DATELINE MONDAY 11TH NOVEMBER 2019

ARMISTICE DAY THE ELEVENTH HOUR, OF THE ELEVENTH DAY, OF THE ELEVENTH MONTH 101 YEARS AGO

Awesome Monday morning greetings from London W10, I hope all is well with you and that you had a great weekend. What a sparkling start to the week in London; sunny, dry and extremely crisp! Aka cold.

I hope you had a great weekend, I was in Malta with Erika, Claudia, Douglas, Helga- the team at Mi Malta DMC and ten amazing conference and incentive clients. We landed in sunshine on Friday afternoon and we took off in sunshine on Sunday afternoon, 22° C during the day and 16° C at night, what’s not to like 😊 We stayed at the Westin Hotel in St Julian’s, their guest rooms are huge; all with balconies and a view of the sea. It’s a simply lovely hotel, I have stayed there a few times and the lounge bar area is so very cosy and just the way a hotel type place should be. I like Westin as a brand and the Westin Malta is perfect as all the rooms have recently been refurbished. The hotel has great outdoor space for alfresco dining and events. Oh there is also a casino three minutes’ walk, I just had to pop in out of curiosity, didn’t stay very long I never go to Casinos in the UK but when I travel it’s kind of nice to pop in.

Halloween√ tick, Diwali √ tick, Guy Fawkes √ tick, the countdown has commenced, six Monday mornings till you know what. Something that has also commenced is countdown to the 12th December, the general election, the newspapers are full of it, social media is full of it, the twittersphere is full of it, politicians of all shapes, classes, lineage, right, left and centre are on our TV screens day and night. Politicians also have started “misspeaking” sounds like a name for a language teacher Miss Speaking 😊
