Competition Time

I must tell you this before we move on to matters which have occurred in the village recently.🏑🏑🏑

 

Just before the lockdown a gentleman knocked at the door to which Horace answered dressed in his butlers outfit (come on what’s strange about this, you would not want to see Horace in the buff) this gentleman asked Horace if he would like to make a donation towards a new community swimming pool being built in a neighbouring parish, so Horace scuttled off and returned with a glass of water.πŸš°πŸ’§πŸŠβ™‚οΈπŸŠβ™€οΈ

 

Where were we, yes as has been reported previously, our village is known for its community spirit, some residents have more spirit than others, it just depends on the size of their drinks cabinet.🍷🍷🍷

 

Though a small village there are many organisations within it, such as, the runner bean growing society, the ladies exhibition drinking team, and of course the newly formed botty coughing club who were going out on tour in 2020, so the lockdown has come as a bit of a blow to them.πŸΊπŸ·πŸΊπŸ’¨πŸ’¨πŸ’¨

 

However, one of the newer organisations is the bee keeping club who’s Honorary Secretary is Tizzy Talskiddy a founder member of the exhibition drinking team, so as you can imagine, alcohol runs in her veins.🐝🐝🐝

 

Tizzy felt in these times of lockdown that of a Saturday evening, using the miracles of technology such as Skype, the bee keeping club could hold an on line yard of ale drinking competition (this could get messy)πŸ“‘βŒ¨οΈπŸ’»

 

Most members of the bee keeping club are quite extravert so it will come as no surprise they keep quite a few gallons of beer tucked away at home for a rainy day, so they had plenty of ammunition in order to participate in this event.😜🍺🍺🍺

 

You may be asking, what would be used for the yard glass, as luck would have it Nancy Nancarrow (of Reliant Robin fame) just happens to do a bit of glass blowing on the side and in recognition of the bee keeping club being set up, she made every member a yard glass and engraved their name into it.πŸš™πŸΉπŸΈ

 

I can hear you all saying who would go first for timing purposes etc, well Agnes Penrose (Walter’s wife) had thought of this and had arranged for Horace’s dog Nipper to load up his wheelbarrow with tins of beer and deliver a can and place on each club members driveway.🐢

 

What the competitors had not realised was that Agnes had vigorously shaken one of the cans, everyone was asked to open their tins together on Skype, you guessed it whoever got sprayed in beer had to go first. πŸ’¦πŸ’¦πŸ’¦πŸ’¦πŸ’¦

 

You must all try this one night with your family and friends on line, it really is good fun and gets everyone revved up for the evening in these abnormal times.

β€œMrs P have you put extra washing powder on the shopping list”.πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

 

 

I will leave you with this thought, Horace wants to do his bit in order to protect the ozone layer. He has decided to stop using spray on deodorant, and bought himself one of the old fashion deodorant sticks. He read the instructions which said β€œremove cap and push up bottom”.πŸ™ˆ

 

Thank you so much for looking at my photographs, the comments and banter you leave are so appreciated. Take care and have a lovely weekend.
