A Modern Mother

My phone made it to Hong Kong!

Have you been following my little project with O2 Recycle? I recycled my shattered iPhone  and O2 was kind enough to track her journey from my house to new owner. The poor little darling was so nervous when she left here. I didn't have the heart to tell her I got £157 for recycling her.

Well, in my last post she was in Scotland in the recycle warehouse and getting gussied up. I think she had time to visit the inlaws.

I have just had word that she in now in Hong Kong! Wow. I've never even been to Hong Kong. How exciting.

I'm just waiting on word about her final owner. But for you enthusiasts out there, here's what happened to her after she got off the cargo flight...

Going back to Uni, Four Season Style

Did I tell you I was going back to school? It’s true. Last Thursday and Friday I hit the books at Four Seasons University, learning what it takes to run a luxury hotel. I got to turn down beds, create chocolate treats for younger guests and even got a glimpse into the financials.

OK, it wasn’t real Uni, but it sure felt like it (even though I sat through lectures in the comfort of the Four Seasons country estate in Hampshire.) All that tasting beluga caviar and Scottish smoked salmon really tires one out! I was knackered by the last session on Friday afternoon, a “speed dating” exercise with representatives from 15 different Four Seasons destinations.
