I left my heart in New York


Blog

Hi Everyone, I’m on my way up to the North of England to work this week before I move into my place for the next six months next Friday. It will certainly be nice to unpack my case and not have to repack it a few days or weeks later. Me and my case have […]

So long, farewell New York, Auf Wiedersehen adieu…..


Blog

It’s late on Sunday night and I never got to write my blog earlier this weekend. I was just too busy, so I’m sat in bed with a glass of wine in hand writing this. I’ve been sitting on the rooftop every evening (I get a great view of the Manhattan skyline but photos don’t […]

It’s me and my singing thingy all the way….


Blog

Hi Everyone, I spent part of this afternoon writing a whole different blog post and discarded it because I just had the loveliest messages after singing in Central Park that it’s completely changed what I wanted to write. It was from a guy who stood listening for about 40 minutes. I could see he had […]

Never a dull moment…..


Blog

I was sat with a friend last night catching up over Mexican food and frozen margaritas (something I got used to quite easily over here), and was telling him what was going on for me and he was like ‘that’s so typically Nicola and only you would have that happening’ and I was ‘there’s never […]

A time to blossom….


Blog

Good morning. I woke up 15 minutes ago. I’m staying at my friend Ellen’s for a couple of nights before I move into a new place for the whole of May. She had a blossom tree party last night and the tree over her garden is just so pretty. I never expected it to be […]

Get your shine on…….


Blog

I’ve come to Bryant Park today to write my blog. The weather is starting to get really nice and it’s good to be outside. My housemate is a naggy bitch and I’m tired of her constant rules. Don’t leave my toothbrush not in the stand, don’t wash the pans a certain way, don’t have my […]

With the flow I must go…..


Blog

Hi Everyone, This trip is about going with the flow. I knew this was the only way I could do it this time as I, myself have no real solutions but I’m letting the Star Wars Yoda style ‘force’ lead me on. I think it’s much wiser than I am. I’ve not had to think […]

We have a choice…….


Blog

Hi Everyone, It’s just after 7am in Brooklyn. I got here last night and made it until 4am British time before I conked out. I’m in my new place for the next three months (the longest I’ve stayed anywhere since I left my room in London at the end of January last year). This is […]

I’m willing to pay the price….


Blog

Hi. It’s my last week in Hebden Bridge. This time next week it will be me and my suitcase again. Back to London for a week doing some work and having some lessons and then over to New York. I’m really thinking about what I’m taking with me this time. Absolutely no extra baggage that […]

Things don’t always go to your plan…


Blog

Hi Everyone, I’m just sat in the cooperative ‘run by the people’ pub waiting to go to the the spiritualist church in an hour and then I’m finally getting to see the film ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’. I’ve got less than three weeks left in Hebden Bridge and I can say that I’ve really enjoyed my time […]
