Had an absolutely fantastic time in New York with the family! Cracking atmosphere everywhere! NYC cabs and police -so cliche. It rained a few days we were there, but it was amazingly clear when we went up the Empire State Building, my God it was cold up there though.
We cruised all the usual shops -Bloomingdales, Tiffany’s, and Macy’s etc. I bought the most gorgeous Diesel dress that had 75% off! We saw a show in Times Square and visited the Guggenheim, which were both really good.
Ice skating in Central Park was magical with all the sky scrapers lit up next to us, and a guy proposed to his girlfriend on the ice infront of everyone! So romantic! Went to a great italian restaurant after skating, they had wicked measures of JD in there, and the pizzas were fab.
Food was lovely, especially waffles with maple syrup and strawberries for breakfast! Oh and we ate chinese out of boxes – Friends style!
A trip defo worth taking, especially at Christmas! Although buckle up in those cabs -we had a crash in one of them! Luckily they have shock absorbers but I ended up with a bruise on my knee and Mark had a massive bruise on the side of his face!
Oh and definitely travel with two doctors who have to give medical aid on the plane there, you get business class on the way home, Cherrrrching!

Today I had a look at Alex Mcculloch’s facebook, everyone’s been posting after his tragic death, but one particularly made me think, well, made me cry. It’s heart breaking.
Dave Mcculloch:
Its my birthday again mate
Who’s going to buy me that vintage port
Who’s going to buy me that teenagers shirt
Who’s going to hold me with those big hands
Who’s going to tell me i am a daft old man
Love and miss you mate
Dad x x x

I’ve written this about Paul Shelley’s death, I can’t bare the effects his death has had on people, but I can remember every laugh his life brought. Rest in peace Paul, even though you will probably be causing a stir up there.
how dangerous our lives can be
taken away from us so greedily
one minute there
and next minute…gone
another phone call
what’s he done now?
death on your lips…
and I listen
am I asleep again
because I’m feeling it
again
it’s too much to read
and it’s not enough to say
and it’s too much of a waste
to hear about today
it’s so simple to say it
it’s too hard to comprehend it
no words penetrate enough
and no thoughts seep through this shock
irreversible.
yet avoidable.
I offer my laugh to your laugh Paul…
and I offer your smile to the world.
