My entire trip from New York to London kicked off as a feral trade. Our
flight at EWR was canceled, so we were transferred to JFK by school buses
who were on strike then. The delay affected the exchange of a bag of tea
waiting for me at London Heathrow to be transferred to MOMA in NY. The
founder of the FT, Kate, who I know since the very beginning of the
project, couldn't wait for me and sadly had to take train back to Bristol,
accompanied by the tea. In the days to come we managed to arrange a meeting
between friend of mine and fiend of hers, who finally met and exchanged the
tea. The tea reached me, but have not reached the destination yet. What an
elastic social network...
First off, I was thrilled to know that the project has lasted for so long,
and then to be part of it myself after so many years.

kate rich feb 10th, handover of tea to milena looked imperilled as the meeting of historic winter storms dumped blizzards on new york airports, potentially preventing the inbound flight of the courier to uk. but late night of 9th british airways website confirmed her flight was on schedule. Accordingly i departed bristol pre-dawn sunday, free ride in heath bunting's europcar rental on its return to heathrow airport. Arrived Terminal 5 arrivals spot on 9AM where the illuminated board displayed milena's flight as cancelled. BA air hostesses did calculations on their tablet computers & reckoned she could be on the 10AM arriving flight. when this one too passed without milena passenger i gave up due to the onset of a heavy winter cold, & headed home through grim weather via tube, replacement bus service, ealing broadway train to london paddington, and engineering works-slowed bristol train. 1/2 way back into the west country milena phoned in her 4 hours late arrival into london, but cold & throat-sore trader couldn't face the turnaround & continued enroute back to bristol.
Alice Vandeleur-Boorer Whilst at a friends housewarming, Kate told me of her early morning failed delivery attempt. with half my mind on the pancake i was eating, I considered the misfortune and eventually remembered i was traveling to London the following morning. It struck me that this would give a great sense of purpose to a grey/ wet/snowy winter Monday. I stopped by Kate's place at 8am to pick up the tea, then headed off on my bicycle in the direction of the train station. For one day on the saddle it was not possible for me to cycle all the way to London, so my plan was begin cycling from Chippenham and aim to reach Reading by nightfall. The Sustrans national cycle network is a marvolous tool, and i was glad to be following the blue and red signs from directly outside Chippenham train station. I followed route number 403 into early afternoon through snow, hail, rain, floods, mud, fields, washed out tracks and a bit of road, stopping briefly at Avebury Stone circles for a photo and to eat as much tea, cake and egg sandwich as possible. the weather in the afternoon cleared up to a more bearable grey sky and I finally i hit the 22 mile slimy towpath from Newbury to Reading at 4.30pm. I reached Reading train station 8pm waring my head torch and glad i hadn't ridden into the dark canal. After reaching Paddington and leaving my bike locked up, it took me a couple of hours to find a hostel for the night. By 11pm i was tucked up on top bunk trying to ignore the europop coming from the kitchen and the french students making out in the bunk next to me. When morning came i enjoyed breakfast with the anti-social early risers and successfully delivered the tea to Diana at 9.20am at Goodge Steet Tube station.
Amelia Winger-Bearskin It was wonderful to meet Milena in the upper west side and exchange a large pink bag full of tea, which I brought to Sarah Kennedy at MoMA for the Exchange Cafe. Milena gave my son her son's email so they could communicate via the internet while she is abroad and the children plan to create games to play together online. Nice to make a new friend.
