Rather than me starting out the e mails about me having breakfast at Wimbledon just presume for the next two weeks that is how my mornings will be… as it was this morning.
The only thing on my agenda today was to go get Annie and with her friend Judy and Helen and off here
for lunch…..it is a lovely old style English pub and the grounds are quite lovey…I felt honored to be with three “young ladies”
Annie in blue then Helen and Judy..the reason why I have that silly look on my face is that Helen showed me how to set my camera for a timed shot…so she placed my camera on timer and put it on the window ledge and 10 seconds later this photo above appears ..so a new feature on my camera that I know how to use now…so I can do my own selfies!!!!!
The grounds at the pub….
None of us knew what this shrub or tree was
the leaves were huge and underneath was this

US TV network NBC fires Donald Trump over Mexico comments
Donald Trump made the controversial comments while announcing his presidential campaign
US TV network NBC is cutting ties with Donald Trump over "recent derogatory statements" that the veteran businessman made about immigrants.
NBC said the company would now not be airing the Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants that are co-owned by Mr Trump.
Responding to the announcement, Mr Trump said he would consider suing NBC.
Earlier this month, he accused Mexicans of adding drugs and crime to the US as he announced he was seeking the Republican presidential nomination.
"They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they're rapists, and some I assume are good people, but I speak to border guards, and they tell us what we are getting," he said in his speech on 16 June.
He also pledged to build a "great wall" on the US border with Mexico and insisted it would be paid for by Mexicans.
He later insisted he was criticising US lawmakers, not Mexican people.
Mr Trump has threatened to sue NBC and Univision for dropping his beauty pageant shows
NBC had faced pressure from Hispanic advocacy groups to drop Mr Trump's shows and a petition on the Change.org website gathered more than 200,000 signatures.
On Monday, the network issued a statement saying: "At NBC, respect and dignity for all people are cornerstones of our values."
Celebrity Apprentice would continue to be aired, it added, as it is licensed from a separate group. Mr Trump stopped hosting the show when he entered the presidential contest.
'NBC is weak"
He issued a statement shortly after NBC's announcement, saying he stood by his statements on illegal immigrations, "which are accurate".
"NBC is weak, and like everybody else is trying to be politically correct - that is why our country is in serious trouble," he said.
He claimed the network had violated its contract and said the move would be "determined in court".
NBC is the second network to drop the divisive politician after Univision, one of the largest US Spanish-language broadcasters, also ended its coverage of Miss USA.
After being dropped by Univision last week, Mr Trump accused the Mexican government of pressuring the network, saying: "They want to silence Donald Trump. And Donald Trump can't be silenced."
Even if his commercial prospects are taking a battering, Mr Trump's political fortunes seem to be improving.
Polls suggest he is running second to former Florida Governor Jeb Bush in the crowded field of Republican hopefuls.
Yashi Kochi!!!
