Addressing the Press

This evening we held a press conference for the UK in Mexico Year. Instead of going for a grand, institutional event in Centro Historico, we perversely chose an unassuming, 'alternative' place in Condesa with a large tree growing out of its smallish main room. I think it threw a lot of people. But it kind of worked. We were expecting about 30 press, but got 70, plus another 50 others. The proof of the pudding will be what appear in the media over the next few days. The Year really feels like it's underway now.
