Federer and Wimbledon !
Wow..... what a game. It is late in the night here and Roochi the kids and I have witnessed the best Wimbledon final I can remember..... Stunning. Well done Federer. Sport needs more stars like him. Immaculate yet modest.
In contrast though I feel that the All England Tennis Club are not so in tune with the times. Roochi asked me how much the winners get.... ? Naturally I went straight to the internet and discovered that Federer will recieve GBP 850,000. He deserves it certainly. It looks like they have harmonized the winnings so that the ladies winner gets the same amount, they have been getting the same amount for the last three years. ( but for less work....fact !!) What you may not know is that in the year that has seen the worst recession in living memory the money paid out has gone up in real terms more than any other time in the history of wimbledon !!! Not only that.... they are pleased to announce it on their website.
Anyway that was just a little titbit for you.
Below is a picture of a bee I managed to capture doing its thing on this flower. One of my best photos even if I say so myself ;)
Peace and much Love
