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.
This past week, we’ve hit the southern Italian roads hard and have toured around as much of the tip of Italy’s stiletto as possible. You might have heard that the roads around the southeastern peninsula of Puglia are crazy, dangerous and terrifying. They’re not. In fact, after you’ve been behind the wheel for a little … Read more
So much has happened this last week it feels more like it’s been a month. Since reuniting in Italy’s beautiful southeastern region of Puglia, Mrs Romance and I have done a lot of exploring on foot. In fact if our iPhones’ pedometers are to be trusted in any way, we’ve clocked up over 80km in … Read more
It feels like we just arrived on our trip here to Europe, but already it’s been close to a month since we left Sydney’s wintering shores. And it looks like we timed our departure perfectly; the cold, wind and rain we’ve heard hitting the southeastern coast of Australia doesn’t sound like fun at all. Meanwhile … Read more
It’s hard to believe how fast time is going. We’ve already been in the UK for two and half weeks already – Mrs Romance has even left for Italy in fact. On one hand it feels like we’ve only just got here and on the other we’ve already done quite a lot. Thankfully we’ve got … Read more
Our second week in England has flown by. It’s been pretty much the dream start to the trip; relaxing but busy at the same time. And the weather has been a massive bonus too. The sun has hardly stopped shining, so we’ve been able to explore a lot of the beautiful English countryside we’ve both … Read more
It feels like ages since Mrs Romance and I have been northside. We worked it out that it has in fact been about 4 and a half years since we were both here in Europe together. This marks the start of an epic trip across the continent we’ve been looking forward to for ages. And … Read more
I’m finding it very hard to get my head around the fact that the next time I write our IG Edition, we’ll be in a different hemisphere. Mrs Romance and I are heading back to the UK for a couple of months… tomorrow! It’s been so long since we’ve both been back, plus we’ve got … Read more
I secretly love birthdays… well, it’s not much of a secret now I suppose. But I do. I pretend I don’t care if it’s my birthday or not, play it cool. But I do care. I think it’sMrs Romance’s doing. She loves birthdays more than anything – even more than Christmas. And that’s not limited … Read more
We’ve had a very complicated week here at Romance HQ – and I think that’s pretty well reflected in the title of this week’s IG Edition. Lots happening and nothing really connected to anything else. A real scrambled egg of a week. The plus side to that is that scrambled eggs are delicious. We’re also … Read more
Last week was the last of a run of 4-day weeks for Australia and New Zealand. Easter then Anzac Day really made for a lovely few weeks. We’re all reeling from the prospect of working 5 days for the next month or so… in fact, New South Wales doesn’t have another public holiday now until… … Read more
