Hot tea and a good book? Love this idea, hate this idea, or fall somewhere in between? Sipping hot tea while reading a print or ebook is a lifelong habit that I have no intention of breaking. It’s one of the ways I relax and unwind and escape into fictional worlds with satisfying happily-ever-after romantic […]

Each spring we hold a tulip festival called Floriade at Commonwealth Park overlooking Lake Burley Griffin from mid-September through to mid-October. A bit […]
