I started July in New York which was as wonderful as ever, continued with two average weeks, and finished with a week alone as Husband is away at a work trip. He’s off in South Africa seeing giraffes and elephants, whilst I’m sat feeling sorry for myself on the sofa. Hot, sweaty NYC New York … More July Things
We did a lot of walking during our 5 days in New York. A lot. But that is part of the reason why I enjoy the city so much. Once you get away from the insanity in Midtown, it becomes an entirely different trip. There was a bit of shopping – Husband had a spree … More New York in July – the everything else
We hadn’t aimed to eat at (mostly) entirely new places on this trip, it just happened by chance. We’d hoped to have at least one fancy meal but the timings didn’t work out, and it was too hot to eat a lot of food but I would 100% go back to every place we visited. … More New York in July – where we ate
Having established that New York in July is hot hot hot, you’d be forgiven for thinking that being a very pale cold weather addict, I wouldn’t want to do very much. In reality, we actually managed to pack loads into our short stay, and were out every night which is most unusual for our trips. … More New York in July – what we did
When I was in New York a couple of months ago, I scored tickets to the live taping of Samantha Bee and it was awesome. I would have loved to have seen John Oliver as well, but I was only there from Wednesday to Saturday and he films on Sunday so it was not meant … More Last Week Tonight with John Oliver – live taping!
I am not ashamed to admit that flying Virgin Atlantic Upper Class is one of the best holiday experiences I’ve ever had. We were incredibly fortunate to be in a position to upgrade both to New York and back, so were able to check out the view from an Airbus A330 and Boeing 787 Dreamliner (my … More Virgin Atlantic Upper Class
2017 has so far been the year of trips across the Atlantic – St Pete Beach, New York, Miami and this past week, back to New York again only this time with Husband. He felt a little jealous of my solo trip in February, so we took advantage of a Virgin Atlantic sale and booked … More New York isn’t New York without you, Love
Is it time for the second instalment of my monthly things already? But I’ve barely done anything all month! June has whizzed by, with my downtime spent mostly online researching my next holiday (New York, very imminently). So what else have I done (*scrolls through Instagram and my bank account…) My Garden At the end … More June Things
I hope that one day, I’m asked where’s the weirdest place I’ve watched a film (a common question), because after this week, I’ll be able to say in a sand filled room on the fourth floor of Liberty. I haven’t really got into the whole pop-up immersive cinema scene. I’ve seen friends get all dressed … More You really can’t dance here, man
A few months ago, Mum decided she want to treat me and my brother to a ‘do-nothing’ holiday, and asked my opinion on where we should go. The first place that came to mind was Surfside, Florida after falling in love with it last year. I knew my Mum would love it – she’s a … More Returning to Surfside, FL
