High tea is an indulgently lovely way to spend a few leisurely hours, chatting with great friends while sipping tea and enjoying an elegant tower of sweets and savouries. Throw in free flowing sparkling and celebrity chef and Dilmah ambassador Peter Kuruvita and you’ve got yourself a very special afternoon ahead. I was recently invited […]

Years ago GG and I decided we were an uber cultured pair and booked ourselves in for a night at the theatre to see Cyrano de Bergerac. Oh yes tres cultured! Only joking, but before we went to the show we went to the Globe Restaurant at the Parmelia Hilton for dinner. And I have […]

This won’t come as earth shattering news to many but in case you didn’t know, I’m quite the fan of eating out in Perth. I know, I know, not exactly a shocking revelation. And whilst it’s a lovely experience to pick a place and head out for a delicious meal with your special someone, your […]

The Stables Bar has probably been open close to a year… I think. Maybe it hasn’t been that long, but it has long been on my list of places I wanted to go and I had just never got around to. Thankfully though I finally made it there last weekend and it was wonderful! It was […]

The Swan Valley is a stunning part of Western Australia and for those who live in Perth, it’s literally right on our door step! An abundance of amazing wineries, brilliant restaurants and cafes, a range of different gourmet producers and also a Golf Resort that has long been part of the Swan Valley landscape. The […]

GG and I have been fortunate enough now to visit the US twice. On both trips we found ourself at a place called Whole Food Markets on the nights when we couldn’t be bothered heading out for dinner or when we had an early flight and needed to pack a breakfast. Wholefood Markets are amazing […]
