It’s a lunch I look forward to every year and this was to be the fifth time that GG and I had attended together. It is one of our favourite annual events and as fate would have it, this year it was held a month later than normal which aligned perfectly with GG and my […]

The Good Food and Wine Show is one of those events that I’ve always wanted to go to, but just never got around to. Strange because I am partial to both good food and good wine J Thankfully though the stars aligned this year. I was fortunate enough to receive a ticket from Devahasdin, so […]

For Christmas GG’s sister gave us a voucher to head along for a Speed Grazing Tour of the Swan Valley. It sounded interesting and the food element sounded right up our alley so I made a booking for what seemed like was way in the future, but soon enough April rolled around and it was […]

GG’s birthday is actually on March 18th so I knew when the Monday rolled around, which was the last day of our South West mini break, that I wanted to book in somewhere special for us. Now an incredibly special spot in the South West is Cape Lodge. In my mind, just wistfully wanting over […]

So we had spent some quality time touring the region during the day but then spent a leisurely afternoon enjoying Smith’s Beach Resort’s facilities (the movie channel may have been involved). After all this chillaxing we decided to extend this enjoyment into the evening with a visit to the new addition to the Lamont’s chain…. […]

Now the next two stops of our make your own foodie adventure – South West style – were two of the most popular on the trail. We’d actually heard from our Top Drop Tour tour guide that a sign of how busy the region was by how many cars were in the parking lot at […]

Now this news is unlikely to shock many but GG and I don’t mind the occasional glass of wine. And given we were spending quality time in a premium WA regiong we thought it best to book in a tour so that we could enjoy the experience of numerous different tastings together. So having put it […]

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 […]

Set up in Market Square Subiaco, the picturesque park with Subi Centro on one side and Subi Oval on the other, […]
