To quote Peter from the last thread “the Shadow of Wimbledon looms.” Sounds like a line from Hitchcock movie (dun dun dun dun) and sounded so dramatic but oh so appropriate. No wordy intro this week folks but you do have a working thread…….Enjoy the continued run up to Wimbledon - my favorite Slam. This is a bit slapped together - hey if you think I would cut my jaunts to Napa Valley and Yountville (what a name) to perfect a blog - well no……typing on the IPad in the back seat of the car is just……
(PS - send me any corrections I will try and get to them ASAP…..)

| Beachy Head, Eastbourne, England. The name Beachy Head appears as 'Beauchef' in 1274, becoming 'Beaucheif' by 1317, and it has nothing to do with the word "beach". Instead, it is a corruption of the original French words meaning "beautiful headland" (beau chef). It was being consistently called Beachy Head by 1724 |
