Today, just for a change, we walked. New York is so diverse that walking down a couple of streets can make you feel you’re in a different city altogether. I love that. You can’t get bored here. Chinatown… … downtown… and across the Brooklyn bridge… (look I’m here too… do you always find that you’re …
Just pictures because I’m sooooo tired I could fall asleep mid sentence if I tried writing anything… Walking, Central Park, walking, The Met, walking walking walking, food and walking, 5th Avenue, walking… We had a fantastic first day. We walked for miles. We love this place. SaveSave
…and we’re here… the weather is not playing ‘ball’ (joke? ball? baseball? no? just me?) and the traffic was horrid, but who cares. And we’ve already been through the ‘phone left in the taxi’ excitement.’ (all sorted, just don’t ask). We’re unpacking than heading for a burger… because when in Rome and all that… SaveSave

I could have started this post by telling you I had a very relaxing start of the day at the hairdresser drinking coffee and reading magazines… but my day actually began with racing the school bus to school to drop off No 3’s English homework which he’d forgot to pack. That’s it. The boys have …
(Useless fact: I can’t pronounce the word ‘literature’ properly, my tongue gets totally twisted) ANYWAY… the my favourite festival of the whole year is in town and it’s brilliant as usual… If you get the chance do go… even if it’s just to have lunch at the many food trucks or grab a coffee and …
I’m having one of those weeks. I’m also worried that this is not actually ‘one of those weeks’ but just a regular week from now on. Scary prospect. I made a cottage pie last night and tonight I’m going to scoff the left-overs. I just thought you should know. Since last Saturday I’ve attended three …
Houston we have a problem. It’s the scarves. There’s too many. I did a half Mary Kondo… I collected them all and dumped the big pile on the table Quite a frightening sight to be honest, things had obviously gone completely out of hand, but with the help of a few baskets and a rubbish …
while you're ahead...
