May.

ohmy.gif Great May! Liddy and I don't go to the Purple Camel to drink!!!!!!! We go there to entertain with our wonderful song and piano act and to offer a bit of culture to the locals. Sometimes we go there to have a gossip with our friends and sometimes to laugh and point at the men wearing their red carnations after having been to find their future wives at the Maggiemay Dating Agency. She holds her meetings in the back room of the local flower shop every thursday afternoon and by friday she has lined up a whole herd of ladies for the men to meet. They all go along wearing red carnations that she sells to them for a pound a time. biggrin.gif The Purple Camel Upstairs is good fun too, especially if there is a function on. Lidd and I gatecrash them regularly. smile.gif
They do good nosh and no-one tries to poison any body. Well, apart from that time when Stella from number 23 found her husband there wearing two red carnations!

Lavvy was Lavinia. She was in me 'ouse when I blew up the gas ring. I diddun know she was there, but she reckons she was, so if she says she was, then she was, I guess. blink.gif

Don't you know nuffink May?
petrat
Here Lidd, have some mint to chew on. It works wonders for my Dobbin when he gets colic.
St Paul's Cathedral eh? That sounds a bit posh if you don't mind me saying so Lidd. Was that your Philma's idea or Great Mays? They've got a nice loud organ in there. Do you think that it will be on the telly?
We'll have to look our very best if it is. I wonder how many forumites will come. Let's advertise free beer and then there will be lots!
Shall we book May a spot at The Camel Upstairs next week Lidd? We could take the over seventies there for a laugh! laugh.gif
The Old Lady
So you blew her up then Liddy, no wonder she haunts you. I'm surprised she doesn't throw things at you............ oh, better not give her ideas unsure.gif
Nothing wrong with St.Pauls, I always like a large organ, why do you think I am so deaf laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif
Addy, sometimes I do wonder who is the posh one...."We don't go to the Camel for a drink"...... you are so refined blink.gif
What shall I do for my spot then......."My old man", or "Pack up your troubles", or "Bring me the whisky and I'll get 'em orf". Any suggestions on the back of a plain postcard please.
Don't the potential suitors get all mixed up with the ladies wearing the same colour carnations unsure.gif Just wondering.
May.

Yoo hoo ladies! Ta everso fer that stompin' great 'orse pill ya gave me Add! Worked a treat it did! Feel much better taday darlin'. I don't know 'ow you expected me ta swallow it in one go though darlin'. Yous know I gotta very pateet mouf! rolleyes.gif

'Ere May,swee'eart, you sure you don't mean St Pauls Cafe? I can't see my Philma gettin' wed in a bloomin' great place like that Cafe Edral. Far too posh fer the Coal-Bunkers ay Add? Me an' my Iva got 'itched in our shelter durin' the war. Bloomin' doodle bugs makin' a racket an'all. My old mum said ta me "Lidd, it don't matter where ya get wed. Just keep remindin' im oo's in charge and ya won't go wrong." My Iva noo 'oo was in charge alright. Still, we 'ad a nappy marriage til 'e got mixed up wiv Annie Filactic among uvvers.

So, May- a word of advice to ya darlin'. Let my Philma know you's in charge, but let 'im see ya luv's 'im, and we'll get on a treat you an' me. Let 'im dahn, and you'll 'ave me Arfur on to ya. Can't say fairer than that can I sweet? Even though ya tried ta poison me! ph34r.gif

We out anywhere tonite then gels? I'm rarin' ta go now me belly's be'avin' itself agen! I knows what- I got some flour an' powdered eggs left over. Come rahnd an' we can toss our pancakes up on the ceilin'!!

Laters luvvies
Liddy xxx
The Old Lady
Yes, THE Cathedral Liddy. You will have to be good you know, and not let Philma down. You'll have to eat with a knife and fork, and not pour your tea in a saucer to cool huh.gif There will be some very important people there from the upper itchilons of society ohmy.gif You are very important of course, as the Bridegrooms' Mother, which makes me wonder whether you should be a bridesmaid??? What do you reckon Addy?? Should she or shouldn't she?? A bridesmaid with a bouquet, or a Mum with the big hat. HMmmmmmmmm?
Great Aunt May.
appleblossom
Talkin' of big 'ats darlin. I fahnd them traffic cones you 'ad before. I'm gonna decorate 'em so's me an' Add can wear 'em wiv our dresses I'm knittin'. D'ya want one May, luvvy, or are ya gonna be tradishonal and 'ave a net curtain on yer 'ead?
The Old Lady
Liddy, if you think you are wearing knitted dresses you can't come to the wedding. You will have to come shopping with me. I hear the nautical look is in again this year, so you'll look lovely in navy and cream dear. Do you think you can manage heels, or will you go for pumps?? I can see you with some heavy gold chains too. How do you think this is shaping up then?? wink.gif
P.S Where on earth is Addy?
Great Aunt May.
appleblossom
Stroof May- where's ya sense a fun gorn? I could decorate them cones so's no one would know what they were. I gotta loada mice Tiddles bought in fer me and I've sprayed 'em all colours. Now ya wanna weddin' where we all gotta say "'Ello Sailor!" I fought you was gonna 'ave red and green an' cream?

I s'ppose I suit navy quite well. You wanna keep ya links wiv all them fellas off the boats, ay sweet? I know's what you're up ta. Gold chains eh? My Arfur "borrered" a chain from the local mayors office. I'll stick that rahnd me neck then you's all gotta curtsey and showa bitta respect to the grooms muvver. I can still wear a paira heels ta vey much swee'eart. Where we goin' fer the outfits then? Army an' Navy reject stores?

I dunno where Addys gorn! Where ya gorn Addy? Addy where are ya? Coo eee Add! Ya there gel?

Here I am Ladies! Addy's back in town! smile.gif I went out for a hack on old Dobbin and it was such fun that we kept going, and going and going! And now we are miles away using one of these internet cafe things. Great for sending posts but no food anywhere. Dobbin and I are off home again in a few minutes.
I love the traffic cone idea Lidd. Let's both have them, and we could put a couple of rows down the aisle too with a plant sticking out of the top of each one.
I think as it is St. Paul's we should do a posh wedding sone so I have dug out "Let the Bright Terrapin" for us to do. What do you think Lidd?
Do you know the song "Skater Boy" Lidd? I am sure that I heard Great May singing it the other day."She was a boy, he was a girl" you know it Lidd. laugh.gif
Off home on Dobbin now. Speak soon. Add.
The Old Lady
On second thought Lid, you could do the traffic cones. No mice though, but you could dress them up and put chiffon down the back like a medieval "lady". Could you be a lady for the day Lid?? laugh.gif

They will look a treat Liddy. Are you having a long dress to go with the medieval theme. Thinking on a few stops.............shall we have a medieval blanket wedding?? Just go the whole hog....... laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif
Maybe Addy can do a turn on her medieval instruments, and get everyone dancing.
I wonder where she has got to as well...............reckon she's gorn orf with Clarry Larry Barry then. Maybe they've gone for a dirty weekend in Cleethorpes blink.gif Hope she hasn't got all her Bridget Jones undies, because Clarry Larry will get totally confused huh.gif rolleyes.gif laugh.gif

I can't decide the theme Liddy. Shall we go for the medieval look or the nautical or the red/green/cream??

petrat


Well Lidd, What have you let us in for now? Mediaeval sailor girls with traffic cones on our heads and my crumhorn for dancing later! I am not sure that I can sing "Let the Bright Terrapin" with a cone on mt head. I may have to change hats for that bit. What about the tea cosy with some lucky heather stuck on top?
And Harry Parry and I did not have a dirty weekend away. I would not go near the man after the shameful way that he treated you Liddy or that poor old Ma Threadneedle.
I went on a lovey round the county trip with my pal Dobbin and we had a great time. He had a friend at a farm a few miles away so we went to visit her. A lovely little mare with a flaxen mane and tail. She doesn't have a name but the old farmer just calles her "Old Girl". Debussy wrote a nice piano piece for her when she was a filly.
We are on our way back again now so I'll be home later today. Want to come over to my place to talk weddings Lidd and Great May? I'll make a casserole and some fresh bread and we can gossip about it all over supper. I suppose that Philma should be there too Lidd as he is quite involved. Want to bring him too Liddy or will he just leave the planning to the ladies?
We met an absolute nut-case in the next village LIdd. He was called George and he was a bit of a down-and-out. He had been something big in the city, or so he said, but now he has moved to the country and is making a study of folk-lore and talked a lot about dragons, poor fellow. He really had lost it Lidd. Sad when people get deluded like that. Dobbin took to him though. He kept giving him polo mints.
Almost home now ladies. I'll give Dobbin a rub-down and then I'll get cooking. See you both later.
The Old Lady
Ahhhhhhhhh, so you've met St George then Addy. Sad isn't it tongue.gif
Glad you are back though. Tonight sounds wonderful. I'll bring my death by cherry stones for pudding, and a bottle of claret to go with the casserole. Not road kill this time Addy?? huh.gif
We are in a quandry with the wedding theme dear. From red/cream/green, to A naughtycal theme, to a medieval banquet. Have a think Addy, it's got to be good, because it's Philma's first wedding and he needs to remember it for the rest of his life blink.gif
May.
petrat
May, I am quite sure that poor Philma will remember his first wedding! Does he have any say in the theme for it?
Yes, it is sad about George, He is a wandering nutter who thinks that he is a saint! I don't know what he was in the city but it must have been really stressful to have caused him to go so absolutely raving loopy have such a change of character. smile.gif He really is an oddbod and mo mistake. Nor one of your ex boyfriends is he May? That could have turned him you know.
And Lidd! Are you on your way old bean? The casserole is on, the pud is made, (although Great May made it and it looks pretty foul if you don't mind me saying so.) and there is some red wine stuff here too. May says that it is clarinet or something but it looks like ribena and prune juice to me.
Knock at the door! That must be you Liddy. Here I come.
appleblossom
Yoo hoo ladies! I'm 'ere! Bit late, but I 'ope ya got some a that nice stoo left, Add. Ta darlin'. I saw that George fella on the way 'ere. 'E says 'e's lookin' fer the dragon. I says "ya met Addy before, sweet". Funny innit? Anyways, I give 'im a big Liddy 'ug and sent 'im on 'is way. Poor fella- what you's pickin' on 'im for anyways?

Well, d'ya like me 'ats darlins? I'm right proud of 'em I reelly am! Yours is the bloo one Add, and mines cream wiv luvverly pictures on. Harrys is the pink one! Try it on Add- I wanna make sure it fits ya big'ead darlin'. ooo ya look smashin'!!

We don't need Philma 'ere. 'E'll only run off wiv our outfits. Larrys comin' over to sort out the stag do. We ladies gonna 'ave an 'en night then? We could sit in ya yard wiv all your hens ay Add? Be a laff won't it??

I 'ad me second singin' lesson tonite gels! I managed a top F apparently! Broke every glass in me 'ouse as well as me teachers specs! Poor fella- looked like that Mr Magoo off the telly! I did laff though! biggrin.gif biggrin.gif We sang abaht Bridget layin' over troubled water by that Lemon and Carbunkle pair. Nice toon innit? D'ya want me ta sing it at ya weddin, May, ay May? What d'ya say May?

Pass us a glass of clarinet then gels. That singin' dries ya froat don't it? Ta ladies.

'Ere May- where ya goin' on ya Funnymoon fing then? Me an' Add always go away wiv Philma don't we Add? We'll be comin' wiv yous two darlin'! That'll be nice won't it?? biggrin.gif laugh.gif
petrat
Plenty of stew left Lidd. Bung your dish over. Have another glass of clarinet too. May says that it is only medicinal! She should know, being in some kind of coma already after only two bottles of the stuff.
I fancy the mediaeval theme and we could dress Dobbin up like one of those war horses and put Philma in a suit of armour! Would you like that May? We could borrow that daft George's one. What does he think that he looks like padding around the place dressed like a knight ready for battle? You tell him that, apart from her at the Post office, there are no dragons here. He could try the Forum Cafe perhaps.
Right, I am going to run through "Let the Bright Terrapin" and you can tell me what you think. laugh.gif
appleblossom
Cor that stoo woz luvverly Add! Full to over flowin' I am now darlin'. Good evenin' we 'ad diddun we?

Well I'm 'ome agen now and I just 'ad the fright of me life darlin' I reelly did! I went dahn me garden singin' "Can You Not Bear My Lady" when I sees summink glintin' in the sun! I goes up to it and it sits up!! Stroof if it weren't that George fella right there in me garden!! I screamed me 'ead orf wiv shock!

"What ya doin' in me garden, George?" I says
"I wanna nuvver hug Lidd" 'e says
"Get yaself up out me rose bush then" says I

Ya shoulda sin it Add. All me prize blooms squashed flat as me pancakes we 'ad last week. Sorry state of affairs I've found meself in.

"look what ya dun ta me roses ya great tin lummock!" I says
"Sorry" says 'e "I'll get ya some more if ya give ma an 'ug"

I felt a right old prune Add. There I was tryin' ta get me arms rahnd a lumpa metal in me garden! That Iva Big-Nose come rahnd just at that minute when I 'ad me arms rahnd George. It's gonna be all rahnd tahn now. 'E's on 'is way up to you now Add. Give the poor boy some oil or summink. 'E's a bit rusty if ya get me meanin'! Hehe!! biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

We gonna 'ave a fine old time on May and Philmas Funnymoon ay Add? Though I fink Philma mentioned bloomin' old Clacton! Ain't bin there fer years! Full of old people it is..not our kinda fing at all darlin'. When we off ta Spain then or 'ave ya forgot?

I needs a drink after the shock I 'ad Add. Be back in a minute darlin'
Bye fer now
Lidd xxxxxx
petrat
Right, that has got George sorted out! He did call here after being to your place and flattening your roses Lidd, so I told him to go away and to try it on with her at Chamberpot Cottage. Then I turned the hose pipe on him! biggrin.gif That'll rust his suit of armory up nicely! What does he think he is?

May is still out for the count after all of that clarinet stuff that she drank. I still think that it looked like ribena and prune juice though. I kept well clear of it. She must be so excited that we are all going on honeymoon together. I hope that they choose some where a bit warmer than here though. My old bones could do with a bit of sunshine. What about the south of France for a week Lidd?

I had forgotten about Spain in all t the excitement with the wedding too. We must sort out our repertoires, and get practising. Do you think that one of our Victorian song evenings would go down well there? I'll bet that we'd get them rocking in the aisles with Home, Sweet Home and Cherry Ripe!

Did you know that that nice Katyjay lady wants me to sing a solo at Leeds with her choir as my backing group Lidd? I had to refuse as I didn't want to show the younger learners up with my great beauty of vocal control and agility. She was so disappointed I can tell you. And that Skylark person wanted me to conduct the full orchestra as I sang "Rule, Britannia" to end but that mean old Harry Parry would not let me. He can be so jealous of my talent you know Lidd. I'll sort him out though! I'll set Great May on to him! She can be a real rottweiler at times.

Right, let's have a panad while we wait for May to sober up.
The Old Lady
Groans.............ooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh my head. How many glasses of wine did you give me Addy?? What did you put in it?? Not more horsey hoofy stuff I hope, my corns just won't stand for it unsure.gif
What's this about you coming on my honeymoon with us. Philma won't like that at all, you'll put him off Liddy huh.gif
I like the medieval idea, and Dobbin dressed up will look a treat. What shall we do with Tiddles huh.gif
Great Aunty May.
petrat
Great May! You are back! laugh.gif I think that it was the second bottle that you drank through that straw that did it! Don't blame us if you are a bit too fond of your booze! It might be the norm in some royal circles but you are marrying Liddy's Philma and there's nothing upper crust about him May.
He wants us to come on his honeymoon too. He told his mam so. We think that the poor lad will need support and protection once he becomes Mr. Great May. Possibly even court of protection onceyou get your hands on his money.
Liddy's Tiddles is going to be the ring bearer so he can come as he is with the rings on his tail. Perhaps he'll go for a bow tie and just one or two glitter mice.
Are you really sure about this idea of using St. Paul's too May? I thought that you had to get wed in your local parish church or in a register office. It seems like rather a waste of money if you don't mind me saying so May. Liddy's pension will not go far you know and there is no father of the bride to help with costs is there? laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif (He'd be at least one hundred and fifty years old if there was Lidd!)
Here, May. Have a fried egg butty. It will do your head good.
appleblossom
Hello gels. Glad we got that old rust bucket St George sorted. Just come in from sortin' out me roses. I stuck 'em all back wiv glue so's no-one will notice they bin sat on.

Right, as the muvver of the groom I bin avin' a chat wiv me Philma. 'E don't want no messin' abaht in no St Pauls Cafe. I tells 'im Addys got plenty a room in 'er fields and as we're (Finally) goin' fer the Meddy Evil feme, 'e wants one a them Markee fings wiv flags an' everyfink. Sahnds good ta me and will save ya a bob or two, ay May? I got some more cones, and Addys gonna stick some of 'er dandy lions in the top of 'em. The local chippy will provide the bankwet and the offy will give us cheap ale! Sahnds a grand affair ay May?

If we can get some oil on the old tin man and get summink in the way of armour for Larry, we can 'ave some joustin' goin' on an' all!

What do you's two reckon on that then?

Raypond si voo play!! That's wot ya put on the invites innit? By the way, who are you invitin' May? I fink it's only you, me, Addy, Larry, Tin Man, Philma, Dobbin an' Tiddles comin' so far! Ain't a very big do is it? blink.gif blink.gif
petrat
What a briliant idea Lidd. There is plenty of room in my fields for a big tent or two. We can even have a toilet tent. That will save my little bathroom any wear and tear from wild guests.
The catering idea is good too. We are still a bit short on guests though. I think that most of Great May's friends are in the Lavvy Land now. Do you suppose that any of them will drop in? They won't eat or drink much if they do. biggrin.gif
Off to play my natural horn now. Talk later.

A medieval wedding with tents, jousting, Knights in amour, food and drink..........what could be better. I think even Charlie Boy and Cami-Knickers will like it. There will be about 200 on my side, how many from yours Liddy??
The fish and chip shop will need to do a hog roast and plenty of chicken legs. Booze is booze/ rolleyes.gif

Course ya can sweet! biggrin.gif biggrin.gif laugh.gif we need to take plentya measurements so's we get it right ay darlin'? Hehe!! biggrin.gif

Ooh, you two are really rather undignified old ladies to be sure. Remember that you have to behave now May. You are spoken for so keep well away from anything like inside leg measurements! You are about to be a respectable married woman again. Behave!
And Lidd! As the late Iva Coal-Bunker is long gone I think that you can go ahead and have your fun, but don't lead May astray. She is about to become your daughter-in-law. laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif

Does anybody want to look in yellow pages for tents?
appleblossom
Alright darlin' keep ya 'air on!! You'll 'ave one of ya turns. Old May can take the measurements dahn in 'er pad. I won't let 'er anywhere near the boys or me tape measure!

I got me Yeller pages darlin'. Let me see now...oh yeah..tents. They got- Big Tents, Small Tents, Frame Tents, Ridge Tents, Bell Tents, Arctic Tents, Punch and Judy Tents, Loo Tents, Push-a-button-and-it-puts-itself-up Tents. No bloomin' sign of any Markees! 'Ang on a minute sweet. I got 'em- Marquees. Funny old spellin' innit? 'Ow many do we need d'ya fink?
petrat
I suppose that we will need one massive one if May really has got 200 guests. We'll need a few loo tents too so perhaps we could arrange those in a row by the beer tent. (May wants one of those!) And perhaps a tent to display the wedding gifts too? Gosh Liddy, it will look like a small village by the time we have finished.

I thought that we might build a bandstand out of straw bales too. We can stick a harmonium on the top and invite that Fsharpminor man to play it. He is pretty good and probably a lot less expensive than that Mr. B now that he is a fully accredited fellow of the Cwn Twrch Conservatoire.

Can you guess what May is going to wear yet Lidd?
St George
I say darlings, 'Rusty Bucket' to the rescue!

I have a couple of spiffing old marquees that I used on my last crusade. Don't need them anymore. So, if you gals want them, their yours!... only cost you a cuddle each!!!! wink.gif

Now about measuring me up for me dashing new suit...form an orderly que, and please warm your hands ladies.

Golly gee sweet Liddy babes, sorry bout your beautiful blooms! Got a bit carried away - it's the effect you have on me Lady Liddy rolleyes.gif

Cor that's a lotta tents darlin'! 'Ow we gonna get 'em to ya field then? and who's gonna put 'em up? I used ta be one of them Gel Guide fings so I know where ta put me Dollys an' Guy ropes! That's abaht it. Got me Campers badge though! Were you a Gel Guide Add? Or were ya too busy playin' wiv the Scouts Woggles?! Hehe! Brings back memories ay sweet?

Got no idea what Mays wearin'. There could be a spare tent for 'er! Our dresses are comin' on well swee'eart. Me knittin' needles ain't stopped all day. I got some old net curtain fer Mays 'ead if she wants it. Gorn a bit yeller over the years, but beggars can't be choosers- ain't that right Add? Me an' Iva got married in our gas masks! Was only when 'e took 'is orf i could see what 'e looked like! Stroof Add! What a sight befell me poor old eyes. Never mind. 'E was a good sort really I suppose.

My old mum used ta say "Lidd- ya don't need ta look at 'is face. Just keep an eye on 'is wallet!" She were right an' all.

Fancy a sherry do ya darlin'? We better drink a toast to the 'appy couple. I'll fink of summink ta say after a bottle or two....

Just a small sherry Lidd. Have you seen that bribe kind offer from George? Some men will do anything for a hug Lidd. Still, we do need to keep the costs down so if he would really like to lend them to us I suppose that we could close our eyes and think of the happy couple. Let's tell him to go ahead. Great May will be pleased!
There is a way of making old nets white again but I forget how to do it. It was something to do with a bluebottle in the wash I think.
Want a welsh cake Lidd? I made them today.
