Wimbledon Round-up

Well, it was simply deeee-lightful. Having watched tennis for two days, scanning Centre Court crowd scenes for my mother and brother, it was my turn to go to Wimbledon on Friday. Mom and I headed off, and she bumped into Nadal first thing - literally. He had about five security folk escorting him on to the warm-up court. Right, like that's going to stop my mom...

Anyhoo, we headed on to the swanky Debenture terrace for coffee, and watched the champions below, soaking up the oh-so-loveliness of it all. The atmosphere on Centre Court was electric to start off, with the Berdych/Jokovic clash, and built to fever pitch during the Murray/Nadal game. Favourite bizarro shouts from the crowd were:

"Come on, Andy! Come on, England!!" [many quizzical looks, including from the Scottish Murray]
"Come on Andy - do it for Beckham!!" [who was opposite us in the crowd]

Little sigh. Nadal won.

Fabulous few days, filled with laughter and sunshine and fun. Back to slightly-more-sedate normality today, though the sunshine remains.
