Felders' Blog

…where Joel was, I’d like to assure you he’s doing very well - and indeed flourishing under his new care in the community regime.

What an UNBELIEVABLE Wimbledon final.

I’m sorry to see Roger Federer lose, who I was whole-heartedly supporting, but I can’t take anything away from an extraordinary Rafa victory.

Dashing home from Surrey in a rain-break, I discovered the game was back on when I reached Waterloo. This required a stop at the pub inside the station where, it seemed, it had all become a bit too much for Peter Hain MP too, who had taken refuge by the bar amidst the excitement.

I made it home during the last rain break, well in time to jump around my living room like an idiot.

Well done to both players - what other sport can keep up the excitement and nerves of a penalty shoot-out for an hour at a time?

Brilliant.
