I've known Ann and Dave for ten years. Ann joined the company at around the same time I did, then went off to work elsewhere and then came back to us. She's been on maternity leave for the last year and it's been difficult staying in touch.

Last night was the culmination of weeks of planning, a cancelled date (when David's band were gigging) and finally a fab meal in a really nice restaurant in Guildford.

Ann and Dave have always been legendary drinkers....Ann gave me my biggest ever hangover not long after we met and Dave, surprisingly for such a slim chap, can really put it away too.
