Are any of you good folk (or even Seamus or Lord Jarhead) planning on attending the Queens Tea opening day?

I have never been, and I plan on going this season, but I would like to go when all of you folk are planning on attending, as I KNOW that will be MUCH more fun (and hopefully a tad NAUGHTIER)...

A very good time, but I was waiting for "Musical Men" as I heard that was particularly entertaining...

Something for next time I guess...,

Don't get me wrong here, I love Musical Men, but I think of it as a really special treat Madge offered up for us at tea on a few occassions. As I recall, it's a difficult game to play with a large group in the tented area and in the time constraint given for Tea Time. Tea seemed to me to be a respite with Her Majesty and the chance to hear some enjoyable acts you might have missed in the lanes. Of course there was that one year the Queen offered to teach us a new dance and someone fell flat on her face... :D

Lady DArbanville

The tumbling act was fun to watch, BUT, the L O N G explanation on the facts of 'tea' was pretty lengthy and boring. Yes, I know that it is the 'Queens Tea', but as she puts it, "What happens at Queens Tea, stays in Queens Tea". My question to this is, "what exactly would that be?" LOL!  Just wondering if that could be helped along some how. ? Maybe get the mundanes involved more? I do not have an answer to that. But please, don't get ME wrong, I enjoyed my time there because I was surrounded by friends. To me that is worth every dime.

Aye. Heard that time spent with friends thing.  :)


I posted this thought last night and then gave it a second thought and deleted it, but here goes again...

Mayhaps Madge might whisper in the Queens ear and let us play a game of Musical Men in the lanes one morning at Meet and Greet. Or perhaps she might arrange to let us have a brief dance one day at Tea? We learned a fun little dance in MIRF with Elizabeth. Of course I about took someone out with my swinging chain belt...I'm dangerous apparently.  :D

Hi All!

I LOVE Musical Men, too!  heehee.  But Anna is correct, it is sometimes hard to do at Queen's Tea: time, whether or not there are enough men, etc.  Tea right now is not what I would have it be, and I am in the process of reworking it.  Please try it, I promise a good time.  Maybe "Gelding the Devil", but definitely more interaction.
Live so your dreams recognize you.

It seems to me we seem to take over St. Patty's weekend in the Shire, so maybe either then or the last weekend would be a good fit for our fair queen to work Musical Men into her tea. ;)

Fun to participate in, but still a hoot and much safer to watch ;)

Does going to Queens Tea mean having to leave the Pub?  Or is it at least well within refill distance?  Or the third possibility, is it possible to get lost on the way to the pub and wind up at Queens Tea?     

I am just trying to find out how there was a picture of Lord Jarhead and Count Adolfo with teacups ????

The pub is directly accross the lane.

As for the tea cups, well...

Now I am not SAYIN' that there was a flask there.
And I not SAYIN' that it was being passed.
But there you have it...

And I'm not admitting to what I was adding to my hot tea ... No, I would never have done that, Your Grace

And, yes, I do love fish with my tea *giggling*
