At last, a festivity at Seaford House where it's not too crowded, the food is good and we stayed till the end!! It's almost as if we were adults. Last night we attended the Summer Ball for RCDS. What a glorious time. The numbers were small, as many students have already left or are in the process of leaving the country. But the "usual suspects" were there in force.
We had decided to book a room around the corner at the Caledonia Club. So it was only a matter of dressing, and wandering a block to SH, then stumbled back again. Of course there would be the full Scottish breakfast in the morning!!

But we needed to wander downstairs first for a dram of the Malt of the Month....and who should be bump into? but more students!! So a few" before shots" were necessary.

We were welcomed to a champagne reception and classical music by the quartet. Of course, I had to pack my own since I can not do champagne. But no problem.... Then we were treated to the Royal Marines beating retreat.

Chat, chat. Blah blah blah. Let's eat. I'm hungry!. so off to the ante-room for dinner. I heard the chef was the chap who had been Princess Diana's cook. (Ewan mentioned the fact that she was bulimic and anorexic. so not sure how dinner would shape up). But it was great!! Really..

Then onto the dancing. Yes, we do dance, perhaps not that well. But with enough alcohol, anyone can do it. It was a pleasure to see citizens of other nations having "no rhythm" as well.
