On Friday night Kiong and I were very lucky to be invited along to the Windows on Europe Film Festival launch at the Dendy Cinema, Hamilton. The event was organised by our friend and counterpart from the Council for Europe, Elfi Massey-Vallazza and as usual, Elfi did an amazing job - she once again sourced the most incredible venue at Gianni's overlooking the river with a wonderful view of the Gateway Bridge and portside. I always pick up something new for our own events from her!
The evening was hosted by Mr John Richards, representing the Delegation of the EU in Australia and New Zealand, along with the Dendy Cinema. The festival will be continuing until the end of February with films from around Europe. We were also very lucky to be able to see a movie as well (when you've got small kids, these opportunities are few and far between). Spain holds the current presidency of the EU so "Hector", was chosen. It was quite a charming film - about a teenage boy who is taken in by his auntie's family after his mother's death, and the tug of war when his long estranged father wants to be involved in his life. It was an enjoyable evening and we must really thank Elfi and the Council for Europe for their hospitality.

As always Elfi Massey, President of the Australian Council for Europe was the perfect host. It was a pleasure to meet Mr John Richards, Minister - Counsellor, Delegation of the European Union to Australia and to New Zealand who officially launched the event.
