Oh the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful, and since we’ve got no place to go, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. Alas, the aforementioned Sammy Cash lyrics do not describe most parts of Australia. Sydney winters are never like that, and I for one would adore a frightful…
Ah, holidays. No other word makes my heart beat faster or makes me heady with joy and a feeling of pure wanderlust. But then, another word, perhaps you’d call it the arch nemesis of travel and holidays, brings me out of my reverie and makes me sweat with anxiety. That word my friends, is money. That…
Sydney, Australia. The city of blonde shaggy haired beach babes with taut, tanned bods. The city where sparkling tanzanite waters lap gleefully under the strong sturdy mothership of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The city with plenty of unique restaurants, rockin’ bars, stunning beaches and cultural charm. There are some places you know that you just have to visit when…
Hard work and dedication really does pay off, my loyal foodies and travellers. Whilst I haven’t posted on E&T in a while, it’s for a good reason.

There’s old clothes (erm, we meanvintage), artwork, zines, bric-a-brac, jewellery, pottery, food, music, books and so much more. Trust us, going to the markets and returning with something…
Lately on my Facebook feed I’ve been inundated with images of my friends catching the sun in Greece, strutting the cobble-stoned streets in Italy and eating their way through crepes and croissants in Paris. And I’m sad. Really guys, I’m sad. I’m itching to get away again, to explore life and this beautiful Earth of which…
Story time: When I went to London in December 2011, I had one of the greatest food experiences of my life. My friend had told me that I absolutely had to go to Portobello Road and buy a red velvet cupcake from the Hummingbird Bakery. I originally thought, ‘if I get there I get there, if…
The Sydney Harbour Bridge is one of Australia’s most well-known gems, a historical beauty which brings people flocking from all around the world to see and experience.
