A very big house in the country
For our summer RLM (real life meeting) we headed to a remote country house in Kent. Day 1 was spent around the kitchen table (literally) talking company strategy and plans for the future, and Day 2 was all about protecting ourselves against a zombie invasion by building huge catapults to hurl grapefruits from (we got a little carried away). The big house in the country was a great success, and we hope to make it an annual trip.

Day in the Life
