British in NYC. Longtime in Brooklyn, now in Queens. Arts, housing, green spaces, maps, buses & subways, stuff on the street.
2. For a Christmas table, icing & marzipan are nice. We always had a decorated cake. But I’m just as happy with a plain cake — especially paired with a slice of strong cheese. Great with a cup of tea or something stronger …

1. Fruit cakes are delicious, but too often get a bad reputation here, perhaps because the commercial ones are too dry, and poorly flavoured. Ideally a fruit cake should be made well ahead of time, and should be infused with a spirit — I prefer rum, but brandy, whiskey etc are popular.

Very interesting to learn about the history behind these parades.
Photographer P.L.Sperr took 1930s photographs of Manhattan ragamuffins. Here are some of them.

Thanks. Over a decade ago I became obsessed with Sperr’s NYC photographs, & couldn’t understand how little he seemed to be recognized. I found some biographical info about him, but not as much as I’d hoped. Am glad to see he’s got more attention in recent years. Still dreaming of a Sperr exhibition!

Wonderful to see otters flourishing & their numbers increasing over here. Was elated to get to spend time watching one in a New Hampshire pond earlier this autumn — never seen at that spot before, at least in many decades. What a thrill.
