Mrs b and I went to see some friends tonight for a meal and a friendly game of croquet. It's hard to stay friends with people you're playing croquet against... but we managed it (Ithink the wine helped!).

Definitely the wine does help. OK I don't remember the wicket being between to hops, unless you play it differently then we do over here in North America.

Cool shot and great colours

The last time I played croquet was with my BFF the fall of 2010

The wicket is in the centre of all the hoops and is the last thing you have to hit with your ball after going throgh all the hoops. if you "peg-out" first, then you win.

I used to play that a lot when I was a kid. Fantastic shot, Steve.

Someone must have sent your balls to flying Caruso. I don't know whether they are friends or not. :)
Haven't played in years. A cool shot.

This is something I played as a kid, don't ever see anyone playing it around here, very cool, and it sounds like a fun time.

**if you "tap-out" first**

Boy...that wine must be good if you ending up 'Tap Dancing'!...

And How'd you manage to shoot in a straight line too!...

Woot....nice one Steve

I tried it once - I blamed the wine for my abyssmal performance :) It is much more difficult than it looks and the rules are confusing.
Nice post !

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
