Our first bit of star spotting was off court - Richard Williams (father of Venus and Serena) was wandering around and sat down to tie his shoelaces near us:
There was a mandatory photo stop at Fred Perry's statue:
We quite fancied checking out the next Great British Hope, Laura Robson, in her Girls' quarter final match:
Frankly, we weren't terribly impressed - she seemed a bit leaden footed.
It was another lovely day and a spell on Murray Mound/Henman Hill was called for, with Pimm's and lemonade to refresh us - and so it should have done at £6.70 per tumbler!:
It was a great day out - Dave's first visit and my second - the previous one was in 1974 when Connors won. There's a wonderful atmosphere and it's great to just stroll round the grounds and take in whatever takes your fancy. We had seats for Court No. 1 but didn't actually use them all that much - it was more fun checking out some of the outer courts and celebrity spotting. We even saw Martina Navratilova playing!
We recommend applying for tickets in the ballot - well worth while.
