The cab picks me up from the Study Centre at 11:00 to take myself and Nick to Stansted for our flight to Prague. Great Parndon Community Association has had a relationship with Prague 15 district for nearly ten years now, which the council has become a part of, and when the deputies from Prague 15 attended my Civic Dinner in October, they invited us to pay a return visit.
Susan from Prague 15, a regular visitor to Harlow now, is on the same flight as we are, and we catch up with her at the Easyjet departure gate. She's arranged a car to pick us all up at Prague airport, so when we arrive - after an hour and a half flight - we're whisked off to the hotel in which our Prague hosts have kindly accommodated us during our stay.
After a couple of hours to unpack, shower and change, we're collected for a meal with Marčela and George and Susan at a nearby restaurant. Marčela is the deputy responsible for Prague 15's international relations, and her English is excellent. We enjoy a very pleasant meal, and I have a chance to ask Marčela about her views on how the relationship between Harlow and Prague 15 could develop in the future.
