Cricket and Check out....

Ooooo. You know I love my cricket. Hubbie's school had a "Brits against the World" match the day before the last day of school. It was fabulous. Of course what's not to love. It was sunny, warm ( maybe too warm), there was food and drink. A true cricket day. Did I mention the drink? Beer, wine, water, squash and of course, Pimms. Oi. Lovely.

Dolly and Richard on the grill. Burn baby burn





The match started off well with the Internationals batting.Then it was all out, and the Brits took tot bats. It rapidly went down hill after that. My man was too eager, and on his first bowl, it was wickets down. Boo. He never got his chance. He was robbed!!
We toted our own picnic and ate Coronation chicken salad sandwiches, Mexican coleslaw, macaroni salad and gluten free brownies. And there was, of course, Bellini s. Mmmmm.







Then today, the last official day of RCDS, we attended the all faith service at Eaton Square. The lovely old church had quite the modern interior.







Back at Seaford House, they held the end of the year Award ceremony. Students were awarded for their dissertations, sport achievements, and over all "Good Egg" award ( the popularity award).



 All wrapped up, we headed to Hyde park Corner and the Bap gal for a burger. So there we sat, in the park dressed in suits and fascinator. Oh not together, I had the fascinator. So this ends the school portion of our journey here in the UK. Now three weeks of running around, waiting for the movers and our flight.

  2. Sis-in-law, that could be one of 4. Oh well, since you won't sign in I can't tell who you are, but it was a great time. Didn't get an award, but that is okay.
