Day 39 London

Nice slow start today. After our coffee up the road we walked to South Wimbledon underground on the Northern line, about 7mins away. Train to Stockwell, changed to Victoria line and got off at Green Park 35 mins later. With half an hour to spare and the sun trying to come out, we walked to Buckingham Palace and saw the end of the Changing of the Guards. Back to Green Park station to meet Jan Cook. We walked along Piccadilly Road to Browns and St Georges Hotels for high tea in the Drawing Room. It was very old worldly and English but gorgeous. With a glass of Moet in hand, the photos started and then the sandwiches came. This was followed by warm fresh scones, strawberry jam and Cornish clotted cream. A variety of teas were enjoyed with the sweet treats. And we got a doggy bag!!
After lunch we walked around Mayfair checking out the designer label shops and marvelled at the Ralph Lauren shop decked out for Wimbledon.
And to top off the day, we opened the parcel from Fred Stolle to find we had 2 tickets for court 1 on Wednesday and 6 day ground passes for any day!!! Saturday maybe?? Then we got the confirmation for our tickets tomorrow only to find out we have 2 tickets for centre courts (unbelievable) and 3 ground passes...a dream come true. Jan is coming too as tomorrows tickets come via her son in law and his colleague. Looking forward to tomorrow at Wimbledon as well as strawberries and cream.Read more
