As you know, we welcomed a Shih Tzu puppy into our home this past summer. Gizmo has brightened our lives immensely in the midst of a gloomy couple years, and has quite successfully distracted me from the disappointment of still not being able to resume travelling. We’ve spent the last four months exploring dog-friendly places…

In August’s Life in Colour Photo Challenge, we are searching for shades of Red. One of the primary colours, red often indicates danger. It is pure energy, loud, demanding to be seen. Think of a red ladybird, a red rose, autumn leaves and a sunset. Passion. A heart.

Hi folks. I’ve been neglecting my travel/food blog and social media lately. This is why. Last week, we welcomed home our little Shih Tzu puppy, named Gizmo after the mogwai in the movie Gremlins. Gizmo loves to cuddle, bite at my feet, and sleep 18 hours per day. I’m pretty sure she knows her name,…
