Kubb

It was Emily’s birthday yesterday, and we popped down to James & Julie’s for a few drinks and a game of kubb.

Kubb is a lawn game in which the objective is to knock over blocks of wood by tossing batons at them.

We split into two teams. Whichever team knocks down all the opponent’s blocks can have a go at the ‘king’ block in the centre of the pitch. If they are successful, they win the game.

Kubb is a good game, in that it only requires the use of one hand, leaving the other available to hold a drink.

The team of James, Ali and Emily won. More drinks and snacks afterwards, and Ginger is always hopeful of getting a morsel.

Today it’s sunny and warm again, and we’d better clean the house as it’s our turn for dinner. With all this sunshine, the garden’s looking lovely.
