Today I visited a lovely lady, who worked for my family for more years than I care to remember. I have always called her Mrs B and now, aged over 90, she remains as fit as a fiddle. She has tremendous powers of remembering everything we got up to all those years ago. A happy hour and then down to Portland on my motorcycle to meet a constituent who wanted to talk politics. I went to his partner's house and there we had an interesting 90 minutes together talking about the things that affect Portland and the islanders. Then it was odd to a tea party with Derek Luckhurst, the CEO of Agincare, which has moved its new HQs to Portland. Derek and his team were celebrating the company's 30th anniversary and we all enjoyed a glass of bubbly and cake. Speeches were made and photos taken and I reflected on a company which now employs 3,000 staff and is still expanding. Derek and other entrepreneurs like him are to be admired for the sheer courage it takes to establish and then run your own business. And now that he has moved on to Portland, he has begun to regenerate Castletown with new businesses and a military history museum. It's an impressive achievement. My column this week is about the Royal Yacht Britannia and I join the chorus of calls to build a new one. The column is on this website.
