Whereever you find people from Longfield you always find not only people willing to sing and entertain but also to party!
Yesterday a bunch of us were invited to Barbara´s "Lichthäusl" - nobody knew what that was, and we all thought of a fireplace out in the open. Instead it turned out to be a Finish hunting hut with an indoor fireplace and grill. We all came dressed with 20 layers of warm clothing and Winter boots, but instead of a fire out in the rain and the cold we arrived at something cosy and warm and comfortable.
Outside it was pitchblack dark, the wind was blowing and it was raining - and inside it was warm and hospitable and the fire was shining.
It was so warm that we let the door open - otherwise it would have been more like sauna! Thanks Gods all of us had enough layers to take off! Come inside and meet your friends...
Good food, good drinks, good friends - what more do you need? We also had a good laugh! Oh well, a typical Longfield event. We just need a platform to get started.
And honestly, I have never been at an LGS party where there wasn´t too much food and where anyone of us went hungry. We just love to eat, who doesn´t? And it makes inviting people so much easier, because everybody brings along plenty (in addition to the heap you prepare yourself), and afterwards the host has about another week to wonder what to do with the left-overs *gg*).
At first none of us had known what a "Lichthäuschen" is - afterwards we all knew: It is a warm and bright place where you meet friends and feel comfy. What a great idea! We come back any time, thank you so much for having us!
Today I am in a poetic mood, so I want to close with the words of Chris de Burgh in one of his wonderful songs:
"We must send the word to all the people in the land,
go to every hill and mountain,
for the time is now at hand
To light a fire!
go to every hill and mountain,
for the time is now at hand
To light a fire!
They will see it through the world!"
