Six word Saturday

Polish memories tucked away- for now!

But it will take me a while to forget my boatman

And the astounding scenery

You might have seen my river rafting post yesterday.  I had the best time!  And looking back I have so many more lovely memories from Poland, and that’s not even including the wedding.

I loved the flower stalls at Borek Falecki market

There's always something to see in the Rynek

And there’s always something to see in the Rynek

Or a horse who's all set to go

Like a horse and pretty lady, who’s all set to go

And we can't leave without one last piece of Polish cake

I still have a few memories to share some day, but later this week I’m heading to the Algarve and you know I’ll bring a pocketful of memories back.  The laptop won’t be coming with me.  It’s in very poor health at the moment and needs a little expert attention.  The camera will, of course, but I haven’t used it since an unfortunate episode on Monday.  Wish me luck with that.

I won’t be here for Six word Saturday next week but I’m pretty sure I’ll find you all the following one.  Meantime, don’t forget to visit Cate at Show My Face to read this week’s posts.  And, most of all, enjoy your Saturday!

  3. Love the head shot Jo! Have a lovely time in Portugal. We’ve had a good start to the Lakes – well may it continue (well except for getting out of Shropshire – that took ages!!!) I think you have convinced me to pay a visit to Poland – so which airline and where best to stay?

    1. We usually fly Ryanair to Krakow, Jude (that’s where Adam’s bakery business is, but it’s an excellent base for so many things). The mountains are just a couple of hours south of there, and it’s a beautiful city in its own right. It’s only 4 hours by fast train to Warsaw. Or Wroclaw, nearer to the Silesian border and the Beskidy Mountains is another lovely city.
      Have a think when you get back and we’ll have a chat.
      Sunny 2 days running here! Hope it’s the same for you 🙂

    1. I’m careless by nature, M-R, but the camera was a catastrophe. The laptop is just very old. I’m a very low tech person and don’t usually travel with anything other than my very basic phone to keep me in touch with my son and daughter. The Algarve is my haven of peace 🙂

      2. Yes, I know I’m lucky. Just occasionally the son will drop a bombshell on us while we’re out there. So we don’t get too secure 🙂

  8. I’m looking forward to your Portugal. I’ll miss frequent posts, but I admire your capacity to unhook, even if the unhooking is forced on you! May the camera make a total recovery. I twitch when I can’t take photos. The ethnographic museum in Dubrovnik was a photo feast, and the camera was banned. Have a good time being restfuljo!

    1. Thanks, Meg 🙂 I’ll be posting an English walk on Monday before I go, then I’m hoping to do a bit of cliff top walking over there. Have you been on the walls yet, or is it too warm?

    1. Rarely, Viv, but I spent a couple of hours watching Rafa this afternoon 🙂 I’ve misjudged it a bit because we’ll be away for the final (assuming he gets there) and we don’t have TV.

      1. I agree with you here! I timed it badly to be away from the tennis -was getting into it. But at least we’ll be home for Wimbledon!

      2. You’ll need to be at the pub for your lunch at 12.30, Jude. That’s when the Andy thriller is set to conclude 🙂 We have some lovely neighbours in the Algarve I can usually beg an hour of TV tennis from, but they have grandchildren staying the exact same time we’re there so can’t count on it 😦

  11. Have fun in Portugal. Good to see people still climbing inside that upturned head statue in Rynek. I did the same but slipped and landed in a foot deep puddle of rain and melted snow!

  13. Have a wonderful trip to the Algarve Jo. May your laptop and camera all be happy campers on your return. You have some lovely photos in this post. I especially like the archways and outdoor restaurants.

    1. I never saw the Sukiennice (Cloth Hall) looking so lovely, Sue. I did intend an ‘S’ post on it. Well, maybe next time around 🙂 The Algarve couldn’t be more different but I love a bit of contrast.

    1. The flower stalls were on a local market by the tram terminus, Tobyo. It was always a serious temptation on all sorts of counts.
      Up till today it had been a miserable week weatherwise here but I seem to have imported a little Algarve sunshine. 🙂 At least for a day or two till I get to the real thing!

  16. Oh I do envy you on this most lovely and exciting trip. Thank you for sharing photos, it’s nearly as good as being there. Although, hard to taste your last photo from here! Lovely photos.
