While not exciting, it feels good to be able to just relax and put our feet up!
We spent the weekend doing little chores: laundry and 'mowing' Jane's lawn.
We also got to see (and hear) Wimbledon from the English side of the Pond. The Wimbledon Championships or simply Wimbledon is the oldest tennis tournament in the world, and widely considered the most prestigious. It has been held at the All England Club in Wimbledon, London, since 1877.
I don't often watch tennis matches but do take the time to watch some of the Wimbledon matches. In England, however, EVERYONE watches Wimbledon! And this one was fun!
Did you know that Andy Murray won!!!? TV announcers and news had that startling news on for the next 24 hours! It had been 77 years since an Englishman had won this match so it was a very exciting time!
We had dinner again at Ye Olde Greene Manne. It's a comfortable pub not far from Northwood in the town of Rickmansworth. It was such a beautiful night we decided to take a drive around some of the surrounding towns of Rickmansworth on the A404, to Amersham on the A416, Hemel Hempstead on the A4147 and finally home again to Northwood. While all of these towns are suburbs of London and are therefore pretty crowded, they all date back to the 8th to 12 century! Amazing.
