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.
Every year, the Sydney winter seems to take everyone by surprise. None of us seems to cope! I’ve heard it equated to childbirth—the way mothers will forget the pain and trauma of having a baby or they’d never do it again. Sydneysiders seem to be annually surprised when the city gets chilly. In spite of … Read more
We’ve got plenty to tell you about in this latest Edition. Rooftop bars and festivals of light (with corresponding cocktails of course), new and amazing experiences to have at Uluru, superb new Sydney gins, massive birthday partakings at a spirits festival (and a wine tasting tacked on too), lovely friends visiting who we haven’t seen … Read more
As the summer comes to its end, we usually expect things to quieten down in Sydney. But if anything, things have become even busier in the city. Huge art exhibitions like the Biennale are in town, new bars, new restaurants and even a dance-off comp (have you ever heard of ‘waacking’?) have kept us very … Read more
We’ve always said we travel for food! Driving seven hours south, almost to the border of NSW and Victoria, we’re off to the beautiful Sapphire Coast. About the halfway mark between Sydney and Melbourne, this region is home to some of the best oysters in the world! But it’s not just the oysters we’re making … Read more
It feels like it’s been ages since we’ve been out in the city and that there are just so many places and things to do that we haven’t heard of. So it was with an odd feeling of being a bit out of touch that we ventured into Sydney to check out a few things … Read more
It’s been a busy week or so for us, full of sporting events, trips to the Hunter Valley (I know, tough life, right) and hobnobbing with celebrities. But from all of this, we’ve got some excellent recommendations for you on Hunter Valley cellar door experiences to try, how to find places to stay in the … Read more

It’s been an exciting last few days for us, with Christina advancing along her pathway to Jiu Jitsu mastery, us meeting the Thai Ambassador over lunch at her residence, going to the Women’s World Cup games and a round of golf for everyone! We hope you enjoy this Edition Jim & Christina x We’re up … Read more
Is it me or does July always have a funny feel to it. It’s like the slow bit at the top of the hill before the rollercoaster plunges full speed into a big dip. That’s not to say the rest of the year’s a big dip–quite the contrary. More that this calm-before-the-storm always seems to … Read more
It’s fair to say that there are lots of wonderful perks to running a travel site. We get to see and do some amazing things all in the name of ‘work’. But when we were asked to be ambassadors for South Coast Experiences—an excellent company that curates some of the best things to do on … Read more
