This is what has been affecting us - and still is affecting us this week! Glad it hasn’t downed our phone lines but the impact has been dreadful and the catchup for the clerks will be hard work too. Thanks to everyone helping us get through.

Four generations of Heads of Chambers too. And just one of us ignored the dress code 😬 Fab night!
What a lovely evening to thank Jamie Hill KC for his time as Head of Chambers and celebrate DJ(MC) Bennett's appointment. Thanks to Rachel Mangenie, once again, for her excellent party co-ordination.

Glad I was there but pleased I escaped the photo opportunity 😄 Looking fab guys!
Lovely morning at DJ(MC) Bennett's swearing in ceremony. So glad he chose to come back to Middlesbrough so we could all enjoy it with him! Even the family team found their robes for the occasion.

Good luck both of you. I hope the clerks have been kind!
Wishing James Colwell and Cainan Lonsdale the best of luck as they start their second six on Monday. We are sure they will both be great.
