 a.m. on Wednesday, 15th Feb ... we'd love to have company!
Let NOBODY accuse us of being BORING!!

Great to hear you are enjoying yourself Lindeylew and pleased you have such great weather. I am up to going to the Corogate but not going on my own, as missed out last time. Still it is a long way off as yet and anything can happen. I am busy tracing my family tree so better get back to it. take care all
