Wimbledon.

Hooray Wimbledon fortnight....strawberries & cream, the thump of the ball on racket, tea in front of the TV on a tray, umbrellas & hopefully some sun!
Lucky you! But our schools close this week so for once I may be able to see some Wimbledon in the holidays!
Busy though! David and Jenn arrive from Kiev on Monday. So excited as I haven't been able to give him a hug for over 2 years!!!!!
Enjoy the tennis!

Sounds like you're all set - pardon the pun!

@sarah19 Oh goodness Sallie I hadn't realised you hadn't seen David for two whole years you must be so excited ! What a long time , even I haven't had to wait that long to see our family away! You will be doing better things than watching tennis ! Are they here for good or just a holiday?

@busylady Clever !

@fannyb Will watch as much as I can Fanny which should be quite a bit.

@happypat just for holiday but Kiev is closer than Kuala Lumpur so perhaps they will get home more often! Haven't met Jenn before either but I expect to love her as David clearly does!!!! Laura & Iain and Susannah & Drew will be up the following w.e too, and Jonathan will be out so quite a gathering and who knows when next as Laura and Iain go off to Melbourne for 2 years at the end of July! Globe trotting lot! But great opportunities must be taken!

I like this picture, I too had tenns on when I was cooking tea tonight. I love Wimbledon but the second week is always in the Scottish school holidays so I usually miss the final. This year we leave for our own holiday really soon so I'll miss the whole of the second week!

Beautiful picture on that screen. And is that your kitchen with that tremendously gorgeous ceiling? I could be very comfortable sitting there!

@sarah19 Oh dear it's all goodbyes...sad when they leave the nest so far, pity we can't keep them all young!! You must get a whole family photo when you are all together Sallie, you never know when you will be all together again.

@louisefrance Just been watching Heather Watson GBR & they took it off just as she was fifth time game point!! I agree the second week is best & I don't like all the grunting either!

@bpaquette You can watch any time at all in my kitchen Barbara!

Fingers crossed for some good weather too! Always get hooked on Wimbledon.

Another sport that eludes the nation...sigh...

I love Wimbledon fortnight, a very British affair, even though we seldom win anything.
June 25th, 2012  
Great composition... Can I come for strawberries and cream
June 25th, 2012  
Always enjoy a good game of tennis
June 25th, 2012  
Yes an exciting fortnight ahead, and an interesting angle too (you reclining in a very comfy chair?)
