five of us assembled in Fergus and Tristan's sitting room to print photos and put together the album. In a way, it felt a little like a wake. We joked that should Thomas turn up unannounced, we'd have a hard time explaining what were doing there without him!

As the album took shape, we couldn't help but feel it was all a bit... twee. A little bit of the teasing Thomas comes in for at every meeting was needed. After much debate, the following addition was settled upon:

Finally crawled in to bed around 2am (with stunning fog inside the station at Stratford), album safely stashed in my bag.
