Last night was the monthly wine and tapas night at the home of one of the BAIN members. It was lots of fun as usual, and had the added bonus of being held in an absolutely amazing apartment. It was so big you could get lost in it — in fact Venetia almost did!

The host is a woman who is highly placed at the American Embassy, and the place certainly reflected that. The phrase “how the other half lives” came to mind!

Setting out my Portuguese pastries (pasteis de nata). If I showed up without these now, everyone would be diappointed!

With my friend Lynne.

Small group of “regulars”!

Believe it or not, this was on the balcony, and you can only see half of it here! Beautiful.
