Up the Misty Mountain

Yesterday I picked up my friends SHEZ and CHERYLL who are in town for the Lets Get Stitched meet up. We went on a girls road trip up to meet our lovely mate FIONA. up on the Darling Downs. We met Fiona at one of my favourite spots along the way to have a cuppa....Spring Bluff railway station.
You never know what kind of clientele you may meet there though lol!
We made poor Shez and her recovering ankle walk up all those stairs to the cafe. It is a lovely cafe which I have always enjoyed.

We had a lovely morning tea out on the front verandah and even had a little sunshine overlooking the gardens. You know......word of warning !
Tour guides should check their facts....yours truly informed her friends...... trains hardly ever come through here. Cheryll crossed the tracks......for a squizzy look see....not long after .....
Might have got that a tad wrong lol! One of three....oops!
I love the old station and the gardens....not at their best with all the recent heat but still pretty.





If you look closely you will see some of the bees that were all over these blooms...
After our sustenance Fiona took us for a little fabric therapy at Highfields....
Very nice indeed.
She then took us off to her lovely home and fed and watered us.....some of us couldn't wait to inspect Fiona's  new sewing chair (with secret compartment )
Ahhh she knows us so well......inside a little surprise each for us.....lol! Sprung!
So gorgeous! Sweet tin with chokkies and fabric....yum!
As it turns out mine is from the same range that I had treated myself to earlier...
As is the way when you are spending time with special friends, it just flew by way too fast! Filled with laughter and chatter and lovely lunch.....thank you Fiona xxx
The rain had held off all day but we had a misty and rainy trip down the mountain home.
Mr. R. was smiling big-time when he saw my gift from Shez......
Shez 's hubby's green fingers and Shez delicious cooking makes for the best beetroot EVER!
Finding people with whom you can just be yourself is such a blessing.
Namaste and Blessings Michelle xxx

  1. Lovely day trip, Michelle! I think we visited Spring Bluff years ago but don't remember the cafe, perhaps it hadn't yet been invented.

  8. Lol! Yes even though that station appears quiet and peaceful, those huge, long coal trains thunder through Spring Bluff regularly! I see in the last photo that Shez is posing in the way that Chez taught her...standing sideways and with the arm bent...Chez told us that that gives a slimmer line. I will be doing that in future! Lol
