Jill Thompson found some very old photos of me, which she presented me with this morning. This one is from 1995, or perhaps a little earlier.

I scanned them to send to Amanda in Australia to cheer her up after her mini bike-accident today. 

I thought I’d post this one, as the most amusing of the lot.

I am so brooding. Look I am so brooding. This is me being brooding. In case you were wondering I am brooding or something.

Because I’m such a ridiculously obsessed props person I find myself theorizing on why this particular set was chosen. 

1. It’s owned by Mrs. Hudson, she’s the type of person who takes some pride in her country, also it’s a delightful, cute set.
2. The more likely idea, I think though is that it was a present from Mycroft. A sentimental tea set for queen and country. He figured this might be the one gift that Sherlock might actually use. 

I don’t really see John buying something this fancy or frilly.
Also, Sherlock tends to go purely for function and not for “pretty”. This set is too delicate for him to purchase.
