The table is set – candles are lit

If you could host a dinner and anyone you invite was sure to come, who would you invite?

Good food, good mood

I have spent half a day thinking about if I could host a dinner party and anyone I invite was sure to come who would I invite ? My mind went for the obvious celebrity names past and present, then I scrapped that and really thought about this as if someone had given me this amazing power to have a real out of time and reality experience to never be repeated. So I mentally started planning, please sit back and enjoy the dinner party that should, but can’t, but would love ❤️ to happen.

Good food, good mood

Table set in pure white linen with with silver cutlery and in the centre of the circular table is a low vase with an impressive display of baby’s breath and colourful freesias at least 100 stems of this fragrant flower have gone into this display, creating a beautiful aroma but leaving a clear visionary aspect for everyone around the table nowhere to hide no tall vases or candles. But there were a dozen short candles that had marks on them appearing to be hour marks. So they had a burn time of 5 hrs. Table elegant, simple but tasteful.

Oh the guests, now the first person was my best mate Claire, why? Because she would go mad if she missed this and she is funny, and deserves the next guest. I would send a message to the peaceful resting grounds for Phillip Jones he is Claire’s dad who sadly died in 2017. My reasons are they have a lot to discuss, she was daddy’s girl and this would help her tremendously plus after they had their time he would be the life and soul of the party. I never got to meet him so it would fill that gap for me also.

Next I would ask my step father Ernest (Ern) Moss he died the end of last year 2022. I never got to see him actually haven’t seen him for well over 10yrs. Due to domestic abuse and being moved from pillar to post. Not being able to look back losing family and friends. At least I could tell him how much I love him and thank him for everything. then tell him in person why I had to go and not leave it so people could poison my name further.

Next was Tommy Shelby the actual character. Or should I say in character he would add some interesting talk to the evening in his no nonsense way he would stay as long as the alcohol kept flowing. We would have political and social, business and I wonder what else he would talk about.

Elvis Presley he would be a welcome face and I know he liked to talk about many subjects plus he might just sing a song or two, talking of which;

Dolly Parton I find her fascinating she has amassed a fortune, been married to the same guy forever. Plus started a literary program for children. I really would love her to join us

Tom Jones well I have a thing about him and I want to see what his conversation is like plus I can get him, Dolly and Elvis to sing 🎶 for their supper good thinking or what 😉

Madame CJ Walker she was an African/American Female entrepreneur, philanthropist and a political and social activist recorded in the Guineas book of records as the first self made female millionaire in America b1867-d1919 . Now she could really liven things up and entertain with her knowledge and be disgusted and amazed with today’s generation.

Just because I can I would like to invite the character Olivia Walton from Waltons Mountain to give her a break from that whining family of hers. Poor woman she talked a lot of sense but those kids well I know the feeling, so I thought she could have the night off and relax. Let someone else cook and clear away.

Okay that’s nine guests and myself so even number of 10 , food will appear when we are seated and I ring the hand bell 🔔. What I forgot to say the guests only have to think of their favourite food from there time it will appear in front of them. Drinks glasses refill without you noticing and dirty dishes just vanish. Well it is but a fantasy. Though if I had a wand I would give my friend one more day with Phil

Lovely array of dinner guests as well. It definitely reflects that you took some time on this prompt, it is very thoughtful and personal. Love it!
