Thurs 24 July: Last day in Melbourne

Today was my last day in Melbourne and it was spent in yet more meetings and a very enjoyable morning with a social enterprise cleaning business. I then went for dinner with a couple called Rachel and Doug, who are old family friends of one of my London colleagues. They were absolutely lovely and insisted on paying for dinner, as well as providing the wine. We had Italian and lots of good conversation – it’s great to talk to Australians about their country, really fascinating. Can't remember any of the fascinating things I discovered now of course!
