The sun is shining for the first time in 2 weeks! Thankfully it came out for Zach's garden party. Charlie & I joined a bunch of American Air Force officers on the grass of Parkers Piece to enjoy the glorious sunshine, eat cucumber sandwiches & play croquet. Whilst we weren't very good at croquet, I think everyone gave it a go. After many drinks and lots of lovely food, we headed off to the Mill Pond for a boat race. The punts were acquired and we were ready to race. 
Obviously the other teams cheated as they didn't wait for my team to get to the start line! So an hour later, drenched with water, a splinter in my finger & a team mate sacrificing himself into the water to get the lost pole 
(thank you Captn Sparrow) we finished second. Atleast we weren't last! Then it was onward to the Anchor for refreshments and drying out, a quick stop at the pizza shop for muchies then home! A fantastic day all round.
