The Men's Final

Timothy Belmont has breakfasted on a very toothsome slice of toasted wholemeal plain loaf, spread liberally with butter.

Atop were two rashers of the fine Black Bacon, cured from singularly contented pigs on an island somewhere on Lough Erne, in County Fermanagh.

I trimmed a fair bit of the fat from each rasher. Rather than frying, I grilled the bacon and this produced a good result.


THE BELMONT ATTENTION shall be focused on Wimbledon's centre court this afternoon, for the epic battle ~ one expects ~ between Andy Murray, OBE, and the Serb, Novak Djokovic.

Naturally I wish Mr Murray the very best of good fortune, as the standard-bearer for the British interest.
