That time of year when the sun has decided to bless us, in London, with its presence has finally arrived! We all sit wondering, or rather lay in the park half naked or lean back in a seat catching rays at the perfect angle, still wondering or instead hoping, yearning and even begging the sun not to leave us again as the memories of waking up for work in the dark and then walking from the train station home in the dark with our shoulders hunched up towards our ear lobes with almost magnetic strength forces of attraction to protect ourselves from blistering winds of winter are still too traumatising to forget. If you are trying to figure out what I am on about don’t hate on me because you live in a hot country and if you managed to follow that never-ending sentence lacking punctuation it is because you clearly feel my pain and I am grateful for your empathy. Whilst I have clearly adopted the British ability to talk about the weather all day, with different people as though it is the juiciest piece of gossip yet to be shared, this blog post is actually got nothing to do with the weather (after all it is a food blog not BBC Weather), but it has everything to do with London’s (and one of the world’s) largest tennis event, which somehow creates an energy throughout the city for tennis fans and even non tennis fans. What are the odds? I am sure Ladbrokes has an answer and if your luck is anything like mine yesterday the dealer will not get one over you since yesterday I had the pleasure of attending Afternoon Tea at the iconic Landmark Hotel courtesy of Ladbrokes Bingo who put extra icing on the cake (or perhaps I should say clotted cream on the scone) by having their Buff Ball Boys join us bloggers at the table.
