34. Festive Season in New York – Christmas

So. Life happened... and now I'm playing blog catch-up! New York at Christmas time is AMAZING! It is, hands down, one of the most festive places! (However, that does go hand in hand with a ridiculous amount of tourists!! I'm such a local these days....) Commiserating that Katie and Mill had left me for rainy England, …

33. The girls came to visit!!

FINALLY! To give them their due, they booked these flights months ago, but finally they arrived!! I, being the useless person that I am, got all confused and befuddled about who was arriving, on what day, at what time. Turns out Katie was arriving the Thursday evening (i.e. when I was volunteering at the St. …

32. Thanksgiving | Auburn Football | St George’s British Bash

4th Thursday of November? Thanksgiving time! All Americans get the Thursday off work and most take the Friday off too. We got let out of work early Wednesday afternoon, so off to begin the Thanksgiving celebrations with a couple of beverages. A very chilled evening at a small dive bar in SOHO. Thursday morning, up …

31. Ridiculous US food portions | Harvard vs Yale Football | Broadway Show

You would think that after a weekend of bad eating and a lot of drinking in Auburn, I should be straight back on the "health" wagon...... alas, America doesn't like to help there. Once a year, the team I sit behind at work order Lioni’s Italian Heroes sandwiches. I struggle with choosing from a menu …

30. Weekend Away – Auburn, Alabama

Veterans Day was a 'floating holiday' in the US due to November 11th being a Saturday. Naturally, perfect excuse for a three day weekend, i.e. time to take a trip away! Coincidentally. Auburn were playing Georgia that weekend too.. (kinda kidding, Audrey and I booked flights for this weekend back in July! I only realised …

Looking back to when Mum and Dad left, the end of October and beginning of November, I was thinking "I …

28. Mum and Dad Visit Part 4 – NYC // The Finale

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!! SOOO behind on my blogs. Getting to it ASAP! Way back to the end of October: Three day countdown till Mum and Dads home time. Would be rude not to spend the last few days in NYC! Unfortunately, I had to go to work (major Monday blues), but it …

27. Mum and Dad Visit Part 3 – Baltimore

After the silly amount of walking I made them do in Boston and NYC (plus them touristing it up in Cape Cod and Washington DC), Mum and Dad were desperately in need of putting their feet up! I took a half day on Friday, jumped on the 2pm bus and headed down to Baltimore. Mum …

26. Mum and Dad Visit Part 2 – NYC

KAZ HAS FINALLY MADE IT TO NEW YORK CITY!! While I spent the week at work, Mum and Dad made their way down to New York, via Cape Cod, arriving on Thursday evening. I picked them up from the car hire drop off, introduced them to Chipotle (basically they wanted a quick dinner) and showed …

25. Mum and Dad Visit Part 1 – Boston

LOOK WHO'S COME TO VISIT!! KAZ AND AL This has come around SO quickly! I swear it was only last week they were booking flights! Obviously, classic Patmore style, a quick weekend trip to New York wasn't good enough... a whole three week trip has been planned!! (....I'm pretty sure I'm just an excuse for …
