It has been a week of London sporting firsts......
Wimbledon
On Tuesday I was fortunate enough to go to Wimbledon entertaining clients. It was all very flash - a corporate suite for the day and tickets to great seats on Centre Court. We saw 3 games - Venus Williams, Raffa Nadal and Andrew Murray. Andrew Murray was a crowd favourite (being a local) and his match was the best of the day.
Here is a pic of the Murray game....
Lord's Cricket Ground
Thankfully the sun shone on Saturday and we headed off to Lord's to see the final 1 dayer between the Kiwis and England.
The Kiwis played well and smashed plenty of boundaries - including 1 six that landed right up in the upper tier of the Grand Stand next to where we were sitting - incredible. We had great seats looking down over the ground fairly square of the wicket. We were in the 'Debenture holders' area - so we also had use of the facilities for box holders etc... no lining up for beers or toilets with the common folk down below?!
It was a fairly convincing win for the Kiwis after the English got a fairly good start - but couldn't maintain the momentum. More pics below:

some great pics. lords must have been a great day.we checked our hotel internet thru out the day & we thought of you being there. pleased to hear the beach at barcelona is good now, as it was very polluted in 98 when we were there.the cathedral & the geese is where bernie & paul were robbed of 60 pounds. if you liked barcelona you would probably like andalucia especially in the summer time.
