20. The 10th Anniversary Party (1995) |

The Au Pairs |
K and I
celebrated 10 lovely years together as a lovely couple in Spring 1995. A
fortnight later, the lovely man who introduced us to each other also
celebrated 10 years with his equally lovely partner. To mark the
occasion, the four of us threw a lovely party, on the nearest available
bank holiday Sunday, for all our lovely friends. The invites said "dress
memorably". This was interpreted in many different ways - from
suits to fancy dress, or in my case, head to toe Moschino (yeah, well).
We started at Broadway cinema, where we had arranged a special screening
of Breakfast At Tiffany’s. Then down the road to the
Barrio tapas bar, with the Hippo club (now The Bomb) in the basement
below. Food upstairs, dancing downstairs, with an outside courtyard as
well. The whole party lasted around 12 hours. It was like a cast party for our adult
lives, and was an utter joy from beginning to end. Which does
unfortunately mean that there's not an awful lot more that one can say
about it. We had a great time, so did all our friends - end of story,
basically. So, rather than trying to describe the event in any further
detail, let me illustrate it instead...
