Wimbledon

Yesterday I went to Wimbledon, for the second day of the championships.  It was so much fun.  Our PE teacher from school got twelve tickets in a schools ballot, and chose 9 sixth formers with sporting achievements to go with her and two other staff.  It is really nice that she recognized that I have worked hard coaching and playing volleyball outside of school, it usually seems like she only cares about netball players of hockey players.  It was a great day, we went on the train from Grantham and then got the underground from Kings Cross.  The 'All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club' is such a cool place, it is really posh, but nice.  I had strawberries and cream...twice, and they weren't as expensive as I thought.  We had two centre court tickets and ten for number one court, so we rotated round, each spending an hour on centre.  I saw Richard Gasquet vs Mardy Fish, Venus Williams vs Naomi Cavaday, Rafael Nadal vs Andreas Beck, Maria Sharapova vs Stephanie Foretz, Andy Roddick vs Eduardo Schwank, and Jelena Jankovic vs Olga Savchuk.  So some pretty great names, and a good selection of mens and women's.  I recommend it to anyone, just for the experience of Pimms and strawberries even if you are not a huge tennis fan.  Fantastic day, thanks Miss C!
