The inaugural classic from the Côte Citron Country Creatures Cricket Club, otherwise known as the Six Cs, took place last Friday beneath a blazing Oxfordshire sun. A competitive day (in spirit, if not in skill) saw some of the country’s finest chefs and critics trade kitchen tools for cricket bats. While the gameplay wasn’t exactly textbook, the rosé flowed, the @cote__citron beers were cold, and the company more than made up for it! A big thank you to all who participated 🏏🌿 #CountryCreatures #CôteCitron
