Monday Memories - #5 Central Park, Autumn 2003

You'll recall that when on the flight back from Chicago last year, I blogged about my hatred of New York.

From going there, on holiday, three times now I think of the place as a hive of hurry and hatred.  It's therefore no surprise that my fondest memories were from my first trip in November 2003.

I came across these beauties of Central Park taken on 21 November, the weekend before Thanksgiving.  It was very mild for the time of year and as a result the Park looked astonishing with all the autumn colours stupidly vibrant.





I'll say it one more time: New York is a brilliant place, just don't make the mistake of going twice.

Monday Memories - #4 New Year's Eve in Sydney

I've been in the UK for all but two new year's eves and at 1pm I turn on Sky News and watch the new year roll in over Sydney.

We were in Australia over Christmas and New Year 2006/2007 for a group holiday taking in a few cities and the Ashes tour. To stand on Sydney Harbour during what is the middle of summer and experience the build up and excitement of this spectacle was fantastic.
