Australia is now a year on from being seriously affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. And while we watch the world continue to battle with this terrible threat, Christina and I find ourselves thankfully distracted by a few happy dates to celebrate. In this Edition, we have some important anniversaries – both our own and other … Read more
With March picking up the slack, Sydney has finally patted summer on the bum and sent it to bed. Some people are sad when this happens, but I welcome it. Autumn in Sydney is probably my favourite season. It’s still warm in the day, but evenings cool down enough to warrant duvets, jackets, comfort food … Read more
Whenever Christina and I look for stories, we generally always try to create that mix of travel, food, culture, venues and lifestyle. I think we’ve hit the bullseye with this one. This Edition also has a lot of firsts for us. Our first (extended) visit to Wollongong, our first vegan yum cha, our first time … Read more
A good friend of ours maintains that the year really begins on the 1st of February. And I think this year has shown that perfectly. I mean, where has January gone? To make sure we haven’t forgotten the best bits though, here’s a quick highlights reel of the last few weeks. The start to 2021 … Read more
Crazy to think that Christmas is next week, isn’t it? After everything that’s gone on this year, it’s like Christmas is way too normal to be happening. I suppose it just goes to show that no matter what happens to us, time still troops on… but let’s not get too maudlin or philosophical. This time … Read more
And like that, we’re in December. Actually, it seems to have taken a century to get to the end of this horrendous year, but it looks like we’re finally getting there. And with a vaccine-coloured light at the end of the tunnel, I wonder if next year won’t end with things being completely back to … Read more
So somehow it’s got to November. Not that I’m complaining – this year’s been appalling. But as we stare down the barrel of the Christmas gun, things seem to finally look a little more settled – at least in Australia. We’ve been so lucky with Covid-19 that restaurants are opening back up, bar hops are … Read more
It feels like springtime has been a long time coming here in Sydney. I’ve almost forgotten what it feels like to go outside and be warm – let along wear shorts again. Thankfully though, the sun’s back and warmer weather awaits. As does me complaining about how hot I am no doubt! In this Edition, … Read more
Since international and interstate travel is off the cards for us, Christina and I have been finding other ways to entertain both ourselves and our bit-champing travel bugs. I’m sure you’re doing the same. In this Edition, we’re talking about a new home improvements project we’ve been working on (i.e. a fire pit for our … Read more
You know, being in the travel industry in any shape or form really isn’t a lot of fun at the moment. Of course, being in Sydney is a better place to be (for now) than many other places in the world with regards to Covid outbreaks, closed borders, travel bans and outright lockdown, but it … Read more
