Oh PS this is my first social media thing, besides emails. I have just learnt the first post didn't disappear it just sunk down like a pebble in a wishing well. LOL

Enjoyed reading your tennis story, the surprises and emotional drops. Had a little difficulty with the blinking pitches ( thats me ) Put my had over so I could concentrate. Loved the peppering humour.

Such a great read Marian - I love tennis too but don't play anymore. Love that you got to chat to Rafter! Clique sounded awful - sadly lots of them about in England's sports clubs.

Thanks for reading Sandra. Without the tennis centre in my street I might never have Got back to playing. Parent cliques awful too.

Ha ha. Yes, it might have been fun to serve Pimm's from it for years to come. :)
