My newest suit - not sure there have been many photos of it yet? It's flannel, so designed for the warmer months, apparently.12:00:06
I brought along the last of the Forty Hall 2018, which somehow seemed appropriately London-y (but to be honest stocks of ESW are very low in my cellar at the moment and I didn't have much to choose from!).12:53:37
Some of our group milling about trying to spot planes etc flying overhead.d

Later on, Erika and I popped to the Pineapple for a bit. As fond as I am of my local, this part of the city seems to attract the kind of people who absolutely weren't going to be waving flags and decorating their homes with bunting. So a bit of a jarring contrast with the earlier part of the afternoon.
