Hello welcome to my Blog

Mezze is widely served in the Greek and Middle eastern world. An assortment of little dishes and tasters which accompany a nice ouzo or a glass of wine. So when you read mezze moments you will have tasty snippets of life as I live it, India for four years and now Brisbane Australia, all served up with some Greek fervour and passion.

A most exciting Day

Today at 7 am I welcomed 5 strapping lads into my garden. Dave and Co from https://rightwaytreesolutions.com/ were here to rid our Poinsiania of the cactus and cat's claw that had taken hold of it all these years and to give it a good prune as the branches were over extending and in danger of falling. Well I haven't had so much fun in a long time, not just because they were all so lovely and chatty, as well as hard working but also watching the sheer expertise required to do a job like this. Dave made it look so easy. He was like Tarzan, flinging himself from branch to branch, issuing instructions to the lads below and doing a fine job of cutting off all the invasive weeds as well as the overhanging branches. My heart was in my mouth watching him as he seemed to balance on nothing and managed to handle his saw and the ropes all superbly. In the process I believe we disturbed a possum or two but they will be back together with all the birds tomorrow I am sure. Dennis and Doreen were perched on branches just above supervising it all! 

So this is the tree today - you can see the cactus spreading right through to the very top.

 This is the invasive cactus which took over most of the tree's trunk.

And this is what we can look forward to seeing in November of 2020. Cant wait.Well done guys.
