The View From Here...

Two of 'my' places... one old, one new.



Primrose Hill, London


Primrose Hill has long been one of my favourite places in the world... when I lived in London I spent many hours there, both alone and with the people dearest to me. Winter and Summer it was a place of reflection, amusement, natural beauty and a reminder to be thankful for everything good in my life.

I will never, ever tire of spending time there and I'm so glad I got to revisit it on this trip.




The High Line, NYC (view of the Empire State Building)


Since my last visit to NYC, the High Line has been completed, and what an amazing place it is. A little track of green amongst the bustling city. Views of the city amongst some gorgeous plant life, with loads of places to sit, take time out and contemplate the world around and how magnificent it is.

A new favourite place to add to my favourite NYC haunts.

When Garmin Gets It Wrong...

According to Garmin, I drove on water yesterday. Right across the George Washington Bridge towards Queens.

I never knew I was such a talented driver... that's a skill not taught in Advanced Driver Training!




Well that is one way to get around the traffic jam...
