Croquet fashion

Today we decided to play a friendly game of croquet in the backyard at the summer cottage. Nothing says sophisticated  "la belle epoque" style, or perhaps even more so "annĂ©es folles" (eng: roaring twenties), than a nicely garbed game of croquet.
After a very heated game (where even grandmom had to forfeit after her ball caused her to "peg out"), the mallets where eventually laid to rest and Kim won a victory, celebrated with some cold Lumumba long-drink grogs later on.

Just one more hoop.

Victory at last!
