A few favourite moments from our long weekend in Melbourne. Good food, plenty of walking, a show, and a little shopping. ❤️🇦🇺 🍊🎄 My Jaffa Pavlova! Topped with whipped cream, fresh orange segments, candied orange slices, Terry's Chocolate Orange and a sweet tangy orange drizzle. Made especially for a Mid-Winter Christmas dinner! ✨ Our last few days in China were spent exploring vibrant Shanghai. From historic streets to glittering skylines, delicious food, and unforgettable memories, it was the perfect way to end an amazing adventure. 🇨🇳❤️ Three beautiful cities, each with its own charm. From the peaceful canals and gardens of Suzhou to the lakeside beauty of Wuxi and the stunning scenery of Hangzhou, every stop gave us something special to remember. Here are a few moments from the second leg of our travels in China. 🇨🇳 Our first four days in China have been spent exploring Beijing, and we've loved every minute. So much history, amazing sights, delicious food, and plenty of unforgettable memories already. 🇨🇳❤️ Happy birthday Nisha! 🎂 💖 Four wonderful days in Queenstown. Mountains, lakes, vineyards, autumn colours, good food, good wine, plenty of walking, and more ice cream than we probably needed. A perfect little getaway. ❤️ My sourdough bread — fresh, crusty, and topped with sesame seeds 🍞 Pistachio and White Chocolate Loaf Cake!
