From the Big Apple to Droridge Apple Trees

Instead of shopping at Zabars it’s Riverford Farm foodshop, instead of the Gourmet Garage it’s Dartington Garage. Our Broadway is Totnes High Street. The Tribeca Film festival has been replaced with the Barn Cinema. Dartington Gardens is our Central Park. The BBC is our CNN, The Guardian our New York Times. We keep kicking each other in our standard double bed after the giant conjugal bed we had in New York. I haven’t seen anyone jogging since we returned. How diverse lives are.

I didn’t have the necessary leads to put photos on the blog while I was in New York so here are some now to transport you across the Atlantic.

Metropolitan Museum of Art - Rooftop Terrace - Roxy Paine's sculpture 'Maelstrom'

The Brooklyn Bridge - on our way to BAM

Chuck Close (and attendant angels) - Meatpacking District

Shop window on Mott Street

SoHo lofts

Christopher Park - West Village

Our book-lined pied à terre - Upper West Side

Climbing up the rooftop is definitely worth that view! You wouldn't see sculptures like that elsewhere. Those are some awesome shots. There's truly no place like the Big Apple!
