oh its lovely up there - my parents used to drag us up there all the time and we hated it - but its lovely really!!

Off to New York for a week on 29th August. Have a live in sitter for the dogs, but still can't go for a fortnight. I miss them sooo much, sad person that I am.....

Actually made the booking on Sunday, so I'm getting excited now

just got back from yhe costa del sol, well a fortnight ago, just in time for the wearther to turn bad, cant wait for the new year now we are off to gran canaria for new years eve.anyway happy hols everybody

Ooh New York is fab, my Sis moved to New York State a few years ago (back now though) and I had such a great time visiting her. Central Park is just bizarre though!

I'm an old woman......tell me gently what you mean by bizarre

Nothing freaky don't worry! It's just really really strange to suddenly find yourself in the middle of a gigantic park in the middle of a huge city!

If you can have a go on the Bus tour, you see loads in a relatively short space of time. Just don't sit at the front of the bus with light coloured shorts, cos if you're anything like me and my sis you'll have a sweaty bum and some see through shorts by the time you have to walk past the rest of the passengers to get off.

Oh and don't forget to tip!

is it true that there is a zoo in central park?!

Yup!

Although I didn't get chance to see, too much to see in NY City!

I'm off to Houston,Texas in October for just over 2 weeks
