Art New York

"It sitting down" in the City Hall Park
a welcome oasis after the long hot trek
over the Brooklyn Bridge.
I also decided to sit down in the park
for a rest stop with some knitting &
photos.

Brooklyn Bridge

After Starbucks we walked along
the river and across the Brooklyn
Bridge which first opened in 1883
and still going strong.

Classic New York

Starbucks in the sunshine and classic
New York fire escapes on the buildings
opposite - still in Brooklyn.

Knitting New York

We have just returned from a few days
in New York. In Brooklyn we found a
whole street of parking meters clad in
knitted covers!

Birthday cake

The birthday cake was classic
victoria sponge - set off by crazy
candles which re-light every time
you blow them out - supplied by
my mum and caused great hilarity
as I tried in vain to blow them out!
I was eventually rescued and helped
when the onlookers had stopped
laughing long enough.

Birtday theme

Even got a few cards with cakes on!
