I had a wonderful day in London yesterday with the lovely ladies I work plus one other who left a few months ago. It was a beautiful crisp winters day, which perfectly reflected the mood of the occasion.

Ever since our first outing back in 2016, a cricket match where we all wore white sun hats, and the label 'Twats in Hats' was coined, hats have always been a vital part of our social occasions.  And this one was no different! (But more on that later) :)

We started out all meeting up on the train to London, and then headed towards one of London's most iconic buildings, No. 30 St Mary's Axe - otherwise known as 'The Gherkin'.



... for obvious reasons!



At the foot of 'The Gherkin' is a themed bar and novelty crazy golf course called 'Swingers' and that was where we were headed.






And as far as hats were concerned, the theme was Golf!



Yes, we actually sat on the train and walked through London wearing these!

Here are a few more pictures of a fabulous, happy day!









A brief Interlude at the Alchemist Cocktail Bar




Oh yes, and we ended up in a Bar at beautiful old St Pancras station which had Harry Potter themed cocktails ...



... hence the painted-on scars ...
My fringe covered mine up!



Here's a Butterbeer you definitely wouldn't find at Hogwarts!

I'm so happy you had a good day! Those hats are just fabulous! And the golf course... I've never seen ANYthing like that ever!

I've never seen anything like that either - it was fabulous!

Looks like a great day! Those hats look like tam'o'shanters which is very appropriate for golf, I reckon!

Well, golf is renowned for the players wearing daft clothes, so we were keeping with the spirit of the occasion :)

I'm loving that you had beer for golf, took a break for cocktails, then topped the day off with Potter-themed drinks! You know how to plan a day! :D

A great day indeed :)
