Brisbane, a distillery road trip and the capital of Australia

As you probably know, we love travelling. It’s the best. So when Mrs Romance turned to me the other day looking all wistful and pointed out we hadn’t been anywhere all year, it came as a bit of a shock. It’s true, we hadn’t been overseas together all year, but what we did realise was … Read more

A choc dinner, San Diego rooftop bars and a fishing party with a difference

The week’s really zipped by to the point where I’ve only just realised – 2 days late – that it’s November already! I’ve got a feeling it’s going to be Christmas way too soon and I’ll be doing my gift shopping on Christmas Eve as usual. Anyway, stay in the moment, stay in the moment. … Read more

A fine wine, a speaking gig and Melbourne gets its little blog bigged

Last week was just like my mum: short but sweet! It was also incredibly full… which doesn’t really work with my mum analogy anymore.

It has meant we’ve been busier than ever on Instagram … Read more

The big move

What a strange week it’s been. We’ve finally handed the keys over to our old apartment in so it’s goodbye to Surry Hills. This is our last sunset from this view. We’ve got mixed emotions about leaving this spot. It’s been an incredible place to live; we’ve had some amazing times here. Parties, meals, visitors, … Read more

A bumper breakfast and a Hunter Valley revelation

You know when you get those weeks that don’t seem to be quite real in how fast they’ve gone? That was last week. It’s been bananas. Thankfully, we love bananas so we’ve kind of enjoyed all that’s been going on. You might remember we went to Marysville in regional Victoria the week before. Well, this … Read more
