1) What do people call you?
Ryan. Or the guy with the French Bulldog!

2) Espresso, cappuccino, latte or flat-white and why?

Ryan, in conversation…

3) What’s keeping you busy these days?
An exhibition of my paintings.
My dog.
Community Art Studio
Tai Chi
Drinking coffee (here of course).

VIP visit & time for a break… (31/08/2008)

September 7, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Doubleshot sibling, Ingy, and Trevor, came to doubleshot for the first time this weekend. Quite a celebration which took months in the making! Of course, the chance of bumping into Robinson Crusoe’s lead actor, Philip Winchester, a regular to doubleshot on his rare days off the set, was an added attraction. Missed this visit, but perhaps on the next…

Ingy and Trevor in the house!

Doubleshot VIPS getting into the vibe!

We both desperately need a break after an extremely busy last couple of weeks. Someone asked us if we ever imagined doubleshot would turn into this “wild animal” that it is, as popular as it has become… laugh!

Jessie & Aimee… some other “wild animals” of doubleshot!
