The family couldn't get here so it's time to go back!

Covid has messed up the best laid plans for many.  One of our researchers scheduled for a two year fellowship awaited the arrival of family member from China.  With travel restrictions and and ongoing pandemic they could not get here so she decided to go back early.  That depended on getting a plane ticket for quite a price but she got one and so we bade farewell to her with a small celebration and makeover. Her contribution to the fete was one of the best - the Banana Cream Tart from Pastiche.

They make good stuff!

We've seen it before and we'll see it again!

Now that's a mound of schlag!

Pastry, bananas, banana mousse and whipped cream - to die for!

And I brought it!

A minor makeover since I had to get it at the train station.

The farewell ten second shot!
