Pimms, Ponies and Posh Outfits at Polo in the Park

It's not very often that we get sunburnt in London, but today we did! This weekend it was Polo in the Park just down the road from our house. Now in it's 7th year, the three day event features teams from cities around the world taking part in the matches. There are also bars, food trucks and small vendors set up selling big hats, cigars and other fun take aways.

We bought tickets with our friends for today which was the final matches. We watched the matches while sipping on Pimms which is a classic British summer drink: a fruity liquor mixed with lemonade and garnished with cucumbers, strawberries, mint and orange... delicious! Aaron and Dan had Cuban cigars, and during half time we helped stomp the divots on the field (a Polo match staple).

Polo may not be the most exciting sport I've ever watched, but the atmosphere was fantastic. Everyone was dressed up and enjoying the sunshine; a perfect Sunday outing in London. Summer has arrived!
