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.

Things are really speeding up on our trip now as we come to the last couple of weeks of being in the UK. In fact, we’re so busy, we’ve had to split this week’s Weekly Edition into two bits. You’ll find part one on Cheshire and the Lake District here, but either side of our

We’re six weeks into our UK and Europe trip, so we’ve decided it’s time to keep things fairly close to home. When we’re travelling for longer periods of time, Christina and I have to watch for burn out. It can happen so easily, and all it takes is budgeting some time to relax and not
