Happy Valentines Day!

At the weekend

I have dropped my Saturday shift at work and its sooo lovely to be off.  This past Saturday we took a walk into town and then along the river... there are two little parks along the river side which were very nice. We came across these greek style statues which were pretty cool.  Then we stopped off at a cafe and tried some duck rillettes which was delicious!

Superbowl Snacks

Today was Superbowl Sunday we decided to stay home and watch the game... so Russell cooked up some man food to have while watching it. His team (Patriots) lost :( but the spicy turkey legs were yummy.

 Baked eggs with pork & sage sausage and portobello mushrooms for lunch 

Spicy turkey legs - delicious :)

On the Tyne

My desktop picture is a view of the Tyne, people at work were admiring it today... they thought it was somewhere exotic! it inspired me to post photos from last year when we were home :)

Once Upon A Time In America

Teddy was excited to take a shot of the Manhattan Bridge like the famous one in Once Upon A Time In America, we were lucky - the light was just right when we got there.

Brooklyn NYC

Hello all, hope you are all having a good start to 2012! We took a very short trip to NY last weekend, we spent 2 nights in Brooklyn and just hung out there checking out some of the neighbourhoods.  It was really nice but so so cold! Here are some photos from our walk along the Brooklyn Bridge Park.

There was a beautiful old carousel between the bridges which we had a ride on - Teddy really enjoyed that!

Me enjoying snails for the first time - yum

Sunday Treats

Enjoying a sunny Sunday afternoon. We went to the yummy frozen yoghurt shop. Mine was coconut, black cherry, almonds and dark choc drops.

 I cheated and wore my new birthday shoes early!
