Sunsets I admire…
Actually, not only sunsets but generally sky, clouds and light. I’m always truly amazed by the shapes and colours nature can create and I often rush out of the house or pull over the car to capture the amazing picture, sky had painted in front of me. Sadly, not always I’ve got my camera with … More Sunsets I admire…
Tring & Natural History Museum
Natural History Museum in Tring I must admit I found that museum quite creepy at the beginning with all those stuffed and mounted animals. We went there with some children from a Saturday Polish School and one of my pupils kept asking “Why did they have to kill all those animals?” It wasn’t easy to … More Tring & Natural History Museum
Bajki Tysiąca i Jednej Polki: BAJKA 17 – W służbie Jej Królewskiej Mości
“Istnieje mapa bez krańców świata – są na niej wszystkie kontytenty, miasteczka i wsie, ale jako że zawieruszyła się w bibliotecznym dziale baśni, nabyła magicznych cech: jeśli się na niej stanie, potrafi porwać ze sobą w najbardziej odległe miejsce. Byli tacy, którzy próbowali przedostać się mapą na skróty na Wielką Rafę Koralową u brzegów Australii, … More Bajki Tysiąca i Jednej Polki: BAJKA 17 – W służbie Jej Królewskiej Mości
A day in Bath
We visited Bath in May, last year. I heard so much about its Roman baths and the city itself, I just had to see it. It’s about 150 km (97 miles) west of London, so it took us about 1,5 hour to get there. We parked off the city centre in some alleyway and had … More A day in Bath
Cycling afternoon in Langley
I love England for their beautiful parks where you can walk, jog or cycle. As I mentioned in my previous post, we live in between two huge parks, parted by a road. One of them, Black Park is more a forest than a park with its woodland and heatherland. Today we went to another one … More Cycling afternoon in Langley
Country views with a country life?
We moved out from London more than 19 months ago. I wasn’t that keen on to it, no. From previous place I could walk to my work in 10 minutes. I could also walk to the baker’s and corner shop to get milk and most needed essentials. So what, I had neighbours’ houses all around … More Country views with a country life?
France, Grand-Fort-Philippe
I believe many of you came somewhere too early. Have you ever arrived at your ferry terminal 6 hours earlier than your departure time? It happened to us after Easter break, when we were coming back from Poland to UK. We always try to set off earlier, as you never know what is going to … More France, Grand-Fort-Philippe
Luxembourg full of elephants!
As I mentioned in a previous post I was visiting my family in Germany, just near the border with Luxembourg and obviously I couldn’t waste such a chance. I planned to visit the capital of Luxembourg (of the same name) on our way to Calais, so we set off straight after breakfast. That part of Germany … More Luxembourg full of elephants!
My drive through Europe. Poland, Germany.
Coming back from Croatia last year, we made a stop in Poland to visit our parents and friends. My husband had to go back to work, so after a couple of days, I dropped him off at the airport and stayed for a little longer, so that the children could enjoy time with their grandparents. … More My drive through Europe.
