A New York Beginning...

Well, here I am some time later from my last post, sitting in a cafe in New York staring outside as the SNOW falls on the pavement. Yes, I have embarked on my next adventure, and this time I find myself in New York! I've taken a job nannying for the lovely family I used to work for in London, while Jess acts in a play on Broadway - i'm looking after little Bee and Freda in our amazing loft apartment!

I arrived in New York almost 2 weeks ago. It was a bit of an adventure getting here, having some trouble in customs getting into the country and subsequently almost missing my connecting flight from LA to NYC - I found myself running for my plane in my socks!!

I did make it though, and the first couple of days here I chilled out in my hotel room in Midtown while I awaited the arrival of Jess and the kids. We moved into our amazing loft apartment in downtown Tribeca - I really lovely little area in downtown - it's clame to fame as being Robert De Niro's 'hood'. I still haven't seen him yet but am determined to track him down by the end of my time here!

The first week was a bit of a blur - it entailed a lot of long hours of work while Jess rehearsed and got ready for her play. We did however manage to get to Central Park for a lovely afternoon with the kids, taking a horse carriage ride through the park. It really is amazing there, such a large park in the centre of Manhattan!

We hung out with Jess at her theatre, and while there unbeknownst to me I sat right next to Kevin Spacey (one of the producers of her play) !!!! Haha, really I WAS just playing it cool!

Another highlight of last week was a visit to Broadway to take the kids to see Shrek the musical. I was slightly perturbed by the man dressed as Shrek - the whole ogre suit thing on a grown man was a bit off putting! It really was a great show though.

On Sunday I had a lovely day off to take in the city. I took the ferry to Staten Island and got a whole different perspective on Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty. Amazing!

This week has been really busy too, with Jess working alot doing alot of press and the opening of the play last night. Hopefully things will settle down soon and i'll be able to write about more exciting adventures in NYC!!!!
