Last Day Luncheon...

Monday was Mops and Pop's last day in New York. I had enjoyed the long weekend so much and it went so fast, so I was sad that Monday had rolled around so quickly - but we made sure we had a lovely last day together, starting with breakfast at a little new café in Brooklyn called Chez Ollie & Abi. Infact Mops and Pops were the very first customers of the new café!

We spent the morning keeping dry from the heavy rain, and watched the Jubilee Regatta on BBC America, feeling glad that we were all warm and dry inside rather than being on a boat on the Thames in the rain!

It looked amazing though, all the boats, all the festivities - it made me feel very proud to be British. There's something about being away from home that makes me (or one, if I'm using the Queen's English) feel more patriotic and more proud about home.

By the time the programme had finished the rain had stopped and the sun had come out, so we went into Manhattan to have a spot of lunch at Pastis in the Meatpacking District...

Pasitis is a famous New Yorky brunch spot, frequented by celebrities like Jay-Z and Beyonce and now The Langridges!

We had some delicious fish and chips and Pops had some veal and onions, and we soaked in the New Yorkiness and all the New Yorky people enjoying their lunch.

I'd never been to Pastis before, so it was lovely to go there for the first time with Mops and Pops, the whole weekend was a weekend of firsts for all of us, which made it all feel even more like a holiday for me and Abi too.

It really was a perfect few days, it was so relaxing, the weather behaved itself, Pops behaved himself, and we all had such a great time... which made it even all the worse that it had to end.
