While we love spending time in the countryside here in England, we also love being in the city. This week I headed into London and found myself in a mini school reunion. My old school friends share my love of travel and are now living across the world. One of my best friends now calls … Read more
What a whirlwind, packed out week we’ve had. The past 7 days have flown by – perhaps because so much cool stuff has happened. From a harbourside wine-tasting with Grant Burge’s master winemaker to a special lunch at Bennelong Restaurant in the Opera House – and then there’s Vivid Sydney and the fact we’re now … Read more
Thanks to Easter and its extra long weekend, Christina and I were nowhere near ready when we boarded our flight to San Francisco. But after a hasty packing session and a worryingly traffic-jammed taxi ride to the airport, we made it. We’re now at our friends’ place in the beautiful Marina District of San Fran … Read more
From this week’s IG Edition, you might be fooled into thinking we’ve been quite sociable. Dinner (and a restaurant recommendation) in Glebe with a friend, a birthday party out at Breakfast Point, an event at the Grounds of Alexandria with L’Oreal and a party on Cockatoo Island for the launch of a cool new hotel … Read more
Things are getting pretty exciting here! We’re just putting some final touches on our travel plans for our next big trip. We’ve had plans to be in Europe over May (for my birthday) for a while, but we’ve decided to try and incorporate some North American travel in there too. And seeing as how cheap … Read more
I must admit, things have been pretty quiet round here since our friends’ dog Indi went back home after their Japanese holiday. If you’ve ever had to pet-sit, you’ll know what I mean. Even now – a week later – we’re still looking round wondering where the dog’s gone. However, it has meant we haven’t … Read more
I don’t know about you, but this has probably been one of the most relaxed Januarys we’ve had in ages. Strangely enough though, we’ve been pretty busy. And as the month speeds headlong towards February, it’s not looking like 2018 is going to be all that quiet at any point. This week’s Edition sees the … Read more
Summer is really coming on here in Sydney. The sky’s a lot clearer than last week and a prolonged heat wave is on the horizon. I don’t know if this has had any more of an impact on how much our furry house guest – Indi the English Staffordshire Bull Terrier – sleeps, but she’s … Read more
It’s been one of those rare peaceful starts to the year for us. Rare indeed. But since starting back in the office, our inboxes have stayed mercifully unpeppered, our phones have been reasonably quiet and our social commitments relatively undisturbed. I’ve got a feeling this could well be the calm before the shitstorm, but we’re … Read more
And like that, it was all over. As we force the box of decorations box back into storage for another year and the last of the pine needles gets sucked up the vacuum cleaner, we reflect on the Christmas and NYE just gone. Early January is always a funny time of year, isn’t it? Hard … Read more
