Floralia

The second party put on by us, The Conclave of Revelry (with a faintly mystical theme, decorations, optional costumes, me on the decks playing a high-concept musical policy (slightly undone by requests), powerful dancing, lovely people, charitable collection) was.... FLORALIA.

It was lovely, people got covered in temporary tattoos and we raised £85 for Mind.
