A weekend divided, a pizza night shared and a bar launch triple bill

So, did anyone get pranked over the weekend? Any April’s Fools out there? I’m glad to say I didn’t… as far as I know… starting to feel a bit paranoid now! What a strange way to start an IG Edition. Anyway, this week we’re talking about the fun Mrs Romance had in Port Stephens and … Read more

A curry fest, a new café and a cruise on a multi-million dollar super yacht

As you can probably see from this IG Edition’s title image, it’s been another week of wild weather here in Sydney. Thankfully we’ve had plenty to keep us busy, including a big night in with a couple of our best friends… but more about that in a minute. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be … Read more

A week of crazy skies, crazy friends and a crazy new field office

It’s been a pretty solid week here at Romance HQ. Plenty of work going on (including our little facelift on the site) and some excellent socialising too. We’re also still putting our itinerary together for our next big trip in May. We’re heading over to Europe for a couple of months to check out a … Read more

Okinawa ends, a new city brewery begins and a milestone for one of our favourite people

As our trip to Okinawa, Japan finished and we arrived home – almost as the zips on our suitcases opened to unpack – those good ol’ post-travel blues welled up in us. In my experience, the best way to fix those post-travel blues is quite simple: book another trip. I’d barely finished putting my luggage … Read more

This is what happens south of the border – our time in Melbourne, Australia

It’s always a confusing question when someone asks us if we’re travelling for business or pleasure. Because of what we do, it’s pretty much always a bit of both. This week’s IG Edition is mostly about our super-quick trip down to Melbourne to work of course, but also to see friends, family, new babies and … Read more

A garden of Eden, a bar of rooftops and a cruise of luxury

I know it’s the sign of poor conversation skills to start talking about the weather, but wtf is happening in Sydney at the minute? One moment it’s a million degrees, the next it’s cold, windy and raining so hard brollies are useless against it. And the weather’s timing’s been the worst too. Like the day … Read more

A Port Stephens reno, a Tim Tams-Messina collab and Nespresso launches vintage coffee

What a week it’s been! There’s been so much new stuff going on, my head’s still spinning. First off, we headed up to Port Stephens – a beautiful little beachside peninsular 2 and a half hours out of Sydney. Our plan was to help Mrs R’s sister renovate the new house they’ve bought there. I … Read more

Margaritas, martinis, rainbows and puppies… seriously? Give me a break!

You might be saddened to hear Mrs Romance and I have been quite sick since the start of the year… then again, you might not be! Anyway, we’ve battled on and it looks like we’re out of the worst of it. As a reward, the universe gifted us with a pretty awesome week. The title … Read more

A heat wave, the flu and The Aussie Tipple Co goes live

Happy New Y… oh yeah, that’s right. There’s only a week left of January. 2017’s not really that new anymore, is it? How did that happen? After a leisurely Christmas break, time has started doing is turbo thing again and once again it’s time for our IG Edition. One thing that’s made this week come … Read more
