New York has been a dream trip since I can remember. I wanted to see the bird lady from Home Alone 2 (yes, I know she’s fictional, but thought she might be based around a real person), peer across the water at the Statue of Liberty, walk the bustling streets filled with yellow cabs, eat huge burgers at diners, and see THE bridge (You know I’m on about Brooklyn). At the beginning of this month, my dream finally came alive..OK, I didn’t see a bird lady, although we did see a man sat on a bench with little birds perched…
