Oops, I’ve been so busy that I forgot to mention that we’re off to New York this afternoon, visiting friends over the weekend and then staying in the big city until next Thursday.
I can’t wait. I lived in Manhattan for six months back in the day when I worked in banking and I love the city to bits.
I’m going to try and fit in a field trip to Rare Device and other indie shops while I’m there (though will mostly have the Minx in tow so am not sure how much shopping I’m actually going to be able to do).
If you’ve got any other shop or restaurant recommendations for me then I’m all ears.
There is wifi where we’re staying, so hopefully blogging will continue.
“Remember, remember the Fifth of November,
The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,
I know of no reason
Why Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, t’was his intent
To blow up King and Parliament.
Three-score barrels of powder below
To prove old England’s overthrow;
By God’s providence he was catch’d
With a dark lantern and burning match.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, let the bells ring.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King!”
Thinking of you all. There’s talk of a bonfire at Golden Gardens tonight.
