Our first visitor...

...is Mireille, my French, now French-Aussie, friend from way back. She's here on a photography study tour with her Queensland university and had some of her work in an exhibition in Qingdao on the coast. Nice to see her (it's been over six years) and catch up on all the gossip without having to resort to Facebook. Also gave me the opportunity to give her a present to take back to her son, and my godson, Haydn, and with whom I should be more in touch with, guilt, guilt.
