Much excitement amongst the Fairtrade team as the freshly printed Fairtrade Fortnight tent cards arrive at W+K London.

These irresistibly pick-upable big mugs will be sent out to businesses all over the country to sit on peoples' desks and let them know about Fairtrade Fortnight 2010. On the back, the mugs explain our campaign for next year, The Big Swap (swap your usual stuff for Fairtrade stuff), and act as a cheeky reminder to any lazy tea-making co-workers: that it is their turn to get the kettle on, and make a Fairtrade brew.

Enjoying a big cup of tea are Fairtrade team Katherine, Alice (only her second day at W+K, would you believe), Lou and Ray.

Its been ten days since we've heard news of Neil.  Then two emails in quick succession:

'I have aligned my chakras and cleansed my aura.  When I get back its all reiki and chanting, all day for everyone.

Go in peace.'

'Sabbatical great.  I'm sitting in a filthy shed in Ladakh trying not to catch cholera.  I've had blazing heat, torrential monsoon, and now frigging cold!  But I'm on a journey….'
