What treasures! Thanks for sharing. And no, I do not think it was crazy to camp out for three days to get tickets to see Zeppelin! I'd do it in a heartbeat but alas I was born too late. 

[Tea anyone ?]

There was a recent video from an American making English tea and getting it all very wrong. The water must be boiled in a kettle, not a microwave, then it’s poured over the teabag and left to brew, usually a minute or two. Then, the milk and sugar is added, not before. The milk is only added first if the tea is first brewed in a teapot, which doesn’t happen much these days

i don’t drink the stuff 

That's how I make tea and I'm an American. Water must come to a rolling boil to brew it. But I mostly drink it iced. I'm from Long Island and every Long Islander has a pitcher of iced tea in the fridge, I don't know why. We even named a cocktail after it  (which doesn't actually contain tea, just tons of booze, like five different kinds). 

So, no closer to solving the mystery of Jimmy's preferred tea. Earl Grey would be my guess. Here's another photo. I think these were taken at Pangbourne but not sure. They might be from two different shoots.

I agree, the bowl of jam suggests there were scones and clotted cream involved. Too bad no photos of Jimmy enjoying those treats. As far as what kind of tea, it's anyone's guess. I suspect he brews loose tea. Maybe someone lucky enough to have enjoyed a cuppa with Jimmy will come forward and tell us what kind he likes.

Apologies if these have already been posted upthread but nothing wrong with a second look at these two!

He looks like a chap who knows how to make a proper cup of tea.
