A Christmas Poem… of sorts
‘Twas the night before Christmas and Santa’s a wreck… How to live in a world that’s politically correct?

(Please note Amber will say I’m on the cray cray spectrum – look at me being all teenager there). I digress, do not believe a word she says regarding me or my (Audrey’s) sanity.

It can lead to some interesting misunderstandings… Disclaimer: Unfortunately some of the “misunderstandings” are not totally PG.

Skate on the Bay and Sunflowers
Day 1 in the life of a Wine Blogger series I arrived on a sunny Monday afternoon and was whisked off to a beautiful restaurant called Skates on the Bay. Sitting on top of the water (stilts not sitting sitting), the huge glass windows overlooking the bay, the fresh smell of the sea air… I fell in love with San Francisco right there and then. … Continue reading Skate on the Bay and Sunflowers
