"I am thrilled to be returning to
Malta. I have been once before, very briefly, when I was nine years old. I
was travelling back to England from East Africa where my parents lived at
the time and the plane we were in came down unexpectedly in Timbuktu (it
crash landed with an engine on fire) and the only plane available to take
us on to Europe was one that was heading for Malta.
I
have a memory of arriving in Malta in the very early morning, being given
a blanket, and seeing people swimming off some rocks. (It was the
1950s).
Now I have two new connections with Malta; one personal and
one professional. My daughter has just married a man whose father's family
came from Malta, and - of course - IFAT has a member in Malta. I am always
delighted when I become aware of Fair Trade activity in a "new" country
and I am looking forward so much to being with you for the "Taste the
World" Fair Trade Festival on 2 November."
