My First Posted Comments

So I did this blog for fun. Being British and living 3000 miles away in New York, I thought it would be a fun way for my friends and family back home to follow our lives, see some photos of our children, and generally get an idea of life over here.

This blog wasn't to seek any type of fame or fortune. I realise it was a window into our world and available for all and sundry to view, but what I didn't anticipate was my first comment EVER RECEIVED to be so vindictive and mean spirited - from someone I don't even know! What is this world coming to that someone thinks it's ok to write something like that?!

I made a simple comment about mapquest driving us to a complete dead end - which it did! And then when I make a comment about it, I get called stupid! I love the Bronx, I love the diversity of everyone there, the food is great, and the zoo is one of the best in the world. So if that person is still reading this blog, please stop! Or if you truly want to follow my simple life, say something pleasant or nothing at all and leave the comments for my family and friends that do enjoy it.

BTW - here are the incorrect directions from mapquest - it says the zoo is at 444 E 148th Street which is completely wrong.
