It was all white on the courts today as we celebrated Wimbledon with a strawberry social. It was hot again and, after a couple of sets of tennis, we were happy to adjourn to the clubhouse for a special treat provided by some of our members.
First we got a plate of strawberries and cream on scones or shortcake and were able to add other treats - watermelon slices (so refreshing), chocolate eclairs and ice cream cones. This has become a regular event and is very popular, as you can imagine. Who doesn't like the summer freshness of strawberries and cream?
The Mens semi-finals at Wimbledon were on the TV but not too many were interested, preferring to socialize with new and old friends. After all, isn't this what retirement is all about?
What a lovely way to celebrate.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
It was very hot so I didn't stay long. Needed a swim to cool off!
DeleteIt sounds lovely. You can't beat fresh strawberries. Xx
ReplyDeleteI only buy them locally and when they are in season.
