HAC Polo at Ham Polo Club 2014.

Most of our friends were having a sit-down meal in the clubhouse, but Edd and I decided to have our own fancy picnic with my stolen Veuve Clicquot gear from Cowdray (aka, VC branded picnic blanket and champagne glasses). Our picnic consisted of champagne. That is all.

I ‘accidentally’ left the food (grapes and a bag of percy pigs) in my car. It was brilliant, we sprawled on the soft picnic blanket glugging sipping champagne while gossiping and catching up on our social lives.

Half an hour later and one bottle of champagne down, the blanket was covered in spillages and Edd’s two lovely friends turned up. I decided it was time to go and see our friends in the clubhouse and get my shoes from Peter since I left them at his place after the pool party the other week, so off I trotted/strutted/crawled and left Edd with my handbag, VC goodies, and the girls. I didn’t leave the clubhouse until 9 hours later. Woops.

Inside the clubhouse it was free-flowing champagne, so Edd and the girls wandered over with my handbag and joined in the revelry. A few hours later Jasiminne finally arrived after getting lost in Staines, STAINES! We then finally decided it would be an excellent idea to take part in the divot stomping… let’s just say we look very happy. I love this photo so much!

Cain was playing, however we didn’t really watch anything as we were all too busy chatting (sorry!), that is, until he trotted over to us and we all started heckling him. Peter got a bit too enthusiastic and started shouting ‘Cain! Do you play polo!? Is that you playing polo Cain? I had no idea you played polo!’ (in case you can’t tell from that, he always goes on about how he plays polo).

Anyway, after the polo was the after-party. Which was utterly shit. The DJs were awful, it was all that terrible trance/shuffle music that you can’t dance to (because I can’t shuffle). I’m more of an R&B/hiphop girl, so wasn’t too impressed. And by this time everyone was sobering up and getting all tired and cranky.

I then got rather pissed off at a certain man who seemed to think he knew me (he didn’t) after hearing one stupid rumour from two years ago (seriously, anyone who actually believes that shit is a total idiot), so Edd had to take me to my car and give me a good talking to while I sobbed and told him I wanted to go home. He’s such a good friend it isn’t even funny. He told me how amazing I am, why he loves having me as a friend, and that I had to get back in there and just dance. So I did.Dom also helped by telling me over and over again ‘you’re wonderful and beautiful lux, it doesn’t matter what rumours are said, because you’re wonderful and beautiful’. Then a random girl told me she was jealous of me because ‘you seem to know all these guys, and they all look at you as if you’re the most amazing girl they’ve ever seen!’. I hugged her and told her they’re my awesome friends*. I HAVE THE BEST FRIENDS EVER. No joke. It was also the biggest ego boost ever.
