Anyone for tennis….?

It’s been wall to wall coverage of Wimbledon for these two weeks so if you aren’t a fan, then it must have been a pain! For me, it’s been brilliant. I started to play at secondary school and even represented the school in a match against a prestigious Bedfordshire school. Did we win? Honestly I can’t remember, but I loved it. Later I watched the Dewar Cup tournament played in Nottingham with Nastase as a star competitor. A trip to Wimbledon centre court was a dream, but once was enough. So many people and such heat, which has been the situation this year. No wonder spectators have been taken ill, sitting in the extreme heat. It’s been great fun messaging friends who are watching the same match, though, sharing our thoughts about the grunts and groans of certain players as well as “ooh”s and “aah”s when a serve hits the spot or a rally of several shots creates excitement. Strawberries and cream in a cardboard box doesn’t appeal though 😉
