I've become very slack about posting on FB and while I usually have good intentions I don't always follow through. A couple of weeks ago we said goodbye to our Caravan Back Packers - (definitely too young to be grey nomads). It was wonderful having you here Steve and Jen and hope you enjoyed at least some of your time with us. Thanks for all your hard work.

The Australian Lychee Growers Meeting was a little different this year. We met in Brisbane and spent time looking at where our lychees go instead of on farms looking at how they grow. Obviously there were no lychees in the markets yet, but we did get to see some fabulous fruit displays at Harris Farms Market (including some of our loquats!)

Last night was family dinner night and time to try another cocktail. Picking carambola at the moment so why not a "Stargarita" - Starfruit Margarita. Probably one of the easiest/best recipe for carambola other than just eating it! Choose quite ripe carambola - yellow colour is good for juicier fruit.

Blend about 4 carambola.(remove seeds and ribs first if you want to be fussy) Strain and collect juice.
Add juice of one mature lime (about 60ml/3 tablespoons if you have small green limes)
Add Caster sugar or sugar syrup to taste (I used about 3 tablespoons)
Add tequila (measure if you or someone is driving - 90ml )
Stir - to dissolve sugar, if using.
Rub rim of glasses with lime wedge and dip in salt flakes.
Serve with ice and a star on the side!!

Groves Grown Tropical Fruits is proud to be associated with Keppel Coast Athletics Club. This fabulous club not only encourages a healthy lifestyle and participation in sport for all, but develops great athletes too.
I’m pretty sure they all train so hard just so they don’t have to listen to Paul’s jokes!!

We’ve all heard the saying “stuck between a rock and a hard place”, and we’ve probably often felt ourselves in this situation. It’s not just us that experience difficulties, even avocados do, but that doesn’t stop them, they just grow around them. So next time you think you’re stuck and think there’s no way out, think of the avo. There’s always some way forward, it just might not be the way you originally thought it would be.

Today we had a visit from Yeppoon Seaside QCWA group. As per usual for me, I forgot to take any photos so I took a photo of the lovely gift they gave us. Hopefully one of the ladies will see this post and share a photo they took.

We had a lovely morning tea and I got to get on my soap box about the importance of family farms. (Think I was preaching to the converted). It is always a pleasure to meet with those in our community who are willing to volunteer and give to the community. We had a quick drive around the farm and a look at some of our native bee hives to finish off the morning.
