If you’re planning a trip around Illuminate Adelaide this year, here’s the full rundown, what to book first and what to save for a slow afternoon. I have a new favourite way to spend an evening in July, and it involves seven-metre glowing skeletons, an underwater world made of digital plankton and an enormous forest […] Read more…
Planning a trip to The Big Easy with kids? Here are some of the best annual family-friendly festivals in New Orleans to add to your itinerary. Famous for its vibrant culture, lively music, and mouthwatering cuisine, New Orleans is a city that knows how to throw a party, but it’s not all late-night jazz clubs […] Read more…
Halloween is lurking creepily around the corner. And whose fault is that? The Irish! The jolly green giant of a country that gave us leprechauns, U2 and whiskey. Not to mention Guinness, a plethora of uses for the potato, herds of dead-armed dancers and soul cakes. What I hadn’t realised until recently is that one […] Read more…
Something wicked this way comes. Yes, Halloween is on its way. And though once – Queen of Darkness though I am – I dismissed Halloween as an overly commercial American holiday and rolled my heavily-kohled eyes disparagingly in its general direction, I am a complete convert. My little ghouls on the other dismembered hand were […] Read more…
Take one sprawling landscaped garden planted with 6,000 trees and 600,000 shrubs. Add tranquil lakes, cascading waterfalls and a storybook garden inhabited by fabulous fairytale characters. Toss in more than two million Christmas lights, a self confessed Christmas tragic, her long suffering husband, their slightly nutty son and a wee girl who insists on donning sequins and wings because […] Read more…
So last night I polished my plastic sword, put on my least smelly tunic and cape and set off in our VW time machine for Terry Hills and the St Ives Medieval Faire Feast, with the King and Queen of St Ives. I wasn’t sure what to expect from my first medieval feast, but it wasn’t to […] Read more…
I didn’t even know about the Annual Tomato Festival Sydney but I’d heard about La Tomatina in Spain where everyone chucks tomatoes at each other. So when mum told me we were headed to a tomato festival in the Royal Botanic Gardens I was ready to put my swimming goggles and a helmet on so I get smashed with […] Read more…
Halloween is on it’s way and the kids are excited. They are so busy prepping for all the ghoulish excitement, they have decided to countdown to the nefarious night of nights with a monstrous movie marathon. All in the name of research, of course! So I’ve whipped them up a bunch of Creepy Crawly Cookies (recipe below) […] Read more…
You probably don’t realise the lengths Raffles is prepared to go to in order to find interesting people to interview for this blog! In this case, as the world’s best jousters prepare to converge on St Ives for Australia’s largest ever international jousting festival, he desperately wanted to chat with Sir Andrew McKinnon, the man […] Read more…
Kung Hei Fat Choy! The snake has slithered off and the horse has galloped in to greet the Chinese New Year. Giddy. Up! To be frank, I’m thinking there’s probably very little galloping involved and a lot more rocking, given this year’s horse is wooden. And by wooden I’m not comparing it to Keanu Reeve’s acting […] Read more…
A culturally curious Raffles has put in a request to celebrate Deepavali this year, no small task given we aren’t Hindu; it’s crossing cultural paths with Halloween and Dia de los Muertos and; more to the point, that I have NO freaking idea how. But in the spirit of my son’s cultural and religious edification […] Read more…
At Casa Eats World it’s time a to clean up the cobwebs and dig out our Mexican baubles for Dia de los Muertos, the centuries old Mexican tradition of honouring late loved ones. And by late, I don’t mean they missed the bus. On the Day of the Dead (or days, as it runs over several) […] Read more…
