Some photos - not overwhelmingly flattering I'm afraid - of Pen and Ash rather late in the evening at various parties which I discovered recently when my laptop gave up the ghost. Penny and Ash's combined efforts on the dance floor were a sight to behold at many parties and this joyful, sleepy, slightly boozy photo just about sums it all up.

Pen was also one of the most wonderfully creative people i know and this shone through at any occasion demanding fancy dress in Brussels. For a jungle fever party, Penny avoided the obvious clichés - no monkeys or jungle creatures for her. Pen's mosquito costume was a work of artistic brilliance, from the eyes and beak fashioned from two tea strainers and cardboard to the growing number of "bites" which appeared on Ash over the night. This back view gives only the merest hints of her genius.


Pen's low-key costume attempt for a "We love 1976" party resulted in some fabulous his and hers matching head gear.
