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.
Things are a little different today as our weekly update is by Mrs Romance! We celebrate the Yes vote – a step towards marriage equality – and our first Christmas party of the season. The key to working well with your partner is to play to your strengths. That’s why you hear more from Jim … Read more
I must admit I got pretty excited at the creating of this post. But then I always get excited about visiting distilleries and writing about them. And that’s exactly what happened last weekend. We were invited by our dear friend Kathleen Davies, founder of Nip of Courage, to come with her down to Corowa, a little town … Read more
I really don’t know where this year’s gone. It feels like about a week ago that January was just over, and now it’s November and we’re staring down the barrel of Christmas. But we looked back at a few of our IG Editions over this last year and we realised that we’ve actually done quite a … Read more
OK, so ‘500 reasons’ might be pushing it a bit. But the reasons why Mrs Romance and I love visiting Adelaide are so good – we have so much fun there – it feels like we have 100 times that many. Our friends, the food, the wine, the festivals and the beach. Multiplied by 100. So … Read more
What an exciting week it’s been! With an amazing Aussie craft beer festival, a lovely drop of Champagne and a travel awards night, we’ve had plenty to do. As a result, we’ve got plenty to talk about too, so here goes! Hope you enjoy this IG Edition Jim & Christina xx Mrs Romance loves exploring … Read more
We’ve stayed Sydneyside this week and explored more of our back yard. There’s so much going on in Sydney at the moment – surely this means the end of winter? We’ve had some strange kind of false starts recently all over the world. My mum and dad in the UK are preparing for a mini … Read more
It’s definitely springtime here in Sydney. The city’s really opening up, people are getting out and about more and things are starting to happen. The Noodle Markets, Oktoberfest, wine festivals… it’s a great time to be in and around Sydney. This week we’re out and about too with a stay-cation in the city – we … Read more
We’re pretty darn happy this week – it’s been an all-out Italian fest. And you know how much we love all things Italy. In this week’s IG Edition, we have a test drive of the menu for Festival of Nonna – a celebration in Sydney and Melbourne of meals the way Nonna makes them. Also … Read more
If you’ve been reading us for a while and you get our weekly emails I send out, you’ll probably already know it was our anniversary recently. We tend to go a little bit crazy around this time of year – maybe because this is around the time we first met, which was a pretty crazy time … Read more
What a wild and wonderful week it’s been. We’ve got all sorts this IG Edition: sunny walks along the Sydney coast, gin-filled evenings with 5th-generation distillers, visitors from interstate, murder fanatics, cigars, bars and pizzas! I love weeks like these; when you never really know what’s coming up next. We hope this IG Ed keeps … Read more
