the Story Bridge
I leave Brisbane on Saturday for Italy, via Hong Kong, Helsinki and Paris. I have bought an i Pad and I can do basic stuff with it, so I am hoping to be able to post as I travel.
Here are some of the things I will miss about my wonderful home town while I am away. Spring has arrived and Brisbane is looking good.
gorgeous tropical flowers
I'll miss my courtyard
I'll miss my walks through Southbank

Australian native plants in the Mall
As part of the Brisbane Festival the city has been putting on a light show every night. I went last night and joined thousands of people enjoying a perfect spring evening beside the river.

it looks different at night
When I got back from Italy in May there was a tiny pineapple growing in a pot in my courtyard – click here to see my pinapple surprise. It is fitting that it ripened this week, just before I leave. It seemed a shame to eat our entire pineapple crop in one sitting, but I did just that.

it was delicious
Liz will do the next posts until I have something to share from Hong Kong and beyond.
