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.
In spite of Christina and I doing our best to lose all the travel weight our bodies have discovered since April, this week has been pretty food heavy. Not that I’m complaining. These are some of the most fun kilos I’ve ever gained, but this week has been a bit of a dead rubber in … Read more
Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water… yup! I’ve got to repack and head back to the airport! Jim has relinquished the reins on our Weekly Edition this week so I can tell you all about my (semi-)solo time down in the beautiful city of Melbourne. We haven’t been back … Read more
There’s always a danger when you come home from a trip of post-holiday blues setting in. Couple that with a hefty case of jetlag and the thought of going back to work – it’s not a happy recipe. We’ve just got back from an amazing 7-week trip to Europe, and while it’s lovely to be … Read more
Isn’t travel interesting? No matter how long you’re away for – the structure is always the same. Whether it’s a week, a year or – like us now: 7 weeks. You start with being crazily busy, like our first week away this trip where we went to Italy for a wedding and ended up travelling … Read more
Of course, everyone’s heard of London, but not everyone knows St Albans. It’s a beautiful historic town just north of London, and in this Weekly Edition we visit both. So whilst catching up with a host of friends, we get a chance to check out some of the oldest parts of England. And by the … Read more
One thing we love about travelling around the UK – apart from seeing family and friends – is seeing the different counties. Each one (there are 48 counties just in England) has a completely different feel and history to it. And in this Weekly Edition, we’re visiting four of them. Millions of people visit the … Read more
Lake Iseo – our previous destination – and the beautiful wedding our friends had was a hard act to follow, but I think where we are in this Weekly Edition is a pretty good follow-up. We’re still amongst the Italian lakes and have finally come back to Lake Como. It’s been five long years since … Read more
Our feet have hardly touched the ground in England before we’re on the road again. We’re now in Italy – in the little town of Bergamo north of Milan. It’s a part of Italy we haven’t been to before, so – even though we’re only here for a night – we’re keen to get as much … Read more
It doesn’t feel like we’ve been back in Sydney all that long (probably because we haven’t!) but it’s time for us to get moving again. We’re heading north again back to Europe. This trip will only be a short 5 or 6 weeks though – nothing like the massive 15 weeks we were here earlier … Read more
This past week seems to have dashed by like it was chased by a cheetah. It’s probably because of that terrifying mix of lots of things going on plus last-minute planning for our next overseas trip. This week – today in fact – Christina and I are flying back to Europe for our friends’ wedding, … Read more
