This month, the whole team finally – after two looong years of shoddy virtual substitutes – got to have an actual Summer Party. So we went big.

Everyone hopped on the Thalys and headed to a big house somewhere outside Paris for a couple of nights, for a bit of R&R and a lot of food. And drink.

The heady combination of sunshine, BBQs, champagne tastings and musical chairs might not have revived us physically, but it was definitely good for the soul to get everyone together again.
