Wimbleton In The Winter! As most of you know, I (John) am Irish, while what many of you may not know, is while I live in the U.S. I have a brother (Peter) that lives in the outskirts of London, England and about 20 miles from the town of Wimbleton, which is of course where the Wimbleton Grand Slam tennis tournament is held each year for 2 weeks in the summer. To the delight of the British fans, the British tennis star Andy Murray won this event in 2016! Anyhow, while visiting my brother (and parents) this past December, we had a chance to visit this bustling quaint little town which becomes even more alive at the end of June every year. What always surprises us over there, is how little people tend to drive, but instead opt to take the tram, the train, a double decker bus, a taxi or an Uber to get around!
So, what is there to do in Wimbledon in December? Our answer to that question, have lunch at a traditional English pub while watching ‘soccer on the telly!’ And go to a pantomime! (Which is kind of a musical comedy). These happen to very popular in England, especially around the holidays, while we had the chance to see ‘Dick Whittington’ which attracted a packed house and was lots of fun! If you’ve never been to London, in my opinion, make sure it’s on your bucket list!
