On a perfect Wellington evening, Friends and Trustees of the Randell Cottage Writers Trust, along with French Embassy representatives, gathered at the home of Pip and Simon Murdoch to meet Julien Blanc-Gras and his wife Aurore.  

 

Julien spoke of his enjoyment in getting to know the Wellington scene and his plans to travel around the country, including visits to Alliance Française groups.  He is already making good progress on researching and drafting his next novel.
