It's chilly in Minsk today

My spies in Belarus tell me that Nottingham's delegation to Minsk has been frozen out.

That's only because of the weather, though - it's minus 15 and they are all walking around in Russian hats, large coats (see the picture, taken in Minsk around 10 this morning).
The Nottingham delegation arrived in the city yesterday and has been sitting through back-to-back meetings with city officials and developers about the £500m scheme to build a new quarter just outside the capital and call it 'Residential Complex Nottingham'.
It was, apparently, particularly chilly in the forest just outside Minsk where Univest hopes to build an upmarket, English-style suburb which will be home to 20,000 people.
There, they were shown plans of the development and have since been involved in conversations with Minsk authorities and Univest about how the scheme will work, where the money will come from and what role Nottingham architects, civil engineers and finance experts might play.
We'll know more after tomorrow.
