Dreaming of Wimbledon


Crazy upsets aside, watching Wimbledon this year has been surreal. Since my tour of the grounds this past February, I have been aching for a return visit.  Even on that dreary winter afternoon, without a tennis-star in sight, and strawberries and cream out of season, I was captivated.  And as I wandered the grounds bundled up in my parka, I was in awe of the history, the traditions, and those beautifully manicured grass lawns.

Henman Hill. Will the name be changed to Murray Mound after this year's championship?!
