The Text Book of Lawn Tennis by M. J. G. Ritchie

The Colonel: "This chap, Ritchie, was Covered Courts Champion in 1909, and has some invigorating words to say about one of my favourite pastimes, whacking balls around a grass court with a jolly fine racquet." 

"Why, we even used to whack them between observation balloons whilst on recce when I was in the Camel Corps!!"

"Actually, I saw Miss. Leonora and Mr. Hedgewick getting right into it just the other day.  Nothing like it you know, pocking around the lawn.  Pock, pock, pock, I could pock all day!"

Spring Cleaning

Forgive the Colonel for seemingly to not have been 'on board', as it were, lately but he and I have been doing the annual spring cleaning and have also planted some new growth in the back garden here. As you will see by referring to our Theatre du Colonel listings, we have bold new ventures underway.
So, while we're doing the dusting and polishing, please enjoy our new editions whilst sipping on a mint julep or downing an absinthe, depending on your wont.
