Flounces, furbelows and fairies

Twenty-four Samford Hash Femmes dazzled and entranced the West End locals this last Saturday as they gathered for a gin-soaked High Tea at Covent Garden. My! Don't they scrub up well!

Hugandkiss even encountered a gatecrasher who was attempting an entry in disguise:

The venue provided some elegant fare, and a wide range of even more elegant beverages:

And a great time was had by all:

Thanks to Cadbury and Idle Vice for organising a memorable event!

Then on Sunday...well, it's been a while since we tracked the goats, and this time we did it in style! Our hares Mile High and Hugandkiss provided both gifts and climbing gear so that Samford Hash could adorn the famous Goat Track Fairy Tree!

Even Mollie did her bit:

And the Hash Fairies really got into it!

Back at the hares' place we were treated to a feast featuring Thai chicken curry and many other delights. Many thanks to our stylish hares! Here's a special message from Hugandkiss:

"Thank you to those who carried their Hash Fairy gifts to the Fairy tree. Special thanks to those who climbed the tree and attached them...and a special thanks to [Mile High] for setting up the ladders and rope so boys could be boys. You are all 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟"

Next run details

When: Sunday 13th June, 4 pm

Hare: Leave Pass

Perhaps bring a chair....

On, on!

Saucy Sous and Dumbbell's First Time

Virgin hares Dumbbell and Saucy Sous treated 30 of us to a beautiful sunset circuit around an area we haven't visited for a good many moons. They followed this up with an outstanding gourmet Indian main meal and some sticky date pudding - yum! It was a good reminder that Saucy Sous is a (retired) professional chef, and this is something that anyone feeling a little daunted by the meal really should bear in mind. There's no point in trying to compete, guys - just enjoy!

One point of interest on the walk was the sight of someone on a kayak clearing weeds from her dam. Brrrr....

Back at the hares' we marveled at the equipment in the home gym, and some displayed their ?prowess:

True to his name, Dumbbell has a good collection...

and a chart showing what to do with them:

Miss Demeanour was among those affected by Coloured Cube envy, and took these shots:

The gathering spread out around the length of the pool and out around the firepit in the paddock:

It seems hardly any time since we were celebrating Charcoal's 70th birthday, and incredible that that occasion was 10 years ago! Since then a number of us have joined the ranks of the septuagenarians...but we really don't look any older...do we? Anyway, it was great to sing "Happy Birthday" to an eighty-year-old - and when we get some pics of the cake we'll post them. Congratulations!

By all accounts, next Saturday's Hash Femmes outing is fully organised. As GM, Payback took the opportunity to remind those going that they are representing Samford Hash, and are expected to behave appropriately....Here's a pic by Phiz of a couple of frocked-up ladies enjoying a teapot-full of gin:
