May Day Merriment

[Monique Adelina De'Ath]

My dear friends,

Life throws up many challenges for us all, we all have our personal targets and goals, we are all of differing backgrounds and futures...BUT....what about we all, just for once, unite together in a spirit of peace and harmony for one joyous week of merriment and partying!

Be you a Lord, a Captain, a Priest, an Artist, a Banker, a common soldier, a Docteur or whatever we are all proud French subjects and let's show that through a joint giant knees up! Toast His Majesty, toast France, toast each other....you know it makes sense!

Thus, I shall, on behalf of us all take it upon myself to organise a grand 'May Day Merriment Party', to be held during the first week of May at my club, The Rose and Crown, to which all are invited, with their respective ladies / gentlemen, and let us all be happy together. Come along, don't be stand offish, show you are part of one big family and that you are not adverse to be proud of such. Shall we make it a fancy dress themed party too? I'm up for awarding 100 livres for the best dressed individual / couple and, with a bit of thought, that could be you! Pick your own fancy dress, it's an open invite, how good is that eh!! 

You've a month's clear notice so no excuse not to turn up, it's before the Summer Campaign kicks off and what better way to ready yourself for those that are considering serving at the Front during the Summer months. Yes, thanks to everyone's good friend Docteur, Sieur, Bastian Anton De'Ath, we can all have a splendid time, that's got to be good hasn't it! 

I look forward to seeing ALL of you there.

Docteur De'Ath,

the king is away in May so some of your grandees may be away aswell

And those that aren't may be at the first night party for David and Goliath. Later in the month might see more success.

It's a conspiracy I tell ye.....someone, or some persons, unknow are out to get me!!

Sadly, after my much promoted 'Hack off a Head Party' had to be cancelled it now seems that the same fate is to befall the 'May Day Merriment Party'. I appreciate this will be of immense disappointment to my friends but there appears to be little option and if I were to put it back until June then this will clash with the Summer Campaign, likewise July & August too.

As far as I can see Christmas is likely to be the next opportunity as, surely, that cannot be postponed?! Right.....sigh....damn...the 'May Day Merriment Party' is off, sabotaged...I sniff the meddling hands of some English agent, or maybe it's a Dutchman...could be a Spaniard....behind this but I assure my many supporters I WILL get to host a Party...eventually......
