Lambeth palace runs a good staff and friends garden party. Decent food, very good burgers for example, and good drinks. The company is excellent too. I hung out with the library and archives people.

No photos of ABoC were to be taken, so I’ll use a generic on here.
The event started at 6pm, being opened by ABoC with a welcome to us all (150ish or so). The weather held, not too hot or humid, just about right.
9pm rolls around and we’re being asked politely if when we leave (hint, get ready to leave) would we kindly take a sack of rubbish to the bins with us. Many of us do.
It’s worth going along if you can wangle an invite.
Thanks for being a part of Blogroll.club. Looking forward to reading your new posts.
