Orange Wellies

A pair of Veuve Clicquot wellies.  That's all I could think about....  Bestie and I held a jug of Pimms, carefully balanced drinks on each arm and were navigating a rain-sodden path to our seats, when two ladies in black uniform, VC orange wellies and matching aprons strode by.  Neigh, they practically skipped by in their super orange footwear.   Flaunting their ability to run through the rain and mud without hinderance.  Our eyes locked on the boots, and we both nodded approvingly.  We want!  If our hands and limbs weren't already handicapped by drinks and espadrille wedges, we may have tackled the ladies for a pair.

Yes, it rained at the Polo, it rained in the early afternoon, and all the way home, but it was a thoroughly enjoyable day, and I managed to snap a few frames during the matches.  All I can say is, well done to all the players who got out there in the wet weather.  Team Abu Dhabi was the overall winner, though Team New York may have won the hearts of a few spectators.  Devils on horsebacks, thundering down sidelines, breaking mallets, all under the coverage of a grey-rain-sodden-afternoon.  Call it dedication or madness, either way, it made me smile.  We writers understand that crazed, hungry look, right?

Team New York v. Team Moscow

Yes, that is a hat to the left...

A/N: A fun day at the Polo in the park, London.  These pictures don't quite do justice to the speed of the sport, it's really exhilarating to watch. Thundering horsemen, indeed.  I definitely recommend it for a fun day out!  Have a lovely week!
