word of the week #40



In the last week we have covered lots of ground indeed! We sailed across to Staten Island, the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. We walked miles around Manhattan, through Little Italy, down Fifth Avenue, and through Times Square. We went in an incredibly grand lift in Tiffany's, rode the subway, and took a yellow cab across the city.

There was the long flight home, followed by a few days commuting to work on the train. Then this weekend there has been a good few hours in the car travelling to Cambridge and back for a friend's birthday.

Now, the passports are away, the bags are unpacked, and after a fabulous week of planes, trains, automobiles, and some boats too, we are home, and enjoying the prospect of staying in one place for a while.

  1. "New York, New York, so good they names it twice.." Love the place and sounds like you covered a lot of ground is a short space of time!
    Travelling is so much fun, broadens the mind but it's also just as nice to come home, close the door and enjoy some home comforts!
    Welcome back

  2. Fabulous! I do love New York, and in fact we were talking about it this weekend as my brother's off there this month. Great city, and Cambridge is lovely, too. Enjoy resting at home for a bit now then! Thanks for sharing with #WotW x
