From Cider Country to the Big Apple...and Back?

So, in 4 days I will be leaving the Big Apple and flying back across the pond to Cider Country, aka my beloved Bristol. However I do have some news....I will be returning to NYC in September for English Gal in New York: Part Deux! My flights are booked! 

I realise I've been somewhat slack on the photo front recently but that's only because of my photography exhibition at B&T which is still in full swing. I've sold 6 photos so far (and been bought copious amounts of G&T's) so very pleased. Hopefully this will be the first of many exhibitions to come! :) 

Maybe I'll find it in NYC?

Here it is....

It would be lovely to see you at my exhibition if you are in the area. But for all my English followers, never fear, I have something in the pipeline... ;) 

Fun, Frolics and Fireworks on the Fourth!

Yesterday was the first time I had ever experienced the 4th July in the US and it was lots of fun!  

Fourth July Cake at Baked 

Frank's 1987 Stars and Stripes Converse (they're older than me!).

After work Caitlin and I made a lovely little picnic, complete with Larry the Lobster, to take on the the roof before the fireworks.

Larry! 

Look what I found.......

....glad I kept those bibs from the Oyster Bar! Hehe! 

Although the fireworks weren't overhead, it was still a very pretty skyline and a great atmosphere. 

Blurry but beautiful 

After the fireworks we ventured off up the road to the Bait & Tackle (by this point we were still wearing our totally awesome Oyster Bar bibs and we had discovered that they could double up as a cape if we turned them back to front! Hehe!).

King James and The Special Men were performing at the Bait and Tackle which made for a fun night of dancing and honorary tambourine playing!
