In fact, I introduced him to the game and he played so well right from the start. Memories pop up all the time when I visit this page. so thank-you David for those.

We ALWAYS loved icy Pimms in the late 50s and throughout the 1960s, but I don't think I have seen it even once, ever since. Shame... it was easy to make, refreshing on a hot day and very sociable.<br /><br />I didn't know about James Pimm, the 1823 start, oyster bars, or herbs and spices added to aid digestion. Look what you learn from blogging :)Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2939913243601569607.post-13756667655301553342011-02-07T04:33:11.728+13:002011-02-07T04:33:11.728+13:00I have fond memories of a game of croquet played i...I have fond memories of a game of croquet played in the early evening after a full day conference. Our English hosts challenged us (American guests) to a game. Of course, after enough Pimm's #1 cup, we were all a bit lax about following the rules of the game. Burried under feet of snow here in New England, I envy your croquet and Pimm's!DocPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06823834084619817888noreply@blogger.com
