At last...

I've been involved in planning a surprise party and it's finally happened so I can now write freely about it - it's been so difficult keeping it quiet! Jane, Helen and I organised a surprise wedding party for Jess and Turtle. They thought that they only had a family meal to deal with on Saturday night but when they came through to the gallery at St Martin's they found they had a whole lot more! All the hard work was worth the look on their faces when they came in.

Edited highlight (and lowlights)

DJ Nonce throwing out some love classics
Drunken/drugged mates dancing to the love classics
Too much fizz
Seeing all those family and friends mixing and chatting
Jessie's sister in law coming to London even though she's about to give birth at any moment (and looking positively blooming of course!)
Proud parents
Wonderful, supportive chats about the death of parents and how you get through the dark times and move on
Bloody taxi queues
Carla getting mugged and bitten
Homophobic abuse and teeth getting knocked out
Too many black eyes to mention

Usual night out for the rats!
