Easter in Ukraine

This is my first Easter in Ukraine, but it will not be the last. I’m so happy that I was able to attend these wonderful events. This is a picture heavy post, covering Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. I will also talk about what we did at home and a feast at one of the volunteering […]

Bakhmut. Faces of Genocide 1942 and 2022

Bakhmut

Bakhmut. Faces of Genocide 1942|2022 is a special exhibition at the Gunpowder Tower in Lviv. I’ve been blogging about that location a few times because their exhibitions are small and fascinating. Its location is great too, a few minutes walk from the city centre. This exhibition is about the well known city of Bakhmut, well […]

Mid-April update

I don’t usually write mid-month updates, but this time is different because there is a huge change and I want to split the monthly round-up in 2, so today is Mid-April update. I will share pictures and in the monthly round-up will be the collage with a picture for each day. These two weeks I’ve […]

Volya

As I am writing this post, a relatively big and very furry cat is relaxing on my right shoulder. I type without being able to see the keyboard. If you have Instagram and want to see a daily picture of her (or so), here is her account. A week ago I took Volya with me […]

Unbroken: Behind the Rim

Unbroken: Behind the Rim is a special exhibition in Lviv, on for another week. I mentioned the National Rehabilitation Center Unbroken last year, when I visited it. The artwork on display was created by soldiers who are treated at the centre. Before needing rehabilitation and, most likely, prosthetics, most of these men and women were […]

Turner. In Light and Shade

Last month I visited the special exhibition on Turner: In Light and Shade. It is at Whitworth in Manchester, free to visit, and on until 2 November 2025. The exhibition is celebrating the 250th anniversary of the birth of J.M.W Turner. I think anyone in UK who loves dark landscapes is familiar with his work. […]

March 2025

Last month I started my post by saying that I spent 10 days in Ukraine, now I’m back in Ukraine, this time for a longer period. I’ve been only for 2 nights and I managed to do quite a lot of things. Life in Ukraine moves so much faster for me. On Sunday I: moved […]

National Portrait Gallery in 15 Highlights

National Portrait Gallery in 15 Highlights is a bit of an unusual post. I share only 15 highlights, which can be a piece of art or just a small detail from a painting. They are not in any specific order, just as I photographed them. I hope you enjoy it. Let me know which one […]

No Iconic Images

No iconic images

No iconic images at the Open Eye Gallery in Liverpool is a special exhibition. The exhibition just opened on 20 Mar and it will be on until 4 May. I highly recommend a visit. It is a free exhibition and it is so interesting. The exhibition is hosted in 3 different rooms, each with its […]

Itadakizen

Itadakizen Shrewsbury

Itadakizen is a vegan restaurant in Shrewsbury. Luckily we thought of booking before visiting, as we wanted to visit for an early dinner just before heading back home. While we were having our dinner, only 1 small table was not previously booked and it was quickly filled. They had to turn down about 4-5 groups […]
