Working & Socializing with Staff from Melbourne Mushrooms

Of course I will not bore you with any details or pictures from our Mushroom Consulting job...
We're now into our 2nd week of working for Melbourne Mushrooms. It was such a miserable wet and cold day on Thursday, the 1st week!
A very kind gentleman at the Mushroom plant, named 'George', gave me a thick and warm coat.
I could have hugged him for giving me such WARMTH!
Melbourne Mushrooms P/L.
As you can see, it is fuzzy warm lined out totally with this imitation fur...
So I was in heaven!
Where the farm is located, in Mernda, you just can see under the + sign to the left.
On Tuesday, October 6, 1992 we were all going to have dinner with the Staff, at a restaurant in St. Andrews, top right in this map. It was in the hills.
It is often good for being able to socialize in a more relaxed atmosphere instead of constantly doing training on the job...
That's me in the center, wearing my black leather coat.
Pieter, in the center, is listening animated here.
Me in the center left, looking like I'm in thoughts...
Here again, me looking at the camera...
Dinner is being served at the long table...
A note from Campbell's MUSHROOMS that we later received in November from staff members Craig Bass and Richard Bell
Wishing us to balance our work commitments with our guest for a little free time...
Pieter's eldest brother did stay with us in November of 1992.

On October 15 we both did fly back home, via Honolulu, Hawaii this time.
Thanks for your visit and comment!

Stay tuned for the next part.

    Hello Mariette, To the contrary, I think it is interesting and that you should tell and show us more about mushroom consulting and the mushroom industry. I love reading about agriculture, and mushroom growing is one of its most unusual branches!

      Dearest Jim,
      Well, with patience I will address that aspect also one day... The mushroom industry is indeed a very interesting and also high tech branch!
      Hugs,
      Mariette

    Looks like a warm, lovely gathering. Hope you're still wearing your leather coat, Mariette. A classic!

      Yes, it was a lovely gathering and you bet I still have that black leather coat; will never get rid of it.

    It is wonderful to work together with persons who have the same purpose as you do.

      Dearest RTC,
      We always tried our very best for educating those working in the mushroom industry and making them more aware of the high hygiene standards that need to be followed. All that in order to have a healthy yield of high quality mushrooms.
      Hugs,
      Mariette

      Dearest Kelleyn,
      You are referring to the kind gentleman George that handed me the warm coat?
      Hugs,
      Mariette

    Looks like you had nice, relaxing time together! The hand written note is so sweet. So is George at the plant for giving you a coat when it was cold. Everyone seems really nice :-)

      Dearest Tamago,
      Yes, such handwritten notes are treasures and the warm coat, given by George was priceless!
      Hugs,
