Yes, please. Lovely! This looks divine. I'd love some milk.
是的，那太好了！看起来完美，我需要一点牛奶。
Luxury for me is doing something utterly unnecessary, in the most immaculate way. And there's no finer example of that than the full-blown English tea in Ralph Lauren Wimbledon. There's always been a sort of Englishness, the link between tea and tennis and the English garden.
In the olden days people used to have afternoon tea like this. Well, maybe not quite as lavish as this, every single day and it seems to have sort of dwindled away and I don't know why. I mean nowadays people say to me do you want to grab a latte? And I go, no.
Afternoon tea is absolutely vital, because you need to take a little break. I could clear the whole lot of this in about 15 minutes, because I didn't have breakfast. Well, I had a light breakfast and I eschewed lunch. Well I didn't actually. I had a very slight lunch.
I had an uncle who said that if you wanted to recharge yourself to get on with the rest of the day, he used to call it restringing your racket. I'm restringing my racket now.
In tennis, this is how the scoring goes: Love, 15, 30, 40. See there's no sense in it. And there's no real sense in a cucumber sandwich. Because on a scorching hot day, nobody really says, I'm absolutely exhausted and boiling. May I have a cucumber sandwich? He heard me. Wasn't that enchanting?
It's terribly important that you do take the skins off, because otherwise it gives grandmothers sort of indigestion. And what you can do is that you can take a piece like this. And you eat a little bit of it here elegantly. And then the rest, put in your bag and eat during a long tie break.
One thing about a scone, here they are, is that you don't cut them. You break them with your hands like that. Look, they break beautifully. There's a little scone broken for you. Then the big debate, which goes on first? The clotted cream, the double cream or the jam?
You know sometimes when you think the players are looking up to their coaches, they're looking at me. We, sitting in the stands and watching them, are dressed up as we're going to a garden party at Buckingham Palace and I adore that.
If you're lucky enough, and I am, you wear Ralph Lauren, because I wouldn't wear anything else. But you can wear whatever you like, but you've got to make a bit of an effort. Not too sparkly. Don't go mad and sparkly.
Also the players hate it if you twinkle too much, but they've got used to just seeing me, just glimmering, a shimmer of gold and they look for a really well-cut jacket and they think that's Joanna and they feel safe in their playing.
I just wear white because also I have that feeling that at some stage somebody will spray in their ankle, the match won't be able to continue, and I can stand up and they'll say, Joanna, Joanna, will you, will you stand in and play?
