It’s not going to be very relaxing this weekend as we have lots of things to organise. I pretty much emptied the flat yesterday ahead of us renting it out and today I have to sort out all the stuff that I brought back with me.
I also have to pack my bags ahead of returning to London tomorrow evening.
The week ahead is pretty hectic as there are still some parts of the handover to complete, the biggest elements being marketing and the hot drinks category. My team are in good spirits and I’m particularly pleased at how smoothly the transition between myself and my successor has gone. One of the ways in within I will be judging my effectiveness over the last 15 or so months is seeing if the business starts to gather momentum, I’m hopeful that the team will continue to drive the business forward and take it to the next level.
What’s been really nice has been the number of people who have written to me to wish me well and I just wanted to thank everybody for their good wishes.
Health wise, I have managed to lose half a stone over the last two weeks which I am reasonably encouraged by. I have a long way to go to get back to where I was a couple of years ago but it’s vital that this is what I do.
