Since we spent the 3 weeks over Christmas and the new year away from each other, Mrs Romance and I decided to take a bit of time out to reconnect this week just gone. Her sister has a little holiday house up the coast, and we managed to wriggle in a booking between other guests. … Read more
Have you ever wondered what it’d be like to spend Christmas away from your other half? Do you think it would it be the worst thing ever? Would you party all day and night? What would you miss the most? Here’s what happened to us. Convention tells us we should be spending the festive season … Read more
It doesn’t seem possible that another week’s gone by. And what a hot one it’s been here in Sydney. Thankfully It’s cooled down now towards the end of the week – even if that does mean cloudier skies. In fact the weather changed on one of the darkest days we’ve had for a while. My … Read more
We hope you enjoyed yesterday’s retro-Diary, catching up with our exploits from New Year’s Day till when I returned back to Mrs Romance and the Australian summer. I can’t believe it’s only been a week, and even weirder, that it’s already the second half of January. Why do I get the feeling this year’s going … Read more

So this is it. (Probably) our last Instagram Diary for the year! I’m heading back to the UK for 3 weeks leaving poor Mrs Romance alone with that awful Australian summer. I hope she’ll be able to deal with those endless days of hot sun, long days and some of the best excuses for a … Read more

It’s romantic. And that’s that. However, there’s nothing all that romantic about chasing round the shops hunting for that all-encompassing über-present minutes before you … Read more
Our week this week started out feeling very tranquil. This always worries me – especially around this time of year – as it usually means there’s a shitstorm coming.
