Found a peaceful place

Ready for the day ahead

Found a quiet place

Peaceful for my breakfast meal

Calm before the storm


Business finds me at the All England Lawn Tennis Club’s Wimbledon stadia ground, during the prestigious Championships. A very organised kinda human chaos. I love it, although I have no particular interest in bat and ball games.

I like to start my day early. Journey in during the cooler summer hours. Chatting to bus crews, entering the grounds as the gardeners, cleaner, caterers, and many others, prepare the site and facilities for the day. A leisurely breakfast and mug of black tea sets me up nicely for the busy day to come.
