I’ve celebrated my birthday in Ukraine this year. The plan was to go to London, but when my husband asked me what I really want to do, my reply was that I would like to go to Lviv, so we went there instead. We’ve spent 5 days in Lviv in which we did, in total, […]
CATstravangaza Liverpool was an event earlier this month. It is a small event, but it is so worth going to one. There are a lot of breeders happy to talk about their cats and there are presentations of different breeds, all sort of things on sale for both cat-owners and cat-lovers. This is a new […]
River of Lights in Liverpool is an yearly event. I attended this year with my husband and a friend. Enjoy the pictures.
I’ve been to the Tower Bridge many times, but didn’t visit it. I was afraid of heights, but this changed recently and unexpectedly, after going to Ukraine. Acrophobia is uncomfortable. It seems a few weeks of volunteering in a country at war can be considered a cure. At least it was for me. There are […]
Somehow I think people need a bit of relaxing pictures today, which is great considering that the post on Snowdon was scheduled in my calendar for today. I hope you enjoy these pictures, from our trip with the train up to Snowdon Summit. There was a fog/cloud thing on the Summit. The train ride is […]
The second place we’ve been to in Amiens was a late 19th-century home in which Jules Verne lived. It has some of items he used, beautifully preserved interiors, and a garden. Jules Verne lived for 34 years in Amiens and 18 of those years were spent in this house which is now a museum. When […]
Amiens Cathedral is one of the 2 attractions in Amiens I saw on my way back from Paris. This cathedral is stunning. It was built in the 13th century. During 2 years of the French Revolutions it sustained damage as people looted and destroyed churches all over the country. From early 1800s the restoration started […]
October was a relatively busy month, with a trip to north Wales, a trip to London, a day-trip to Manchester, and a book launch. November will be more hectic, that’s for sure. Our bathroom renovations are done and I love my new bathroom. I am sharing a lot of pictures this time and not chronologically. […]
The last posts from Paris were about places that needed no introduction. I’m not so sure about Malmaison though. It was considered a palace, but judging by its size, it is similar to a small country home by British standards (and French if we think of Versailles and Louvre). Malmaison was the private residence of […]
Musée de l’Armée is going to be a pictures only post. It’s a wonderful museum which I couldn’t visit in its entirety because we arrived at the museum 2 hours before closing and I assume it takes about 3-4 hours to properly see everything. I shared the highlights, which include Napoleon’s tomb. I have to […]
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.
