Whilst not entertaining May, we have had a great time walking around The ‘Villages’ – West, Greenwich and East as well as enjoying a dragon dance in Chinatown as part of the Chinese New Year festivities. On Saturday, we were treated to a fabulous meal out as a Christmas and thank you present from my sister and bro-in-law, after which we headed to our first bit of New York jazz. Andy ‘musicmeister’ Arnott described the first piece we heard as five excellent musicians all playing different songs at the same time…not quite to our taste. But it picked up and became more melodic over the next few pieces.
The luxurious multiculturalism of NYC (which hasn’t failed) is still a source of joy to us. Each day is so much fun and we are spoilt to be surrounded by such an awesome city (yes, even Andy ‘I hate cities’Arnott agrees). We are also spoilt by the amazing hosting of Roza and Jason. There are few people in the world who could possibly put up with a) me b) and Andy c) in a one bedroom flat d) for over a month…AND still say they are enjoying it! We most certainly are, it is a real highlight of the trip to be able to spend so much time with the New York branch of the Adamson/Williams clan.
