Hello from the NYC Metro Area!

General Chat Your Introductions!

My name is Phill.

Since semi-retiring and moving to the suburbs from NYC, I’ve been trying to up my travel game, both here near home and overseas. I also love knitting, history, and architecture.

I still work part time as a music teacher and church organist, I have an awesome dog named Higgins, and I have a London/Paris trip scheduled for this Winter. Excited to start reading and posting!

Hi Phill :039: … there’s a few Americans here and friendly Brits across The Pond.
Jump in and enjoy yourself.

Hi there Pewter. Welcome to the forum. Great to hear someone from NYC, probably my favourite City. Say Hi to Higgins too.

Hi Pewter, warm welcome to over50 forum…
You live in my favourite city in USA.

I made some trips there as my son was doing business in that city. I begged him to take me on the NYC Subway. He did, but made me promise not to look sideways at anyone as he was a bit nervous…hahahaha.

I promised, but broke the promise the first 2 minutes on there. Couldn’t help myself. So many interesting people there…

Looking forward to your posts…

I’m looking forward to the Thanks Giving parade, and meeting up with a another New Yorker who is a member on here.

Hi phil welcome - but be warned - “our plums do have red maggots” - otherwise you’ll be fine! - getting used to british humor can be difficult sometimes we’ve been trying to educate them for years - I’m from the land down under - perpetual sunshine; clean beaches and sharks !

Welcome from me too, Pewter man.
Britain has some awesome architecture, ancient towns, and friendly pubs.

Where I live is near what is now called the A5 road but it follows the ancient Roman Watling Street. Also Icknield Way which predates the Roman times. History abounds.

And I also have a dog.
