There have been mutterings of a backyard pizza shop in Kingston for years now. Intriguing tales of a dedicated family producing fine wood-fire pizza from their house had travelled across Canberra. We have discovered that yes indeed, these people do exist and their pizza is delicious.

One of the hard things about writing about restaurants is that you want to be very careful that you never over-state something. If you rate something too highly you can effect your credibility and really it leaves you nowhere to go should you find something better.
So let me word this very delicately... I freakin love the crap out of Coo!

It’s still light enough to enjoy a beer in the sun after work, so one thing is clear – summer is upon us. But that’s not the only thing that we’ve been waiting for, the amazing Renaissance exhibition has finally arrived at the National Gallery of Australia and the Verve Clicquot Sculpture Bar has reopened. There’s so much going on in this crazy town, we just can’t contain ourselves.
To celebrate we are running a competition. The prize? Two tickets to the Renaissance exhibition and a bottle of Verve Clicquot care of our wonderful friends at the Sculpture Bar. Imagine viewing the classics such as Raphael, Botticelli, Bellini and Titian then ducking out to the fabulous sculpture garden to sip champagne and chill out to some killer beats by local DJs. Belissimo!!!

A Bite To Eat at Chifley shops is a bit of a Canberra institution, it’s been around for years. It has changed hands over time but the quintessentially vintage feel remains strong and it is like something you would find in Melbourne. It is jam-packed with mismatched vintage furniture which makes you feel like you’ve stepped into someone’s lounge room. It is extremely welcoming and you immediately feel comfortable.

The weather’s warming up, and I’m beginning to feel a bit excited about the arrival of summer. Last summer was a massive wash out so I have decided to maximise the good times by preparing a summer bucket list.

It was Halloween recently. I love Halloween, you get to dress up, eat sweets, have parties - I could care less that it is 'traditionally a North American Holiday'. That said, I was amazed by the number of Scrooges (is that still what you call it with Halloween?) I came across that refuse to participate. Whether it was giving candy to children or dressing up and getting together with friends they insisted it was not an Australian holiday and they would have no part of it. It's funny though how when it comes to Oktoberfest those same people seem to quickly lose their aversion to traditionally foreign holidays...
