Wimbledon

I just found this blog in a drafts folder.  This was written in early July.
We had a fantastic day at Wimbledon.  We watched an epic 5 set match with Djokovic winning over Del Potro.  We then watched Murray v Janowicz which wasn't nearly to the same level of play.  Murray was the crowd favourite and won in 4 sets. 
It was very much a white England class system, which led Nath to ask if the tickets were balloted based on colour. 
At the beginning of the day we needed to drink out wine and beer as you aren't allowed glass on the show courts. So we found an empty court to sit beside and then you wouldn't believe it but Janowicz came onto the court to warm up.  Boom, winning at Wimbledon.  Also, by banking with HSBC we were entitled to free strawberry's and cream.  Nath & Mich 2, Wimbledon 0.
It was a long day out, we were at the tennis for nearly 10 hours, plus an hour travel each way.  Definitely worth the trek.  Now we are watching the final in the summer sunshine in our backyard, with the tv facing outside.  Summer has arrived in London.
I have one more week of work until my summer holidays begin.  I am so excited for our sail Greece holiday, cannot wait!
