It’s not Wednesday, I know, and this was originally posted as a Wednesday Wander. Yet it seemed fitting to share today, 19 years after that terrible moment when the world changed… We had to go there. It didn’t seem right to be in New York and not visit the site of an event which hasContinue reading “In Memoriam 9/11 – Ground Zero Memorial, New York City”

Wednesday Wander Revisited – A Wet Day in New York City
Is it a wet day where you are? Or are you suffering with the heat, as so many of us are across the UK? We’re on the Devon coast at the moment, so it’s a bit cooler than inland, but there have been some spectacular thunderstorms. Still, we don’t let the weather stop us fromContinue reading “Wednesday Wander Revisited – A Wet Day in New York City”
Wednesday Wander – Times Square and Rockefeller Plaza, New York
It’s Wednesday, and time for another wander. I’m continuing with our recent trip to New York – apologies for the number of posts but there was just so much to see, as we crammed in as much as we could in the few days we had! This week, I’m wandering to Times Square and RockefellerContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – Times Square and Rockefeller Plaza, New York”
Wednesday Wander – A Wet Day in New York
It’s Wednesday, and time for another wander. I’ve had my head down these past two weeks working on an edit, so have not had time to do much else at all! However, I like to keep going with my Wanders, especially with my most recent trip still fresh in my mind. So, let’s head backContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – A Wet Day in New York”
Wednesday Wander – Ground Zero
We had to go there. It didn’t seem right to be in New York and not visit the site of an event which has shaped the modern city, and much of the world, since it happened. And so this week my Wednesday Wander is to Ground Zero, the site of the World Trade Centre attacksContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – Ground Zero”
Wednesday Wander – Casa Batllo, Barcelona
I know, I know. You thought I was going to continue with my epic trip from last month. And, I am, definitely. There’s still so much to see in New York, from Rockefeller Plaza to the Chrysler building, Central Park to the Art Deco architecture of Fifth Avenue. Plus all the other places we visited…Continue reading “Wednesday Wander – Casa Batllo, Barcelona”
Thursday Doors – Statue of Liberty Pedestal
Following on from yesterday’s Wander to the Statue of Liberty, here is one of the pedestal doors. Each door is different, with relief panels depicting components of the statue. They’re also huge! As you can see, I couldn’t get the whole thing in the shot. These doors (there are two of them) hang at theContinue reading “Thursday Doors – Statue of Liberty Pedestal”
Wednesday Wander – Statue of Liberty, USA
I recently returned from the most wonderful trip. I summed it up on Instagram as follows: seven cities + six hotels + five states + four flights + three suitcases + two countries = one amazing trip! But it was so much more than that. Our whirlwind two weeks travelling from New York to TorontoContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – Statue of Liberty, USA”
Home Again…
Hello everyone! I’m back from my adventure. The jetlag has worn off, the laundry is (mostly) done, and the holiday seems almost like a dream. Yet it was real, and it was fantastic – I saw so much and have so much to write about I hardly know where to begin (there will be manyContinue reading “Home Again…”
An Adventure…
Hello, everyone! I know, I know – it’s been a little while between posts. I’ve been focusing on a massive editing job, a final push to get The Last Raven out to my editor by the end of this month… and I managed to finish yesterday! Just in time, too, as tomorrow I’m heading offContinue reading “An Adventure…”
