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.

Thanks everyone and he did it again.

A Monday unlike others, so thank you everyone who sent FB greetings, cards, flowers, voice messages and calls which made the celebration extra special. The day, which rolled out simply, was filled with much cheer with favourite birds, feathered and otherwise, who came to share some of it with me. It could not have been a sweeter and better celebration. Dougall's family came to my door and sung for me and all made cards ( look at the one below). We sipped bubbly on a sun filled deck nibbling cheese sticks while the birds feasted on their sunflower seeds. A joint celebration fit for any self respecting bird-woman.

The first rose in the garden appeared just in time for the day ! 

He did it again - he managed to surprise me on my Birthday and that is no small feat. He took me off to a strange place in Chapel Hill and as we were getting close my curiosity increased. What could it be ? What had he found? Where was he taking me ? 

Well here it is my Birthday present for 2020. My own hive of stingless native bees courtesy of a lovely man called Tony who seemed to live among boxes and bits and pieces all happily co existing within his untidy yard. Sitting in a corner was my very own little beehive complete with roof and a busy colony of bees buzzing inside. The good news is that these are stingless native bees, much smaller than European honey bees but just as wonderful and busy.
