Country hikes, curries and the Italian coast

It’s hard to believe how fast time is going. We’ve already been in the UK for two and half weeks already – Mrs Romance has even left for Italy in fact. On one hand it feels like we’ve only just got here and on the other we’ve already done quite a lot. Thankfully we’ve got … Read more

Horses, Constable and the horror of London Bridge

Our second week in England has flown by. It’s been pretty much the dream start to the trip; relaxing but busy at the same time. And the weather has been a massive bonus too. The sun has hardly stopped shining, so we’ve been able to explore a lot of the beautiful English countryside we’ve both … Read more

A video workshop, a Japanese feast and Sydney Fashion Week begins

I’m finding it very hard to get my head around the fact that the next time I write our IG Edition, we’ll be in a different hemisphere. Mrs Romance and I are heading back to the UK for a couple of months… tomorrow! It’s been so long since we’ve both been back, plus we’ve got … Read more

Mrs Romance talks Gen Z, a potato bake mutant and lunch in First Class

We’ve had a very complicated week here at Romance HQ – and I think that’s pretty well reflected in the title of this week’s IG Edition. Lots happening and nothing really connected to anything else. A real scrambled egg of a week. The plus side to that is that scrambled eggs are delicious. We’re also … Read more

Freaky rainbows, terrible paintings and a night of cheese

Last week was the last of a run of 4-day weeks for Australia and New Zealand. Easter then Anzac Day really made for a lovely few weeks. We’re all reeling from the prospect of working 5 days for the next month or so… in fact, New South Wales doesn’t have another public holiday now until… … Read more

The hipster Indian, the Cottage reborn and the wedding 20 years late

We’ve been enjoying a whole string of short weeks here in Australia. Easter might seem like a lifetime ago, but here in Oz and New Zealand we also have Anzac Day. It’s a public holiday that celebrates and remembers our braved servicemen and women who have sacrificed their lives for our liberty over the years. … Read more

A bang-up brunch, an Easter Show pig frenzy and a world-class martini

This has to be one of the best times of year in Sydney. That time between summer and winter – you can’t really call it autumn here because it’s still to warm and dry… usually. The sky’s often got this amazing blue colour to it and the summer crowds have dropped off. Plus it’s not … Read more

AFHA red carpet, a celebrity dinner and the Sydney Royal Easter Show begins

It seems to have taken 2017 a while to get started, I have to say. But deary me, now it’s under way, this thing’s out of control. We’ve got about 6 weeks now before we leave for a 2-month trip to Europe and there are still so many things up in the air… and it’s … Read more
