Croquet? Why Yes, I Do Fancy A Game!

Last weekend, I played croquet for the first time. Sadly there were no flamingos, and shocker, I didn't win, but I had a jolly good time whacking balls with my mallet.

I'm not sure what the standard croquet uniform consists of, but I think my orange birds-in-flight romper did the trick. And what's croquet without a bit of crochet? I know, I know, that was horrible...

Now that I've had a taste of the game (and of bitter defeat) I'm off in search of a secondhand croquet set of my own!
