More archive reenactment nostalgia

This photo of Brett taken about 10 years ago is a great image from my box of old photos. (Before you say anything he's smoking a clay pipe - I've looked at it close-up and it is not a cigarette believe me). Not sure what the uniform is - looks like the Jersey Blues but I don't think it is. It captures that moment of getting up when you're camping in the woods in high summer - you can almost smell the wood smoke. Photo is taken in the grounds around the American Museum Bath which are well worth a visit if you're nearby.

Don't forget the reenactment down at Westerham Kent celebrating the Wolfe 250th - details elsewhere on this site.
