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.
I’ve been Jonesing to get back to Chicago since 2013 – when we were there last. It feels like a lifetime ago. Finally, we’ve managed to organise ourselves enough to get back to the Windy City and I’m seriously excited. Last time we were here, Christina was at a conference, leaving me to my own … Read more
As we watch LA disappear into the distance from our plane windows, the thrill of visiting a new US city makes us a little less sad to be leaving. We’re heading for the very heart of the country – the bullseye of America: Kansas City, Missouri. Perhaps it’s the fascination of seeing the true Midwest … Read more
And we’re off again! This really has been a crazy month for us in terms of travel – not that we’re complaining. But with our very recent trip to South Africa only just over and now our plane to LA just about to board, by the end of the month we’ll have clocked up 13 … Read more
It’s amazing how quickly the body and mind can recover. We’ve been back in Australia for just a few days after an epic and extraordinary trip to South Africa, and now we’re off again! This time, we’re heading to the States to check out a new Business Class flight service, to explore some more of … Read more
Few words can express how excited we were to be travelling to South Africa. It’s been a place that’s sat on our travel bucket list for such a long time, it’s a wonder we haven’t been there before. The opportunity to see wild places like the Kalahari Desert has been on my mind ever since … Read more
As the departures gate makes its last call on September, we ready ourselves for an October so full of travel it’s kind of crazy. In a good way! With travel to Africa and the USA coming up, by the time October comes to an end, we’ll have taken almost 20 flights in just one month. … Read more
It’s been a week of wining and fine dining for us, and for good reason: we’re celebrating the anniversary of when we met! It’s been a long time since that day, but like anything good, it hasn’t felt like it. Timing has been perfect for our celebrations though. This week we’re drinking Hardy’s latest charred-oak … Read more
At long last, it looks like spring’s coming to Sydney. Temperatures are going up as is the humidity. Ordinarily, I hate humid weather, but the dry air over Sydney’s winter gives my wrinkles wrinkles! It also makes me even thirstier than normal. Thankfully, this week has been full of drinking. At one of our favourite … Read more
There’s nothing quite like hopping in the car and hitting the open road. This week, Christina and I went country, visiting a new part of regional New South Wales. We love exploring our own back yard, especially when it turns up so many pleasant surprises. The Hunter Valley town of Maitland might not be on … Read more
Don’t you love weeks that end up being full of great food, excellent people and fascinating stories? That’s how this week’s panned out. From a 16th birthday party full of laughs, yarns and superb donuts to a wine masterclass with world-class cheeses, industry scoops on cutting edge wine market trends and – of course – … Read more
