Flavour Of The Month (FOTM) is our nod to old-school blogging days. We’re sharing a taste – a ‘flavour’ if you will – of what’s happened in the month just gone.
Why do we do this?
There are a few reasons actually. First and foremost, we like to be able to google our lives. All too often, Christina has asked me when we did something and all I’ve had to do is search Mr & Mrs.
But we also love writing about things that either don’t really fit anywhere else or that isn’t quite a big enough story to have its own stand-alone article.
Best of all, we love sharing important moments of our lives here, so you get a real flavour of what’s happening with us in these posts.
At last, the British summer has arrived. And it looks like it’s making up for lost time. A gift from the Sahara has sent Europe into a big mad heatwave. Hot days have coincided with our friends Clare and Dave heading to Greece for a week. So meanwhile we’re looking after their two gorgeous dogs … Read more
It’s almost worrying how easily we’ve settled back in here in the UK. We were here less a year ago, which makes it easier, but I don’t think that’s got anything to do with it. England in the late spring and early summer is a lovely place to be. We’ve spent this week catching up … Read more
This will be our last Weekly Edition from Sydney for a little while – we’re swapping the southern hemisphere winter for the European summer! We’ve only just got back from our amazing trip to New Zealand and we’re off again – this time for over 2 months! Today’s Weekly Edition covers our last couple of … Read more
Travelling through the North Island of New Zealand is a much-underrated experience. Places like the beautiful Waikato and Bay of Plenty regions in the North Island offer so much. From cosmopolitan cities and geothermal spas to sweeping countryside and exciting cave adventures, there’s a wealth of things to experience in the North Island. And let’s … Read more
In our latest Weekly Edition, we’re sharing news on one of the best festivals I’ve ever heard of: a month-long pie celebration. Sounds like a dream come true, doesn’t it? We’re also checking out a couple of drinking spots in Sydney’s Inner West and we’re plied with vodka and asked travel questions in a podcast … Read more
It’s funny to think that this time last year, Christina and I were in Croatia celebrating with my family. Perhaps that’s what has pushed us to look seriously about our travel plans for the rest of the year. We’ve finally firmed up plans for a return visit to Europe next month, and we’ve got a … Read more
As the Sydney autumn pushes on, we’re starting to solidify our travel plans before the chill of winter sets in. Visitors to Australia often don’t realise it can get a bit nippy over the winter months. Even worse, they forget that while the northern hemisphere is basking in its summer, down here it’s the other … Read more
I think the best thing about life is how weird it can be. You never know what the new day will bring. This past week is the perfect example of that. This Weekly Edition is quite the medley. From the romance and elegance of a beachfront wedding to the homely opulence of a new Greek … Read more
Everyone loves a long weekend. And in Australia and New Zealand last week, the dates all lined up so that the Anzac Day public holiday fell in the same week as Easter Monday. It meant savvy employees could have 10 days off work at the cost of just three days of annual leave. To celebrate … Read more
Even though Easter makes for a short week, we’ve got a lot to tell you in this Weekly Edition. From outlandish black-tie awards evenings and fascinating conferences on travelling India to delicious Middle Eastern dinners and Argentinian wine celebrations at a new bistro… it’s all here! We hope you enjoy this Weekly Edition. Cheers – … Read more
