A friendly lion- any guesses where?

It had to be, didn’t it?

I did a little window shopping

It’s a long way from Christmas, but aren’t these beautiful?

Naturally, I walked.  I’ll take you inside the Barbikan later ….

And show you lots of maps

A cosy cafe to escape the rain

And even underneath the Rynek, the Market Square, to Podziemia!

Out in the suburbs it was pretty, too

Spring (Wiosna) had arrived beautifully (hover over the images below for the Polish names)

With heaps of blossom

Apple blossom (Migdalowa)

And my favourite, Magnolia (Magdanolia)

I might just have saved the best till last… my cousin Jadwiga (Jadzia) with her grandaughter, and our cousin Marta- soon to be a grandma too.

Meet Nadia!  A joyful addition to our Polish family

There are stories to tell, and my head is still half full of Polish, but for now, I’m home again.  I brought with me a wedding invitation for September, so I think that I’ll be back.

Time to settle into a routine, at least for a little while.  Hope you enjoyed the preview of what’s to come, and that you have a happy weekend.  It’s grey and damp outside, but I don’t even mind. I’ve put some more washing in, and visited Cate at Show My Face with my six words.  Zumba soon, and a little later there’ll be Rafa to look forward to.

See you on Monday?  Who knows where we’ll be walking to….  Till then, have fun!
