Wimbledon Weekend

             

Pimms and tennis in the sunshine. The ultimate way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Particularly when the tennis is being played at Wimbledon, and you're actually there to watch it rather than watching it on a tiny screen in the corner of your living room like usual. Ben and I were lucky enough to get tickets for the final Saturday (as it turned out, Ben was lucky enough to go earlier in the week too. Not jealous or anything), so I took an afternoon off work on Friday and we sped down to have a lovely weekend in London.

I almost tried to detail it all in one post, then I realised that was ridiculous, because we ate an awful lot, and the post was starting to rival War and Peace in length. So instead, today I'm just sharing my Wimbledon pictures. 

We sat on Henman Hill to watch the ladies final, and then watched a surpsingly good girls doubles on Court One. We finished off the day watching the invitational doubles with some of the pros from back in the day. You might be able to tell from the photo that they weren't exactly playing by the rules, and it was great fun to watch. For the third set they stopped messing around and actually went for it, and it was seriously impressive. I got even more jealous of Ben being able to see more of the matches earlier in the week. 

We finished off the afternoon with some strawberries and cream. We were at Wimbledon. We couldn't not. Although it was so warm, I sort of wished I'd just got the strawberries. Soaking up the atmosphere put me so much in the mood for tennis, I'm so sad Wimbledon is over for another year! At least there's the American Open to look forward to at the end of the summer. Are you a tennis fan, or do you get confused by thousands of people following the track of a yellow ball like dogs?
