Did the surprise, surprise. Yes it did. Even though we were doing it in an hotel with airport level security. So it took engagement with and the help of security men and a receptionist. What was fascinating and charming was that several hours later the same staff were interested to talk to us  and discover if the surprise was a successful and happy outcome for all of us.

Planning surprises always have a degree of jeopardy, that is what makes them great when they work out.

This set of surprises had all of us with our feet not on solid ground for most of the day. Lunch and a hotel room in London’s highest building and then a trip up a Chimney at Battersea Power Station. 10,000 steps on the ground but many trips in funky lifts.

No photo opportunity ever missed.

Aerial views in another blog later today.
