Christina and I are strong believers that romance doesn’t have to rely on big gestures or extravagant gifts. In fact, it shouldn’t.

And like that, we’re in December. Actually, it seems to have taken a century to get to the end of this horrendous year, but it looks like we’re finally getting there. And with a vaccine-coloured light at the end of the tunnel, I wonder if next year won’t end with things being completely back to

Not that I’m complaining – this year’s been appalling.  But as we stare down the barrel of the Christmas gun, things seem to finally look a little more settled – at least in Australia.

I think it’s safe to say we’re all jonesing to get away on a trip asap. I know that Christina and I are feeling the tug of the open road more than usual. This time of year we’re usually hiding  from winter’s chilly gaze in Europe, the States or Asia… sometimes all three! Of course,
