The intervening years also brought changes to the Czech and Slovak embassies which meant that when the Garden Party could be held it had to be held elsewhere. It was nice to be back in the Czech Embassy and in the shared gardens (that is the Slovak Embassy on the left).
The format was much the same as it ever was with food, drink, music, dancing and a raffle. Also the same as ever were the conversations that filled the afternoon and gave the party its purpose.
Towards the end this group photograph was taken. I think a few shy people hid and some may have left by then but I think that it includes around a dozen people that I spoke to at some point during the convivial four hours that the party lasted.

Not even the determined efforts of TfL (no District Lines, mainline trains severely delayed) could dent the simple pleasures of the afternoon.
