The queue and Wimbledon!

It was a 5am wake up today and we were off to catch the first tube to Wimbledon. There was a crowd of people on the first train and when we joined the queue at 6:45am we were given our ticket number, 5864! We spent 5.5hours in a traditional English queue, where we napped, went shopping and waited and waited. Grace and I finally made it through with tickets about midday! What a relief!! We headed to court 16 to watch an Aussie playing great tennis in a four setter. We then found some Pimms and strawberries and cream. How very English! We looked at the pretty floral displays, the smaller hit up courts and the TV Hill viewing area. Most people attending were very dressed up. We stayed until around 8pm before catching the tube to meet Jake in Shoreditch. Mary Roubos popped in to say hello and we ate a big meal of slow cooked meats at a place called Blues Kitchen which is very trendy. We couldn't get a table until 9:30pm on a Monday night!Lue lisää
