7 OCTOBER - I'M GRATEFUL

BUT BELATEDLY.

SOMETIMES WE DON'T REALIZE WE ARE GRATEFUL UNTIL SOMETHING IS GONE.

I WENT INTO DESMOND & MOLLY JONES AT WOOLLOONGABBA TO GRAB SOME TAKE-AWAY LUNCH BECAUSE I WANTED SOMETHING SPECIAL AND KNEW THEY COULD BE COUNTED ON FOR GOURMET OFFERINGS.

TO CUT A LONG STORY SHORT - THE BUSINESS HAS BEEN SOLD AND THIS IS WHAT I ENDED UP WITH - FOR $21.50!

THE PHYSICALITY OF THE PLACE IS THE SAME, THE MENU IS THE SAME BUT IT'S LOST ITS HEART, ITS PASSION, ITS ATTENTION TO QUALITY.

IT TAKES MORE THAN BRICKS AND MOTAR TO MAKE A GOOD BUSINESS - IT'S THE PEOPLE AND PASSION BEHIND THE SCENES WHO MAKE A BUSINESS.

I'M NOW GRATEFUL TO WHAT WAS THERE BEFORE AND I WILL CHERISH THOSE MEMORIES.
