We did the shoot for Bobby Baker’s PUSH ME film yesterday, and in the process learnt that there is nothing Bobby likes more than a nice cup of tea, made by her own hand, just for herself.

Not that Bobby is against making tea for others, oh no. Just that there is something especially pleasing about making a cup for oneself, particularly when you are feeling down or out of sorts.

Our filming got Bobby making tea and drinking tea in many locations around Newcastle – at Byker Grove where her family were based many years back, at the community centre, over lunch and with Streetwise Opera North East as they rehearse for their contribution to the Cultural Olympiad.

A great day – and lots more posts to come about various parts of it – but for now, a few photos to whet your whistle.
