Weybridge? Or not?



I've long been intrigued by this pic. Where and when was it taken? I've read that Joan Baez visited John at Kenwood circa 1966, and the woman to his left in this photo does look like her - compare with the album sleeve, also from 1966. So is this John showing her round the environs of Weybridge during that visit? Or is that not her, and not even Britain, let alone Surrey? (It's possibly not even the 1960s). Answers on an email...

    I`ve seen this photo before and never doubted this to be Joan. But I automatically thought it must have been taken during the US Tour when Joan was a guest at their L.A. retreat.

    So the hills of Hollywood, not Surrey? Could well be...
