…just a few of the many lovely comments by text and email in the week following our 8th BeGood on the Thames London Boat Party.
Our heartfelt thanks to everyone who joined us for what we hope was something special to really remember your Summer by! It was certainly one of our favourite events and we'd do it all again, exactly the same, tomorrow if we could! The clouds cleared on a dull week and let through some beautiful sunshine across the river and the city. We saw the sunset from the wide expanses of The Thames beyond Greenwich and returned West as the city lit up. The Summer breeze blowing in through the open windows. The floodlit reaches of Tower Bridge looming overhead and boat horns sounding in the night sky. And let's not forget the small matter of us dropping some of the best damned house records we could find. Yes, it was a fine night! View all Boat party and Ministry photos here
