Adding a few more photos..
The Kristalle booth had a private area where high jinks seem to happen. I was invited to high tea at four o'clock and was presented with a proper hat and scones, clotted cream and jams as well as lovely hot tea. The cameras started poking in the curtains as people snuck photos....well, so it went till the fellows had THEIR turn. Pinkies in the air!
