On Friday we were invited by an acquaintance, Philip, to lunch at somerset house. This is a stunningly beautiful location and in the winter has a magical ice rink we always forget to go to. There were around 18 friends of Philip at the lunch and it was nice to meet so many new faces. Some people left just after lunch ended, however quite a few of us stayed on for an hour or two. I met a very nice woman whose birthday it was. All in all a wonderful afternoon.
