We have been spoilt with what one could argue is more than our fair share of quite pleasant winter weather in Perth this year. Sure there’s been rain and a few storms that haven’t been entirely pleasant, but by some stroke of luck there’s been more than a few weekends in there when the sun […]

I grew up in Maylands. Loved it. Right near the river, a quick train ride to the city, all in all not a bad spot. I don’t live in Maylands any more, but in recent years it’s been so wonderful to see all the lovely little cafes and cute delis and bakeries pop up along […]

There’s no two ways about it, Joondalup isn’t that close to my house. I mean, ok, it’s not that far but it feels a bit out of the way, so when a place was recommended to GG by a nice, young fellow he works with that was in Joondalup I was a little dubious. But apparently it […]

Pizza and weekends just seem to make good sense together. All the more when you have a Scoopon voucher in tow for the bargain price of $19 and you are able to order Two Large Gourmet Pizzas, Homemade Garlic Bread and 1.25L Soft Drink from a place advertised as Winner of Best Pizzas in WA! Enter […]

There was a lot of running around to do on Saturday in the downhill slide to a particularly big day later in the year for GG and myself. So we applied ourselves to ticking a few boxes on the list of little jobs that actually seems to be getting longer than shorter at this stage. […]

It’s always nice when someone you know has a good experience at a place and then invites you to head along with them to relive the magic. Well new magic for you and relived magic for them. Such was the invitation that GG and I received to try out Lamont’s Wine Store in Cottesloe with […]

I’ve read numerous articles about it and I can’t argue with what’s I’ve seen. It’s Viva la Revolution – there’s a been a steady wave of Frenchy French influence sweeping through the West. And I’ve had no complaints to date. I’d thoroughly enjoyed my visits to Petite Mort , was enamoured with the bistro style […]

Friday night marked the start of the WA Day Long Weekend. Good times and what better way to celebrate a 3-day break than with a dinner out with my handsome fellow. So we were booked in for a dinner at one of the fancy new establishments on the terrace – the Heritage Brasserie. I was […]

For me it’s just some kind of wonderful to know that you are booked in somewhere new and exciting for lunch. Even if it’s a work/businessy affair I tell you what, the morning just flies by when you know that come lunch time you’ll have a glass of something white in hand and the heady […]

It had been a long time, way too long since I’d last had a big bowl of beautiful ramen. In recent years, I’ve enjoyed the chilli chicken ramen from Wagamamas when I’d needed a fix, but I felt like venturing somewhere new and on a friend’s suggestion we decided to meet at Banzai Matsu Sushi in […]
