'From Cider Country To The Big Apple' - The Exhibition!
I'm sorry I've been MIA few several days. I've had a rather busy schedule of late and found little time to squeeze in a blog post. But never fear, I'm back with some good news! I'm please to announce that I will be doing a solo exhibition of my New York photos in Brooklyn before I return to England! I'm hugely excited! Yay! Although I must contain myself and focus on editing, printing, hanging as time is against me. I'm thrilled about the venue for the exhibition - it will be taking place at my newly beloved Bait & Tackle!
Details regarding times/dates will follow very soon so if you're in New York, or fancy a trip across the pond, please come and take a look!

A Day At The Beach And An Evening At The Park

| A certain blonde haired, blue eyed nephew of mine springs to mind! :) |

| Yes, I did go into the water with my camera! A very nerve racking experience! |
Watching 'The Phil' and drinking wine out of mugs! That's how we roll!
A lovely evening was finished with fireworks!

News Just In...!
Actually I'm not going to tell you the news until its all confirmed....but watch this space! :)
Another hot day in NYC and Frank and I have had a bit of a silly afternoon in the workshop...
So I'm on bottle of Gin No.3 since my arrival (well, I did promise Uncle C that I would do some gin research while I was here, so I'm only doing as I'm told!) Today's Gin purchase is bottle from the Hebrides, called The Botanist and it is very lovely indeed! Just as a side note, whilst 'googling' The Botanist I also discovered a gin blog: http://www.theginblog.co.uk/home/2011/12/the-botanist-gin/ (this one's for you Jen! :) )

The sun has now sunk well below the horizon; but before I say goodnight I just want to say that right now I can see the Statue of Liberty, The Freedom Tower (World Trade Centre), the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building! They are each lit up and looking magical!
Night Night xx

Time Zones and Time Alone
For me, the most loneliest time of day is around 6 or 7 o'clock, when all my English friends and family have gone to bed and my New York ones haven't come out to play yet.
Give Me Mercy
Look what I discovered in Fairway.....
If only I had known about this before! I am off to the Bait & Tackle tonight so I have bought a can to give it a go (although of course I will be on diet coke all night! ;) If it proves successful I will be buying it in bulk for myself and my alcoholic friends and family, (you know who you are!).

'Have A Nice Day!"
*Warning - Rant Ahead*
Ok, I have officially got 'Have A Nice Day' fatigue! Americans use it as a conversation closer without even thinking, no matter the situation. They even say it in the evening - how can I have a nice day if the day is almost over? I've actually started being a bit cheeky by saying 'You have a super nice day too' or 'I'll try but it looks like it's gona be a bad one today!' Hehe!
Ok, rant over, just needed to get that off my chest!
On a completely different topic entirely, the more observant among you may have noticed that I have added my Instagram feed to the right-hand side of my blog. My Instagram name is cliftongal01 so feel free to follow me! If you are a 'From Cider Country To The Big Apple' fan then you can subscribe via email (on the RHS too) in order to receive an update when I post a new blog so you don't have to check in all the time and find that I've been spending too much time at the Bait and Tackle and not enough blogging! :)
It's hot, hot, here again today. Off to the office/store/workshop in a mo, after my Rice Crispies! (I've discovered a gluten free version out here!). I got a bit creative yesterday and did some screen printing as we are making dust bags for the Anglo Bag that's featured in Oprah Magazine.
