Okay, I feel kind of bad/disgusted by that title…   This past weekend was full of all kinds of adventures and was also a long weekend – ah the perks of being subject to the crown! We spent a lot of time getting Adam’s business closet finalized which included – surprise! – a trip to […]

One of the many necessities of living – anywhere – is knowing where to find your food. A convenient spot that we’ve found is literally 32 floors below us, the Woolworths grocery store.
