What a blast from the past scanning the faces in the royal box, who can forget the excitement elicited in the 70's by the enigmatic Bjorn Borg? And yesterday drew us all back to the heady excitement of Wimbledon at its best, all Pimms, strawberries and waiting with baited breath for a double fault!
'Foxglove Falls' fell silent as the contest got under way. Even Leo, the great sportsman, deigned to spend the afternoon passively watching Andy power his way to success. Occasionally, he sagely offered the screen pearls of wisdom such as, "process Andy, focus on the process..."
"Peaches, I am thinking that I might take tennis up again," Leo announced without taking his eyes off the screen. Experience guided me to just leave the idea out there in the middle of the room, in front of the screen. Just how this will be fitted in to the tight schedule of putting practice, yoga and meditation, I am not at all sure.
I will save this nugget for consideration at the next board meeting with Lola; already I can hear her deep intake of breath as she raises shapely brows...
