Well what a day, New York was literally rocking. So Mummy’s Mummy arrived last night and since then Darwin has been a very spoilt, little boy!

We were pushing a luggage trolley with all our bags for a month (there was a lot of bags), for our trip. We got everything into the car and pulled away when we started noticing lots of people standing outside looking up. Then we turned the corner and there were more people flooding out of buildings, it seemed like there was a bomb scare. I asked someone and they said there had been an earthquake! It was really weird that we didn’t feel it, I guess because we weren’t inside a building we didn’t see anything shake. Daddy did feel the earthquake, his whole office shook! I proceeded to spend the next two hours trying to call him but the phone lines were so jammed that I couldn’t get through. Thankfully he was fine and his building wasn’t evacuated like most others were.

The traffic out of the city was crazy as everyone was trying to get out after the earthquake. When we got out of Manhattan it cleared up and we arrived at the house in time for Darwin’s tea. It’s so beautiful and peaceful here, the house is surrounded by mountains and you can sit out on the rocking chair and listen to the sounds of the river. Both Darwin and Winston were very happy to get here and to get out of our very lovely car.
