Not the North Pole


I'm heading to New York City today with DH and 'traveling granddaughter' Jasmin. Hold that snow, sleet or rain, please! Send it Santa's way, he knows how to deal with it. You may remember we planned this same trip for last year. Then, just as I stepped on the gas and headed toward the airport, phone rang and dear Delta told me all flights to the Northeast were canceled.........due to snow, ice, and wind, a powerful storm.


Fingers crossed please. I would really like to share images of the city dressed for Christmas. Hoping and wishing it all works out for us this year.


Weather Update:

It's beginning to look and feel a lot like Christmas, all around the town we're leaving. A chance of snow flurries here in North Carolina later today........after we fly out. BUT, an accumulation due in New York later tomorrow and Sunday..........looks like we will enjoy an early White Christmas in the city and that will be awesome.

Thank goodness we bought real snow boots, they may get a workout on the snowy pavements of New York! I'll be posting from the city during the coming days.

  1. I thought of you as soon as I heard the forecast. I hope you get out of town before we have any weather to potentially cancel flights.

    Have a wonderful time.

  11. Can't wait to see the pix of New York at Christmas - they show a bit of film on GMTV but it's never enough, and they never keep the cameras still enough to get a good look! Well, unusually for London we've already had snow! And it settled... it's been really cold (Siberian winds) and I'm so glad I still have my old snow boots from when I used to do Portobello Market - it's really icy out there.

    My post this week is my mother's Lethal Sherry Trifle recipe (it has an awful lot of sherry in it) which we have had every single year since I was 15 (I'm 57 now!).

    Have a safe trip and a very Happy Pink Saturday!
