On Saturday we headed with the lovely Fairy to the Chap Olympiad..a vintage celebration of Britain’s sporting ineptitude where sensational cravats take precedence over sweaty lycra and more points are awarded for maintaining immaculate trouser creases than ever crossing the finishing line..

(Fairy and the Husband)

Set in leafy Bedford Square in Bloomsbury, London and surrounded by gorgeous Georgian houses with the sun shining, it was a pretty idyllic setting..

And the Pimms wasn’t bad either..

The competitors took their dressage very seriously..

Rarely have I seen Boris Bikes put to such good use than in the Tea Pursuit..

Only a few cups were broken..

Umbrella jousting..

Poor show..this was taken far too seriously..

 So if you every fancy a wonderfully eccentric English day out it’s a date for the diary..just don’t forget a suitably spiffing picnic to match…and book early – it sells out fast.
