As someone who is a croquet tragic and takes any opportunity to visit a club when touring, I find myself envious of Lesley and Julian who posted the following snapshot on the Forrest Park Croquet Club Facebook page. Be sure to check out their other images.

Croquetwest AGM

The hoops were particular steadfast in the ground and at times, the only way to knock them down was with a heavy duty mallet.

Many houses and businesses are decked out in preparation for Halloween.

And every day we left the house, we noticed the changes in the leaves.

With each trip to and from the croquet courts, it would take us just under three minutes to drive the length of the bridge over the Rappahannock River.

A few housemates were able to relax with a jigsaw after a long day….

….whilst others just found somewhere to put their feet up!
