Afternoon tea at the Secret Garden

We finally got to go to the Secret Garden for Grandma's birthday tea. 

Lovely sandwiches, freshly made scones and cakes. All delicious. 

It would also have been Jon's Granny's birthday.  Happy birthday to both grandmas. xxx

First week at outset

My first week of a new job as full time EAS adviser at Outset UK based at the Maidstone studios - next office along from Jon!!

There's a lot to learn but it will be really interesting when I get into it. Wednesday was spent at an employment tribunal in Ashford which was fascinating to watch. 

Back home

Landed at 8:40 UK time after a slightly bumpy but quick flight to Hearhrow. 

We were all really tired having got little or no sleep on the plane. Clara and I picked up Alfie from the kennels while dad got milk for a cuppa.  Restful day of napping followed!!

Grand central station

After lunch and on our way to the Rockerfeller centre we took a detour to Grand Central Station which truly lives up to its name. 

Last day 😢

Breakfast in our lovely hotel lobby. And some FaceTime with Lol. We need to try and get him Yeezy 350 trainers from the adidas shop. 

Day 3 - Central Park

I'm Breakfast at the hotel this morning.  Yummy sandwich and croissants.

Subway to Central Park. Beautiful sunny day but very cold. Icy lakes which amused Cam and Clara as they kept throwing stones onto the ice to test its thickness. 

Bethesda fountain. Bow bridge. Alice in wonderland statue. 

Lunch at Uncles Jacks which was tasty and then onto the Rockefeller centre and up the Top of the Rock for more stunning views as the sunset. 

We finished off the day with a Broadway show. Matilda was good fun - Miss Trunchball stole it for me. Really funny

Day 2 - Empire State Building

In the afternoon we used our tickets to go up the Empire State building to see some great views of NYC

Dinner at TGI Fridays which was nice but expensive.
