Thought I'd share a few pictures of Wimbledon Village, gearing up for Wimbers tennis starting next week. It's by no means an exhaustive set of tennis-themed photos – I was being lazy and took these from the car (when H was driving!)<\/p>\n

So they're not massively arty, but are still a nice indication of how much the local businesses, from restaurants to kitchen shops to pubs to jewellers to estate agents and even the posh dog store get in the swing for the annual fortnight of all things tennis-y. My decorating prize goes to the Rose & Crown below! New balls, please… x<\/p>\n
