To end of a good year at work we all went to The Library of Liquor (above The Larderhouse) in Southbourne for our Xmas lunch. None of the guys had been before so it was a bit of a surprise for people, transporting back to the latter part of last century.

Normally it is a quiet drinking place but for Xmas they were holding private dinners up there so we got the whole place to ourselves.

It all started off quite nicely with a cocktail or two. A bit potent as your first drink of the afternoon, but hey it is Christmas.

All set, ready to go.

Some cava to finish the afternoon on.

Last picture above is one of us at the end with all the presents that we donated to a local charity called Julia's House as part of our Secret Santa.
