Babs (that's Barbra Streisand to the rest of you) has typified the gloved, upright-pinky-finger, teacup-holding social classiness of particular women. Awash in chiffon and feathers, they lunch with their friends, and are immortalized in her song called "Pretty Women / Ladies Who Lunch".
HBH has ladies who may not be lunching but laugh and giggle over tea and scones.
And then they play croquet!
Last Sunday, the colours around here were magnificent - scarlet, magenta, fuschia, royal, and ruby...
The ladies wore pearls, diamonds and gemstones, and sported feathers, birds, lace and organza. And those girls (dare I call them 'girls'?!) played croquet with the gusto of seasoned Sicillians at Bocce or Boules.
Having such fun I would not have been surprised to see one of them light up a cigarillo and take a turn at a flask.
Perfetto!
Croquet is hosted at HBH several more times - August 2nd and 15th - by the summer students from The Museum at Campbell River. Reservations can be made by calling the Museum - 250-287-3103.

Pretty women
Fascinating
Sippin coffee
Dancing, pretty women
Pretty women
Are a wonder, pretty women
Sitting in the window or
Standing on the stair
Something in them cheers the air
Pretty women
Silhouetted
Stay within you
Glancing stay forever
Breathing lightly, pretty women,
Pretty women
Blowing out their candles or
Combing out their hair
Even when they leave
They still are there
They're there
Sipping coffee
Here's to the ladies who lunch
Everybody Laugh
Lounging in their caftans and
Planning a brunch
On their own behalf
Off to the gym
Then to a fitting,
Claiming they're fat
And looking grim,
Cause they've been sitting
Choosing a hat
I'll drink to that!
Pretty women, fascinating
How they make a man sing...
