It does look a little nefarious as Mim collects the cash for our first CD sales in a hotel car-park in West London, particularly with Mark looking on in those shades! But it's all perfectly legitimate really. We'd all been to a wedding and the transaction was taking place as we prepared to go our separate ways.

If you are wondering about the walking stick, it is another symbol of the cruel blows the Hand of Fate manages to deal to Mim on the slightest provocation. It wasn't orthopaedic this time, for a change, but a truly monstrous vertigo attack which ended up with her in hospital on a drip, and for which she didn't have a proper diagnosis, though she does now; it's apparently Ménière's Disease. It left her very weak and wobbly — hence the stick.

Sophie was the one with the camera on this occasion.
