Warsaw

We had a good time in Warsaw visiting family, friends, walking around and eating delicious food. There was a NATO summit when we were there, but it wasn’t so bad. Parking restrictions and empty streets (almost all streets in our area were closed) reminded me how Warsaw felt on Sundays when I was a kid. But it was sometimes hard to figure out which direction the buses were going, because of all the changes in public transport. Also – we felt very safe with all the security around, for example this guy:

Also, the weather was good, rather cool then hot. More about sightseeing soon 🙂

decorations

I went crazy with christmas decorations. I made them myself, and I think it all turned out pretty well. As you can see.

Have a nice Winter!

Brighton!

We are Brightonians, from March. Brighton is wonderful. It’s made of hills, so my shape is getting better, as we live on the top of the one of the hills. Sometimes it’s hard to catch your breath while climbing, but then you’re rewarded with a view from the top. There is the sea on one side and South Downs on the other (they are chalky hills).

Brighton is full of Cronopias*, so we feel at home, being Cronopias as well. People actually talk to each other here, whenever you go, and are very helpful too. So – we might stay here for a while.

I just wish Summer was more like Summer.

It’s been a while I wrote here, so some updates (and they are links to gallery too, so please, click):

There was Brighton Festival in May, and Brighton Fringe. We saw many interesting shows, concerts etc.

I went to Poland in June, because of a dental emergency. I visited Mazury too, in a pouring rain.

We had a wonderful visit of Johan’s Aunt and Uncle.

Now Johan has a bit of free time from work, we stayed at home but we go for walks on these beautiful hills around us.

winter break in Poland

Johan and I spent 2 fantastic weeks in Poland. Christmas – with my parents in Mazury, New Year with my friends in a small village near Warsaw. We also had a wonderful time meeting my friends in Warsaw. It was very beautiful in Mazury. Almost white.
Unfortunately news are not good – no jobs and constantly rising prices (noticeably from July).
