What a top night!
Having decided ages ago to separate my lovely friends into different groups, so I could spend some decent time with each of them, this Saturday heralded the main big party – with my old Added Value chums.
Incredible that having joined the company back in September 1996, here I now was in October 2018 with a room full of very familiar faces, the majority of whom I still see on a regular basis socially.
Just shows how integral AV was to our lives, as late-20s and 30-somethings. The highs, the lows, the laughs, the drinks, the travels, the learnings, the acetates, the bar, the disappointments, the relationships, the parties, the weekends away, the work – and much play. And there we all were, looking EXACTLY like we did 22 years ago (well, the lights were turned down low..)
Check out the Ladies in Black..
Thanks SO much to everyone who turned out, to help turn a good night into a great one. What an incredible night – the first ever just about when it was warm enough for my birthday to be spent outside in short sleeves, making the most of the terrace and the fabulous company. Chuck in some awesome food made by Hawksey and our chum Jules’s fair hands, Thai style, and the evening was complete. Look – what a loverly bunch of coconuts.
And here, the survivors' photo – god knows, around 1am?
Wickers, eat your heart out. I had a ball! S x
