“HELLO SAILOR”

Not last night but the night before, us W+K 'suits' set sail for our departmental summer 'love in'.  

All talk of timing plans and estimates was left at the door as the team (Pimm's in hand) sped to Little Venice to jump aboard the 'Lawping' to cruise the canal.  
Pimms o'clock 

As we crept towards Camden, we were casually overtaken by athletic canoeists, familiar faces jogging by and Mr Conaway's dream home(s). And naturally the boat bar took a battering…

The 'nautical but nice' dress code was strictly adhered to…Stripes 
Conaway 

…and the hugely unjust 20:7 girl:boy split was lapped up by the minority.  
Tart 

Smacking the side of the barge REALLY HARD against the lock announced our arrival and sparked the steady flow of mojitos.  Live music and Cuban tapas wrapped up a chilled team night out, gearing us up for the agency summer party next week…
