A Visit from the Home Land...

Meeting new people is one of the best parts of living in a city like New York. It requires very little effort and there is always someone new who is happy to talk to you (the Brit accent helps admittedly).

Since moving to New York I’ve met some amazing people and some friends that I hope to keep for a long time back in the UK, but it has to be said, there is nothing like those friends who know you well enough to tell you that you’re acting like a 4 year old or that you smell because you forgot to put on deodorant or that it’s time you got laid because you’ve started spooning your pillow in your sleep. Now I’m not saying I’ve had all these comments from friends...but I know they would tell me if I needed to know these things.

So imagine my joy when I had 6 friends from back in blightly visit for the New Year break. Back in NY and on a come down from an amazing Christmas they were exactly the antidote I needed to renew my post-Christmas glow!

I won’t provide a rundown of everything we did, it wouldn’t be interesting for anyone but me. I will, however, provide a photo summary of each day. Top 5 photos from each of the 4 days...get ready for it:
