There is something super-special about attending an exclusive luxury event that you've eagerly watched on TV all your life. I'm not sure what exactly makes it so exciting but I'm pretty sure it's a combination of seeing first-grade, top-class tennis live; witnessing the skill of the current best tennis player in the world (Spanish bull, Senjor Nadal! As seen in the pic below); being treated to utterly delicious food during the build-up to the highly anticipated match; being surrounded by friendly high-profile celebs; hearing the ball being hit and feeling the silence in the court before a serve...experiencing the tension first-hand and all the while drinking deliciously cold Pimms and Champagne from morning till noon.
It's big fun- I must go back! Again and again. But it's just so very expensive - perhaps another reason why it was so incredibly enjoyable: knowing that the 'member's-only' pass around my neck giving me unlimited access to such fantastic bliss will last for one day only, like cinderalla's dress for her 'one-night' at the palace- leaving her the next day back home in an old T-shirt, washing the dishes with a hangover... Bloody Wimbledon.
