Roslyn had an event on Tuesday with London’s lovable mayor Boris Johnson (surely one of few politicians around the world that people are actually fans of). The Mayor’s International Business Programme was launched today by Boris to help fast growing London companies expand abroad into international markets, and become globally successful.
At the launch event of The Mayor’s International Business Programme, Boris related export programs to James Bond by noting how many UK brands were featured in the recent Spectre movie, and joking with the crowd along the way. Boris doesn’t really look like a typical politician, instead he looks like a cross between a fully grown man and a shaggy haired child – perhaps that is part of the reason why the public love him. Afterwards, the team debriefed at the pub and celebrated a successful day.
On Friday afternoon Roslyn caught up for drinks with her former Royal College of Psychiatrists colleagues, George and Lucie (who is also Australian). Brendan joined them a bit later on for dinner and drinks as well.
The monthly Aussies in London drinks were on Saturday at The Pear Tree, a quirky little suburban pub near Hammersmith. With its small internal proportions, open fire, extensive dark timber, and dim lighting, you wouldn’t expect to find this old English pub so close to the city. As the afternoon rolled into the evening and we grew hungry, we moved across to another (cheaper) pub at Hammersmith station, The Swan.
