Re: American storm
It is exactly a year ago that we arrived in New York to exactly the same weather, Central Park was closed and the hatches were battened down, of course we were told that they never get weather like that at this time of year, Val had to buy Winter boots as she only had sandals, still it gave her the excuse to visit Macey,s

Wouldn,t fancy being in N.Y. when it reaches land , it is a very strange place when the streets are quiet and the wind blows between the high buildings, its like walking in a wind tunnel

Re: American storm
My heart feels for the ordinary people of the entire area, they are among the freindliest people you could ever wish to meet, last year we placed poppies at ground zero and when people asked why and we told them they were so appreciative and truly thanked us for the thought, we think about them all the time and can,t wait to go back.
