50. Bangalow, in the Byron Shire, Northern NSW, Australia. A perfect weekend escape.

Hello there, today is an unusual episode because I have left Lyle at home and have a special guest host. I wonder who that could be?? Today my guest host and I will be sharing all about a “girl's” weekend the two of us had in the hinterland of the Byron Shire in the cute little village of Bangalow. Ok ok, I'll tell you who the guest host is - it is Mikaela from Easy Family Adventures who is actually my beautiful daughter – Miki. We try and have a mother-daughter weekend once a year together, but it has been a little difficult the last couple years. We chose Bangalow for our weekend for quite a few reasons – which we share in the podcast and I’m sure you will agree it was a great decision. We went on adventures into national parks, on very narrow windy roads to the top of a 100m gorge and waterfall. We explored the local village and many of the cafes, bars and restaurants and the famous Bangalow markets. It is a stunning part of NSW and only 15 minutes from the famous Byron Bay – so the

20 Divin #51 : Pierre Trichet, le champagne taillé main

C’est lors d’une dégustation organisée par François Surget , œnologue et caviste parisien bien connu de nos auditeurs, que j’ai découvert les champagnes d’un vigneron indépendant bourré de talents : Pierre Trichet. Issu d’une famille de viticulteurs, par sa grand-mère qui démarra l’exploitation viticole au lendemain de la seconde guerre mondiale puis par ses parents qui reprirent l’affaire avant de se lancer dans le champagne au début des années 70, Pierre Trichet est à la tête de cette maison de champagne depuis 1986 et n’a cessé de créer des cuvées « taillées main » . Il m’a reçu en décembre dernier dans son village de Trois-Puits, classé Grand Cru, au Sud de Reims pour nous présenter ses cuvées et sa démarche éco-responsable . A écouter sans modération 🎧 !

49. Port Arthur, Tasmania, Australia. The final part of our road trip doing the Lap of Tasmania where we visit the Historic Convict Site of Port Arthur, Tasmania, Australia.

This is the final part of our road trip doing the lap of Tasmania. Wow what a trip it was! In this episode we tell you all about the most visited tourist attraction in Tasmania – the Port Arthur historic convict site. This was one of the harshest convict penal colonies in all of Australia. We take you all around this world heritage site. We go through the buildings that housed all the prisoners, the asylum, the guard towers and the commandant’s house that overlooks the whole site and the town with its gardens, houses and churches that are all part of the site. We share the lovely and very convenient place where we stayed and how we came to have the biggest oysters of the whole trip – thanks Lyle. You will hear just how indulgent I was at the lavender farm with its 16,000 lavender plants – I think I must have consumed at least a whole plant myself. We tell you how nervous we were (or I was) on our way to a gin distillery as the trees got taller and road became narrower. Finally, we shar
