Solo in Melbourne for baby showers, family time, and plenty of food and wine

Barwon Heads Torquay

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water… yup! I’ve got to repack and head back to the airport!  Jim has relinquished the reins on our Weekly Edition this week so I can tell you all about my (semi-)solo time down in the beautiful city of Melbourne. We haven’t been back … Read more

A glass of Orange – the perfect jetlag cure

Orange Wine Festival

There’s always a danger when you come home from a trip of post-holiday blues setting in. Couple that with a hefty case of jetlag and the thought of going back to work – it’s not a happy recipe. We’ve just got back from an amazing 7-week trip to Europe, and while it’s lovely to be … Read more

English country charm, Blenheim Palace elegance and a very early Christmas

Weekly Edition - Frinton-on-Sea

Isn’t travel interesting? No matter how long you’re away for – the structure is always the same. Whether it’s a week, a year or – like us now: 7 weeks. You start with being crazily busy, like our first week away this trip where we went to Italy for a wedding and ended up travelling … Read more

Which is older – St Albans or London?

London and St Albans

Of course, everyone’s heard of London, but not everyone knows St Albans. It’s a beautiful historic town just north of London, and in this Weekly Edition we visit both. So whilst catching up with a host of friends, we get a chance to check out some of the oldest parts of England. And by the … Read more

A Norfolk beach, a Suffolk snack, a Sussex catch-up and an Essex birthday bash

Lake Como, Lake Lugano and a very special hotel

Lake Como Bellagio Italy

Lake Iseo – our previous destination – and the beautiful wedding our friends had was a hard act to follow, but I think where we are in this Weekly Edition is a pretty good follow-up. We’re still amongst the Italian lakes and have finally come back to Lake Como. It’s been five long years since … Read more

To Italy for love – Bergamo, Lake Iseo and a Swedish wedding

Lake Iseo Italy

Our feet have hardly touched the ground in England before we’re on the road again. We’re now in Italy – in the little town of Bergamo north of Milan. It’s a part of Italy we haven’t been to before, so – even though we’re only here for a night – we’re keen to get as much … Read more

A birthday, a fashion night and a brand new curry house

Mr & Mrs Romance - Weekly Edition

This past week seems to have dashed by like it was chased by a cheetah. It’s probably because of that terrifying mix of lots of things going on plus last-minute planning for our next overseas trip. This week – today in fact – Christina and I are flying back to Europe for our friends’ wedding, … Read more

A Thai dinner, an Italian lunch and a Mexican tequila finale

Winter’s long fingers seem to be stretching out indefinitely around the city’s throat. It doesn’t feel like Sydney will ever be warm again! So I decided to use this photo as our title shot to remind you what Sydney does have blue skies. It might not feel like it a the moment – especially with … Read more
