| The Umpire State Building |
In October 2011 we stayed in a hotel, just off Time Square. We really enjoyed New York City and hope to return some day. During our stay, we went to the top of the Empire State Building and enjoyed the views over Manhattan. Whilst we were queuing to get into the elevator, I was much pleased by the friendly lady who, checked our tickets and looking at my beret, said " Gee don't you look dapper in your Tambourine"!
We also visited the viewing platform at the the top of the Rockefeller Centre from which this photo was taken.
Toot and I had a wonderful time in the Big Apple . The City offers the tourist many treasures and the New Yorkers we met were friendly, open and warm. Toot and I recommend visiting this fine City it is an interesting and surprising place!
Dickie Bird OBE is England's highest profile cricket umpire. Mr Bird is now retired from professional cricket but like the Empire State Building has iconic national status. So I thought I would put them together!
