Wimbledon - Lawn Tennis Championships 2009

We went to Wimbledon today... we sat in a queue for an hour and a half... (and yes we sat... We had Margaret with her who is still recovering from her hip surgery, so we were all taken in a buggy to sit in a tent until the queue caught up with us!!) - Despite such a long queue the courts seemed eerily empty and with minimal difficulty we watched matches on Numbers 2 and 3 courts.... where was everyone???






and finally we find why there are so many empty seats around . . . Andy Murray is playing Stanislas Wawrinka on centre Court and everyone is sitting on Henman Hill or Murray Mount (doesn't quite trip off the tongue does it) ... we watched for a while and when Murray looked home and hosed we decided to go home.. little did we know he would be so aghast at our leaving that he would struggle on for another 80 minutes... whoops.. sorry Andy.. better luck in the next round!

and just a final note.. a big thank you to this taxi driver who refused to take us in his cab, because he wasn't interested in going to my part of town......

We watched that match on tv and did wonder if you were on Murray mount but when they showed it it was too dark to see anyone!
Thank heaven you didn't get in that taxi!!!!!!!!!! J x
