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.

Spring Bluff

No bluffing here, more like BURSTING with colours and bees. A gorgeous day trip on a perfect spring day to Spring Bluff near Toowoomba probably Queensland's prettiest Railway station. Its a heritage listed railway line between Ipswich and Toowoomba. 

It all started some 150 years ago when Queensland Railways launched a garden competition for railway stations. Station Master Ralph Kirsop and his wife Lillian enthusiastically went about beautifying and planting their railway station. Their hard work is there for us all to enjoy and admire. 

The Station which is now immaculately preserved and has some train activity. 

Foxgloves with Bees deep inside the flowers.
Cherry blossom so dark and red as I have never seen before. 
A new plant for me - one which I will set about trying to identify. 
The fine blossom of this hanging grevillea - the native and European honey bees were all over it. 




Its just a burst of life, colour and hope. For those who are able to make the short journey go now.
