Surprisingly, no hats were worn at the Bouillabaisse event at St Gobains last night.



There were other surreal moments - normal when the tribe gathers. Heres Olle-Bendik surveying his table of women; Toby and John M; Robin, being magisterial after hurling blanquette hither and yon. Highly entertaining evening :)
