The MEI team is now safely in Cape Town, joined by an additional member, Amanda’s elder son, Will, who is spending a week with us on work experience as he considers becoming the next-generation partner in MEI.
Barbara and I arrived at midday on Friday after a surprisingly seamless rail journey from Falmouth to Heathrow, followed by the late-evening BA flight to Cape Town International (CTI).
Will caught the early-evening flight on Friday, having landed at Heathrow just three hours earlier after his holiday in Thailand. He should have been accompanied by Amanda, but travelling from Cornwall is rarely straightforward; after a gruelling ten-hour coach journey to the airport, she missed the flight. Fortunately, she managed to transfer to the later one and arrived at CTI yesterday lunchtime, around the same time as Jon, who arrived from Luxembourg via Istanbul on Turkish Airlines.
Now settled into the Vineyard Hotel, we enjoyed drinks together last night at the Waterfront, at the Ferrymans, followed by dinner at the Harbour House restaurant. We are now all set to welcome the first of our 400 delegates to Flotation '25 today.
