Everything is paid for including 2-3 nights in an upmarket hotel in Soho when she first arrived. The "students" live there & have their meals I think in the place used for Harry Potter films - Harry Potter was part of her childhood growing up! She was so excited
The mobile is being switched off for the 8 days and it's an intensive. When she get back they're flying her to NZ to present her experience over there. Pretty amazing for a 26 about to be 27 year old who has never been to uni and was pretty unacademic at school. Her best subject was "Textiles" or some such thing & she's always liked fashion.

Not all that amazing, there's a few of us around, but good on her. Smart girl obviously, must get it from her mum.   |
She can be tough. She had some people underperforming in management positions in stores & they've moved on. I asked her how she went about doing that. She said she made sure she worked along side them to make sure they were doing what was required. She was Always clear about that. She also rewarded achievement - something basic but still not done enough.
She's been working friggin' long hours including 7 day weeks etc. The company looks after her & she looks after the company.

And none of them, except possibly the deer, have dual nationality, so they're not excluded by s 44 of the Constitution from standing for election to the Cth Parliament.
Imagine electing an actual (rather than merely putative) wombat to the House of Reps - it'd increase the average IQ in the forest and in the Parliament at the same time. |

It's not a sanctuary, I'm living in a 2 room cabin on a 150 acres of semi-rainforest outside Bermagui. All the critters that drop by do so of their own free will. It's a beautiful part of the world but it does feel like I'm living in a wildlife sanctuary at times! Here's some more pix!
...and No I don't shoot Bambi. I get my venison via the barter system!
