Consistency is a wonderful thing. And I suspect this is why Sandalford winery has long been one of my favourites in the Swan Valley. Granted that it perhaps cemented itself as a favourite all the more last year when GG and I had our reception there and they did such a stellar job, but whenever […]

So exciting when a new place opens up within a short drive from the office!! And such was the case last week when I heard that Bad Apples Bar had opened up on Riesley Street in Ardross 🙂 And I just couldn’t wait to visit when I saw their first facebook pics pop up and […]

Well how could I not be intrigued when I received an email from Frisky McFrisk asking me along for a visit to their fine establishment to hear a little more about the wonder that is Frisk. Small Bar. Located on Francis St in Northbridge, it occurred to me as I walked towards it earlier in […]

It can be quite lovely when an opportunity presents to visit somewhere new when you weren’t expecting it. Such was the opportunity last week when I went to a meeting in town with Boss B and he fancied a visit to Small Print Baker and Roastery, the newest addition to the ever impressive Brookfield Place […]

Christmas Day itself was just a touch under 40 degrees but I’m sure it was north of this figure further inland, for instance in the […]

My Nana hails from Germany and is a little partial to a visit to Elmar’s in the Swan Valley. So given I knew I wasn’t going to be able to see her on Christmas Day I planned for GG and I to take her for lunch at Elmar’s on the Sunday before. The weather was on […]

Tis the season to be jolly and heading out for a nice breakie before work on a Friday certainly fits the jolly bill in my book 🙂 Jacs was a place I had visited for lunch earlier in the year and loved and then also caught up with a friend for dinner. Both of those […]
