Christina and I are strong believers that romance doesn’t have to rely on big gestures or extravagant gifts. In fact, it shouldn’t.
On this page, you’ll find how we find romance in the everyday with lifestyle stories, handy gift guides and a few things that bring us joy.

French Hotels, Japanese Dinners and We’re On TV… Again!
May 4, 2026
As Sydney edges its way into winter, we look back at April – the country’s shoulder month. It’s kinda cold, kinda sunny and generally unpredictable. It’s also home to more than its fair share of public holidays. But all this hasn’t slowed us down much! While we flutter between jumpers and jackets, and shorts and
A Southern Wedding, A Queen In Sydney and The King Returns
March 30, 2026
March by name, march by nature! This month has definitely flashed by, hasn’t it? It’s a shame that March has gone by so quickly – this is usually the best time to be in Sydney; days still warm, evenings slightly cooler, crowds are smaller, everyone’s back to work and school. And as is my MO
New Fish Market Tricks, New Central Coast Trips and the Greatest Martini Ever Made
March 2, 2026
So much for February being the short month of the year. It feels like these past 28 days have gone on forever. But now they’ve gone, I kinda miss them! We certainly packed in a lot this month and even managed to squeeze in a little R&R trip up north for a few days. As

Magazine Launches, Perth Trips and State of the Art Electric Cars
December 1, 2025
November’s a funny month, isn’t it. I think the word is ‘peroration’ – that final build-up to the finale. The opposite to the calm before a storm. Always the bridesmaid, never the bride, November does all the legwork for December and its fancy parties, but rarely gets its due credit. So here’s our attempt to
