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.
It’s been a busy but spectacular past couple of weeks for us at Romance HQ. As you may have seen, we’ve been exploring the beautiful Malaysian state of Sabah in northern Borneo. Because we’ve got so much to show you from our trip to the Land Below the Winds, we haven’t included the usual Travel … Read more
So that’s the Olympics over then. Another 4 years to wait for such an amazing sporting event… and for our TVs to be Shanghaied. The Olympics actually have a special place in our hearts. You see, it was during the Sydney Olympics that Mrs Romance and I met. So every 4 years, we’re reminded of … Read more
Well, it’s been a very quiet week for us here at Romance HQ. So quiet in fact that we haven’t really done anything worth putting on Instagram even! But don’t worry, this is definitely the calm before the storm. You see next week we’re off to explore part of Borneo, so brace yourself for an … Read more
So August, here we go! Yet another step closer to Christmas, which is a daunting yet fun thought. Unless you hate Christmas, in which case I’m sorry for the reminder. Since the last time we spoke, plenty’s been going on here at Romance HQ… though most of it’s been behind-the-scenes stuff that you probably wouldn’t … Read more
This past week has been far from ordinary for us. And what a way to celebrate the end of July too! We spent the latter half of last week exploring the best that Byron Bay has to offer. Just a few kilometres south of the Queensland border, this pearl of the New South Wales coastline has … Read more
As far as Sydney’s winter goes, we had a bit of everything last week. Bright, warm sunny days, freezing cold days, lashing rain and whipping winds… and to start the week this freak fog that descended over one particular part of the city. It’s another gentle reminder that summer’s still a while away. But with … Read more
It’s been a rough week internationally. The horrors of Nice and the Bastille Day truck attack, the bloody attempted coup in Turkey and the recent spate of gun violence in the States have left terrible scars. And that’s just the things we hear about in the news. These things that have happened, and that happen all … Read more
It’s been one of those week’s here are Romance HQ. A week that’s seemed to go on for ever and yet disappeared in a heartbeat. As I was looking back through the photos for this week’s IG Edition, I got a bit confused because I was sure that some of the images were for a different … Read more
So here it is: July. And the second half of 2016. How ridiculous. Can you believe the Olympics starts in a month? How can this be happening? And politically, things have really got strange. the UK doing its level best to get away from the EU, the US doing its best to give itself over … Read more
Winter’s really pitched in this week. We’ve been expecting it here in Sydney for a while, but the warm weather’s kept us hoping the chilly days wouldn’t come. Anyway, this week’s made us think about our trip to Asia recently – all those lovely warm days and balmy evenings. Keep your eye open over the rest … Read more
