NYC Day 7: Back to reality!

It was a sad day today, having to say goodbye to NYC again and get back to the UK (and the midnight – 3am Islanders games).  I did a little bit of shopping this morning and went to Junior’s Brooklyn which was the first Junior’s (1965) for some of their famous cheesec

My New Love

Well, it is my first blog entry on my website. There is not much point to my website but I think given I use the e-mail for my work then it is wise to use the website. The content will be pretty static, but I have added a blog because I want to start to write about my travels and inte
