I heart Poland

I had such an amazingly good time in Poland! We stayed with family I never knew I had before as our families had lost touch. They are lovely lovely lovely, cooked us lovely food and took us about. These are pictures from their home and from our visit to Pszczyna which had a castle museum place (where you must wear slippers over your shoes) and the cars got clamped dammit!

Karolina (my new distant cousin) and I showed each other music and videos on youtube which is where I picked up Efterklang and the shadow video in my March posts. She got good taste :) We also watched some Lost which made me want to watch it properly...and now me and Stu are spending far too much time watching Lost from the beginning.

Krakow is beautiful though I've not put any pictures in. My favourite favourite is the interior of St Marys church. It is stunningly beautiful! I'm not religious but I love beautiful churches and cathedrals. I never take my own photos inside religious buildings, I feel weird about it. But I will look for other peoples in a bit.

Salt mine is incredible too..salt miners carvings, statues and a whole church made of salt!

I can't remember the last time going abroad made me this happy...I usually find it a bit exhausting.

Have now looked for photos of St Marys but I can't find any that do it justice. Here's a link with other reactions and a description though - http://www.cracow-life.com/poland/krakow-st-marys

Pretty Cupcakes

I love baking :) yumyum :) I tried to make Peyton and Byrne looking cupcakes for my friends engagement party. Think they came out quite pretty. Definitely came out delicious. I always bake extra for myself (I got to make sure they're fit to give away! :D )

Flickr

Looking at shadow photos on flickr, never really browsed flickr before. Is fun. Having trouble posting them though so I'll just post this one for now. I like it, so simple and dramatic.

Pedro and Frankensheep :D

I can't believe how little I've posted lately! I've been enjoying a much needed rest. I'm loving pottering about the house, cleaning, cooking, watching tv and making furniture(!) have also been to Poland. Individual posts coming up, this one is for the amaazing cartoon I have just discovered! Pedro and Frankensheep! I've seen only two but I love the drawing, the voices, the songs and the storylines! It's short and snappy (which means it can hold my attention) and genius :D if only I could always be home at 3:25 or whenever it be on!

Ah! I can watch them online here - http://www.bbc.co.uk/cbbc/watch/?category=pedro yay :)

I have been tagged by Stephanie at Bright Turquoise to put 7 random facts about me. Hmmm.

1. I walk ridiculously fast.

2. I want 2 pet chickens one day. They shall be called Hat and Button and they will lay me breakfast.

3. I fulfilled a wish this summer which was to work in a bookshop on Charing Cross Road. Books were my first love. They fulfil every sense! Except taste. But including the emotional sense!

4. I buy cook books and food magazines and read them but rarely cook. But it makes me really happy when I do have the time and inclination to cook.

5. Mmm broad beans.

6. I LOVE the view from the white horse at Cherhill so much, yet everytime I go I forget to bring a camera. Perhaps this increases the magic.

7. I like cheap chocolate but expensive soap.


I won't be tagging anyone just now though.
