WILLIE ECKERSLYKE AND ROGER FEDERER

Well Annie's friend Willie Eckerslyke was chosen, and what an honour, to carry Roger Federer's bag onto Centre Court at Wimbledon, for the men's final.  He isn't very strong, but he tried his very best. Oh dear the bag was heavy, and out dropped Roger's favourite red racquet.  Look at what happened. Do you think he will be asked again? Willie Eckerslyke! (sorry for those of you who don't speak Lancashire accent, but it is a play on words, perhaps you will get the joke).


All say Ahhhh, for poor Willie.

    Hello, Polly. I don't follow tennis, though I think it's a great game, and I don't understand the word play...though I do know that you are having fun with your storytelling and sweet characters and lovely pictures!

    I love your mascot. It shows a great sense of humor coupled with an color sense and most important - outrageous drawing ability.
