If you can’t come to Cannes, bring Cannes to you.
That was the spirit behind a hugely enjoyable lunch last Saturday in London as I caught up with a delegation from the King Power (Hong Kong) team, Centaur Travel Retail’s Rakhita Jayawardena and Peter Sant, Managing Director of Rémy Cointreau Global Travel Retail.

It was my first public outing since my surgery earlier in the month and it was great to catch up with old friends and to hear all the stories from Cannes.
In fact, given that most of those present had partaken extensively of Cannes’ legendary social agenda, it’s probably fair to say The Moodie Report Chairman looked as healthy as any of those present. And that’s got to be good for the recuperation process.
Good to see you smiling, Martin. Hope to see you soon~
Dear Martin
You look fabulous and is great to see you having some well deserved recreation with friends. With the kind of company you were in, I am confident it was a wonderful time you guys shared. We did miss you at Cannes this year and look forward to seeing you soon.
Warm Regards

Martin,
Terrific to see this. I only learned about what happenned when I was in Cannes last week. Apologies for not responding earlier but just wanted you to know that you have been in my thoughts and prayers ever since. I am praying for a full recovery and complete restoration to body, spirit and soul.
