Day 31 – Polo & Pubs

So today, Scott went out for the Windsor bike ride. But he actually got home at 12 because they did not stop for tea & cake. Scott said the riders are quite good and fast. And Scott couldn’t keep up. Luckily he was able to make it back without even needing the map on his phone. Once he got back, we all took baths and showers and put on skirts, dresses and slacks and headed to Polo. Our house had a picnic basket so we filled it up with stuff to eat, water & wine and headed out for a picnic right by the Polo match. I had Pretty Woman playing in my mind the whole time. I didn’t have my polka-dot tan dress or a hat, but we went out and turned the divits over during the half-time. We warned the girls of “Steaming Divits” and Scott & Emily found a few that they didn’t turn. The whole thing was quite comical. We watch ½ of one match and the entire second match. I think it was just a scrimmage between the club members because some of them switched teams after the first match. The guy announcer during the first match was replaced by a woman. We thought the guy was funny until we heard her. She was clearly inebriated and was calling the players by the wrong name. Once she called a ball as out when the team had actually scored. She was sacked (her words) after two periods by the brother of one of the players who would do a better job (again her words). It was a very relaxing fun day. Then we walked over to The Fox and Duck pub across the street for dinner. They were unfortunately not serving food but we had some drinks and the girls played pool. Scott struck up a conversation with one of the locals who was bringing stuff over. He even took our trash from the picnic basket.

Then we headed up to the New Inn for dinner since we knew they’d be serving til 8. Then off to home, and bed early.

Now I want to watch Pretty Woman again.
