Summer Chilling
Summer time and the living is easy. As the hectic diplomatic calendar drew to a close, the Young Diplomats enjoyed a relaxing end to the week with a cocktail reception at the BMW Park Lane showroom with views over Hyde Park. Keith Waite’s African Quintet kicked off proceedings with some laid-back jazz and blues, while diplomats sipped dreamy diplomatic coolers (chilled rosé sparkling wines and wild strawberries courtesy of IDS) and enjoyed massages on the house thanks to Urban Skin. Great prizes were up for grabs including a week in a BMW Z4 convertible – perfect for open-air country drives over the summer holidays.
