What an incredible four days I had at Cromwell St, Battery point, chez Benedicte. I stayed with her in November 2015 when I came to Hobart for a conference. Benedicte made me feel very welcome, and it was wonderful to be able to practise my far from fluent French with a native speaker. Benedicte has a home full of lodgers, and I met and conversed with most of them. All were very interesting young people and it was a delight to meet them.
