Brooklyn Flea Market







The last morning of my trip. Day out with Daddy, and my first experience of Brooklyn Flea. I loved it. It was really interesting to see what was for sale at a Stateside flea vs the English markets i’m used to – I think I might have to come back next trip with an empty suitcase to fill with American treasure!

(And THAT is a hot lobster roll. Heaven. I managed to drop a huge chunk of meat on the floor in all the excitement… Dad and I both looked at it longingly before deciding that Brooklyn floor-food might not be the brightest idea.)

Survival Techniques


This is how i’ve felt over the last few days, only considerably less cute. Speaking as someone who trips and falls frequently (and generally for no legitimate reason – stumbling up flights of stairs and falling over my own feet/thin air are a couple of my extra special tricks!) the ice and snow we’ve been enjoying this week have proven to be a bit of a challenge when it comes to walking, well, anywhere. In an attempt to look less ridiculous in public by falling down a lot, i’ve taken to doing the ice shuffle. It’s essentially that odd side to side walk that penguins do. Great success rate so far – I haven’t landed in a heap on the ground yet… Although I fear the waddle i’ve adopted doesn’t make me look any less silly to passers-by.

Oh well.

Life Lately

An order for Frank, a delightful afternoon in Whitstable enjoying the beautiful shops, overindulging in Camembert, learning how to patchwork, buying (more) stripes.
