I hope everyone is enjoying the warm weather we’re having here in the UK at the moment. Apparently, there’s another heatwave on the way this weekend. This weather makes me really tired and I have trouble sleeping at night; I’m sure many of you are the same. What is it like in your part of the world?
We are fortunate enough to have quite a big garden and it’s lovely to sit out in the evenings when it’s a bit cooler. I’m by no means a gardener, I leave that to my partner. Being the green-fingered one, she bought two beautiful Dahlias to plant last week (see pic below), but it’s just been too hot to do anything garden-wise. We live in hope it will cool down soon, because the ground is rock hard at the moment.
Tennis and cherries go in hand in glove for me when Wimbledon is on. It’s a tradition of mine to sit and watch it with a bowlful of delicious Kentish cherries. Wimbledon don’t sell them, unfortunately, but I checked out the price for strawberries and cream at this years’ championships – £2.85 – quite reasonable in my opinion.
But this hot weather got me wondering what they charge for food and drinks, because tennis fans obviously need to keep hydrated. Here’s a selection of prices. As you will see, deep pockets are required:
Lansons Le Rosé Creation Brut: * Full Bottle: £102.00 Half Bottle: £57.95 20cl Serving: £31.35
Tempranillo (125ml glass): £7.20 (cheapest wine option found)
Gin & Tonic – £10.75
Pimm’s No.1 (Includes reusable glass): £13.45
Centre Court Cooler (Signature gin or alcohol-free cocktail): £12.80
Kopparberg Cider: £8.90 per pint
Gluten-free beer (Bottle): £7.90
Coca-Cola Zero: £2.90 (330ml)
Fish finger sandwich: £14.50
Skin-on fries: £5.50
Safe to say – I’ll be sticking with the cherries!
