It was a great venue overlooking the river and various sail boats. There were six of us and all work mates until my retirement. I was the eldest and the others ranging from 40's to 23 in age.
We all met in the bar area and I received warm hugs and "don't you look well - love your hair".
Champagne seemed the order of the day and once we were all seated we got on with checking in with each other on how life was treating us. It was great to be part of the "young ones" again. Conversation meandered from work life (not much has changed), management and their good and bad points, gossip about the last work party. (There are always the players who always try to forget they have a wife or husband back home not to mention kids).
We giggled over jokes and in my case fond memories of work dramas or disasters - Which client caused the most angst or gave flowers and chocolates. The youngest of our group decided to leave the mobile number of the single member for the handsome waiter. (She only revealed this as we were walking to the car park to the squeals of the single one).
We passed an icecream vendor and decided we all desperately wanted a cone. As we enjoyed our icecream walking back to the cars we planned another get together in a month's time. Nice to be part of it all.
