How do you like my new lamp stand?

A hopeless title so if anyone can think of a better one, I'd be most grateful.

Pete and I tootled off to Ealing to meet up with friends for a spot of lunch. It was great fun and good to catch up with everyone. The group pictures I took are rubbish, unfortunately.

This is my friend Mary. We have been friends since we were 4 years old! Trust me, the day we met was a very, very long time ago.
