One has had a most lovely weekend on the weekend just gone. One (Adam) had a polo lesson on Saturday with a few friends down near Brighton followed by a swim at the beach. This was then followed by a spiffing day out at the Cartier International Polo match held at the Guards Polo Club in Windsor Park. Unfortunately 'One' (the Queen) was away in Scotland however Prince Charles was in attendance and we watched 2 polo matches. In the first match the Prince of Wales team played against Hurlingham. In a blow to Charlie, his team lost the match.
The premier event of the day was England Versus Australia consisting of 6 chukkas (6 x 7min period). In what turned out to be a close and very hotly contested affair, England squeezed out Australia 10 - 9. On field entertainment was provided by 3 blokes who decided to streak accross the field near the end of the match. A spokeswoman for the club said "I think it is the hot weather and the Pimms to blame. These things happen." (check out the BBC report http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7527930.stm)
