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

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

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

How to come home from a long journey

How to come home after a long journey - Mr & Mrs Romance

Coming home after a long trip – or even a 2-week holiday – can feel strange and alienating. Your home doesn’t feel quite as you remembered it, you’re tired from travelling back and all you can do is think about being back where you just left.

Our European summer adventures

European Summer - Amalfi Coast Italy

I love photography because of the memories it captures. But when those photos just remain on your hard drive, it’s easy to forget them. Looking back over the photographs we’ve taken over the past three months during our travels, my mind fills with the sights and memories of all that we’ve done. One of the … Read more

Doggy departures, Fish Market fun and a Ginuary swan song

IG Edition

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

A dog’s life, a pizza celebration and a curry fest

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

Christmas parties, puppies and a new local burger joint opens

And like that we’ve got only 2 full weekends before Christmas! WTF. I mentioned in last Friday’s newsletter last Friday’s newsletter that I liked December because it feels like a short month. I think I should probably take that back. This month is looking just a bit too short for me. But in spite of … Read more

A beer fest, a spoonful of Italy and a Soul Train birthday

In many ways, I love this time of year. Yes, the Christmas season means all the stress of Christmas shopping and organising plans for the festive season. But on the other hand it means summer’s almost here and you start to see invitations to all kinds of awesome parties. This week just gone definitely had … Read more
