70. Blacks.

I turned 70 on 5th November, and decided to throw a party. I hired a club, Blacks in Dean Street, Soho and invited about 60 people, most of whom turned up. It was pretty good. I had loads of presents, Lucy brought a fabulous chocolate and absinthe cake, friends met other friends and it all passed in a flash. Wonderful venue - open fires, dark walls, soft lights, candlelight. I picked it because it was so flattering.

Here are a few snaps - there weren't many taken.
