IHUK - A day in the life of….

[Giles]

Today was/is our Christmas party.  After secret Santa and dishing out a heap of beautiful dried meats that a ridiculously kind customer sent to us, we went go-karting.

Someone knows me very well (though, I am a tad transparent) - thank you whoever you are….

Podium ….

1- Chess (poser bought his own helmet  )
2- Adam Crawshaw
3 - Steve (weighs nothing, so basically was cheating)

Tonight, we have a meal in a private room at a local restaurant.  We have all tested negative today, all have at least 2 jabs, so feel reasonably safe.  And frankly, I feel so desperately sorry for the hospitality business (no fiscal help is being given to them at the moment, but the Government has basically said Christmas parties should not happen, so restaurants and the like are basically fucked, just when they thought things were getting better), I really want them to have our business.  Yes it's a calculated risk.

thanks to the Stubborns for the card and choco.

We even stock rings too small for @AdamJ 's hands.  There was 5 minutes of panic this morning…

The only pics I took of our social last night.  It has been a busy SS22 so far so the crew let off some steam last night and got our competitive juices flowing.  Started off with some mezze at a local Lebanese restaurant, Leilamezze ( @Madame Buttonfly  may have some pics of the food) and then headed over to The Guildhall Village for some beer, darts and shuffleboard!  Great night with the crew

Amazing having fun..

My photos are awful (as expected) and nearly all the food had been eaten by the time I took them!  It was a super fun evening

Planning Part 2 of the FW22 LookBook shoot for tomorrow (prop from Part 1 of show sneaking in the shot at the bottom - can you guess the theme of the collection from that?)

[Kasi]

Something do with London…

[goosehd]

@Steve I’m trying to figure out that prop and think binoculars (sightseeing/touring)?  Really just guessing and excellent mental stimulation!

[IH-GARY]

Polaroids?

[Steve]

@goosehd close, here's a clue - 'it unfolds, and it's ready in an instant'
(in fairness the prop is a loose link to the collection, but would make sense when you actually see the LB)!

[Steve]

@IH-GARY:

Polaroids?

@IH-GARY  It is!

[goosehd]

@Steve I think @IH-GARY nailed it.  This is great fun!! Thank you

[popvulture]

Man I love those old Land Cameras. Such lovely design.

[goosehd]

@Steve i figured out the theme.  Since this is a jubilee year…you guys are casing the joint and taking pictures for get away routes for when you guys borrow the Crown Jewels.

Excellent marketing strategy that will keep IH in the news for years to come.
