While the entire world was gripped with Royle Wedding fever, we spent last weekend wandering around New York, chilling out with our friend Richie. The weather was beautiful, so we checked out the
Japanese Cherry Blossom Festival in the
Brooklyn Botanic Gardens, enjoyed a few beers (at
this fantastic beer store in Brooklyn), a yummy brunch in a
new Harlem restaurant, followed by another leisurely stroll through Harlem and Central Park...
...all in all a great weekend, apart from a miserable dose of hay fever! And we had a much happier weekend than my poor mum, who had to deal with the stress and worry of
terrible gorse fires that were threatening to encroach on our home. Thankfully some long-awaited irish rain finally seems to have brought them under control again. And some people question the reality of climate change!?!
