Today we invited people to "bring the food you love" for a multicultural bring and share lunch... it was truly wonderful... by far the greatest number of people I have seen stay for a shared meal since I arrived here, and by far the biggest variety of food I have seen in a very long time.

The atmosphere was wonderful... both the buzz of conversation before the food was ready, and the near silence as everyone tucked into good food.

The service beforehand was half decent too!
