This mid-June update is written from Lviv, as I’m still in Ukraine. I am sharing 13 pictures, which is one a day, but not necessarily taken on different days. Breakfast in Ukraine: traditional food with sour cream and coffee, while watching the latest attack numbers: 729 air threats [drones and missiles of various types]. Coffee […]
On 29 May 2024 Iryna Tsybukh with the callsign Cheka was killed by russians while on a mission as a paramedic. She was born on 1 June. Last year her family decided to organise a festival in her honour and this year it was the second festival – ChekaFest 2.0. Luckily I was able to […]
I was so busy the last 2 weeks I haven’t blogged. I wanted to have the May update, so this is it. I’m in Lviv and I will be here for another 3 weeks. The highlights are: Did camo nets, three types, but only 2 pictured, below and above. At one I took a friend […]
I write this mid-May update from Lviv, unsurprisingly. Do not miss 2 posts I wrote: bus stops in Ukraine and Oriel’s 700th birthday. Now, for the updates, I will share pics with short descriptions. Pretty much that will round up the first half of my month. I received these beautiful flowers from my husband to […]
I’ve been seeing these bus stops on my way from the border to Lviv many times. But only now I could stop and look at them, take pictures, because a friend was driving me and she was happy to stop and have a look. These kind of bus stops were made from the 1960s, as […]
I’ve been to one of multiple events which mark Oriel’s 700th birthday, so I am sharing pictures from the day. Oriel is the college I studied at, while at Oxford. More about the college on the blog post about it. The event I’ve been to had 3 lectures, a break for lunch in Hall, and […]
After the excitement of the first half of the month, the second half was much more uneventful, but it involved a lot of work around the house and with volunteering. Firstly, a coffee date with my husband, at a lovely cafe in Liverpool. I went to Manchester for lunch with friends who have been to […]
We got to Lymm Dam by chance, as I had a meeting with someone nearby and we wanted to go for a walk after that. It’s a nice place, nice find. Enjoy the pics.
I picked a Jar House Bread Mix during my visit to Hook Norton Brewery. This is a family-run business opened in 2015. They have bread and cake mixes. The beer bread is really good and it’s so fast to make. Only beer is needed and it doesn’t need time to prove. Mix and put it […]
This first half of the month was so busy. On 1st April I was flying back to the UK, only to fly back to Poland and cross into Ukraine on the 8th. On 16th I returned to the UK. We’ve celebrated Volya’s Gotcha Day and Easter both in the UK and Ukraine. I love staying […]
This blog is my personal diary, I will only write about brands and products I’ve used personally and are inline with my personal beliefs (e.g. no real fur). I am happy to receive PR samples or services, I also receive gifts at blogging events and sometimes I will blog about them.
I will disclose by mentioning in the post and/or by marking them with an asterisk (*) or c/o.
