Concrete Jungle

... these streets will make you feel brand new

Empire State of Mind

Williamsburg sunshine and spring

Crossing borders...

Land of the free

Boardwalking

Well, I thought I'd be away from my blog for a while, but not quite THIS long... here is the first in a series of catch-up entries.

So, New York... all I can say is I am smitten. I wasn't expecting to fall in love, given how I crave my fresh air and bird song. But funnily enough, all the things I find in my favourite spots, I found too in that vast concrete jungle: space, variety, views, community, purpose and buzzing, bursting life. Forgive me for using my photos to document our trip but my words really don't do it justice. New York, I will be back...

Oh, we did SO much!


Hello Birdie!

WOW

I have to say, though it's had its wonderful, memorable moments, I am not sad to see the back of 2010. And it is with great hope, wonder and excitement that I look forward to all that 2011 brings. Many of my dearest friends are approaching some of 'life's big moments' and it is with them in mind that I write this post. Stay awesome 2011, we love you already!


Finally, I will get to walk the New York High Line!



There'll be lots of confetti...



Wine and cheese in the South of France anyone...?



And my favourite... some new 2011 arrivals!

And now... I've had enough of winter so I'm going off in search of spring...
