Wow, the first (UK and others) phase of the party was a roaring success and with over 300 comments, its time to open a new thread.
Champagne flowed, there was dancing and singing. Good food was eaten (and brought, thank you rashbre).
Clara has cleared away the debris and restocked the buffet tables, which are now groaning under the weight of food. Walt has cleaned all the glasses and is as we speak bringing cases of wine, beer, spirits and, of course, champagne up from the cellar.....
The Brits are now fading away to bed, and it's over to our American and Canadian [coughs and others!] cousins to keep the party going.
So eat, drink and be merry and remember - your only constraint is your own imagination.
When I retire to the Royal Bedchamber, Walt and Clara will look to your every need........and with the reputation they are both getting I mean; every need!

guests, friends - enjoy! Walt and Clara will look after you all - just ask.
I hope to see lots of comments and drunken debauchery when I wake up tomorrow.......
dawnie, for you the latter is pretty much a given :-)
Oh poo. I guess I missed the party. Wait...I think I see some champagne left. *sneaks over and grabs the last bottle*
Better late than never. I need a drink. What's the special of the house? Make it a double.
I'm back after a l-o-n-g hiatus taking care of things over on our side of the pond...Did you actually go to bed CQ?? Or are you lurking from your bed...?
Kitty, dear...second time I'm seeing you today....There was quite a lot of fun and frvolity earlier here...Lots of drinking and much debaching, too..
Oh Walt....Are you free now?
Walt???
Walt, my dear???
WALLTTTTT???
Maybe he drank too much, too.
Well, I'll just help myself to another Cucumber Sandwich...Ohhhh look at that Chocolate cake....Maybe I'll have some of that instead....
Am I alone here?
Oh Waaaaaalllltttt? Wherrrre Arrrre Youuuu?
*in a sing-songy voice*
Maybe he went off with Clara...I bet she is actually passed out from all of her partying...HA!
Goodnight CQ! Clara, did they open the wine I brought earlier? I think I'll have a glass now.
Are you still here, Barbara? I think they did open the wine and I believe Clara drank the entire bottle! (She is a caution, isn't she?)
Oh CQ, I forgot to say I thought your dress was absolutely stunning! Wherever did you get it? Really Really Beautiful!
I'm still here, I just went out to my limousine to get another bottle of wine. Let's crank up the music!
Good idea. Have you seen Walt? I've been trying to...well....to be truly honest..to jukp his nones...ALL night! (I think I'm drunk....another Vodka, please Walt, wherever you are....)
I love that you came in a Limo...very smart. Then you can drink as much as you want and not worry about driving...
LOL, LOL...JUMP his bones...!
Sorry...I'm pissed, you know...three-sheets to the wind!
OldOldlady - I had Walt make you some coffee. I'll have my driver take you home when you're ready.
I think I'll just take a bit of snooze right here on this lovely soft couch in the Ballroom...Lovely room, isn't it?
Oh my. Mum isn't late for the party. Mum, MUM, it is still going on.
Derby's Mum: Well, I am finally able to kick back are relax. Yes a glass of champagne would be wonderful. Oh and some of those lovely shrimp appetizer thingies.
No, champagne? Well, a large glass of whatever you have.
Thanks.
Here anonymous, have some of this fab wine I picked up in the Finger Lakes region of NY. It's called Miss Love, my husband's favorite!
I hope there is something stronger to drink than champagne. I spent all night getting ready for this party and after shelling out hundreds of dollars to get my hair done, you would think it would look half decent. Somehow I managed to resemble a skunk. My hubs is gonna kill me.
There has to be some whiskey around here....
Oh yes, there is plenty of Whiskey and other Spirits..Oh Walt..do take care of this lovelt lady...
If you haven't been out to the Arbor, it's spectacular...
And do try the Crab Cakes...They Are Scrumptious!
I hid some out in the garden, do you want to go for a stroll?
Barbara..are you still here? I had a lovely nap. And I'm ready to drink some more. A Vodka Tonic, please Walt....Oh and has Clara returned from the (*coughs vigorously*) Bedroom, yet?
(*whispering*) Clara was in and out of a number of bedrooms earlier in the evening...
Sounds like Clara has had more than her share of fun for the evening. Perhaps she'd like to share?
I'm getting a nice buzz on here, my toes are warm and fuzzy.
I am not sure thatClara is "into" sharing...You might ask her if you see her!
I just got back from my stroll. Lovely weather craziequeen arranged for her party. Good night Oldoldlady and t, do tell craziequeen how much I enjoyed her party.
I'm feeling a little green around the gills, so I must stumble home now. Have a good night everyone. Was a lovely party for what little I saw. Thanks for the invite. ***hic***
I am arriving...fashionably late :) However, as you all know, my husband is in fact British, which makes ME part British by default, so I am simply loving it here :) It is always a wonderful thing to have a party! Now where is the tea??
Well, I am back after a bit of a rest..I napped CQ whilst..(How British I have become because of the time I spents with Walt...("Much clearing of throat*)...I mean having Walt service me....(*Coughs Very Hard*...SERVE me, is what I meant...lol...Is the party over or just beginning again?
darn! so much for grand entrances...i knew i shouldn't have tried the hot-air balloon! lol! am going in search of the kitchen for some leftovers...:)
Hi Ribbitt...I keep waiting for the Queen to get upo and start to party again! How are you doing? Isn't this fun? Did Walt get you a drinky-poo?
Oh...I didn't see the time....
I guess you've gone on your way dear Rib!
Walt? Where is the Mistress of the Castle?
[creeps gently through the drawing room]
[taps Naomi on the shoulder]
Morning Naomi - it sounds like you had a good night! :-)
Can I treat you to some coffee?
*sound of frying and aroma of croissants and hot cross buns, wafts of hot freshly ground slightly roasted coffee
Good morning cq (your hightness). I had to leave yesterday evening, but couldnt resist being around for a few minutes in that 'after party' next morning moment when everyone is untangling and getting prpared for the new day.
so I've raided the pantry and produced a few bits of breakfast. I have to run along myself in a minute, but a swift french style bowl of cafe au lait before I go, is excellent. Please do excuse my dark glasses.
* gulps coffee, hugs cq and heads for the door. small plain silver wrapped easter egg left behind on kitchen table.
morning rashbre - and yes, I have set Clara to cooking some breakfast...
vodka and champagne don't mix!
Luckily everyone got home ok, except Naomi, who seems to have fallen asleep on that big couch in the corner..bless!
We won't wake her.
Your hamper went down very well, literally :-)
Ohhhhaaahhhh.
Is it morning already Your Majesty?
My my my...I think I just fell over in a heep, sudden-like....too much Vodka or was it wine...well, I think it was both plus a little Grand Marnier and a doppup or two of port...What a grand party this was CQ...so glad I came...Yes, I'll take that coffe now...One For The Road, you know? Did you sleep well, my dear?
DOLLUP! lol, still slightlu drunk, you know?
hi naomi, cq! got lost in your castle. only just found my way back here. what a spread! could i have some of that coffee too? :)
Good morning everyone. I decided to drop back in and see if the party was still going on or winding down.
I am afraid I could not get the wine out of my beautiful dress. I am SO dismayed.
Oh well, is there some coffee ready??
Ummmm.....has anyone seen my underwear?
Genuine...I do believe it is hanging off the Ficus plant in the corner....
*yawn* stretch...what a wonderful place it is here!
