April was great because we went to Leeds for jousting, to Manchester for CuppaPug, had a day trip to Winchester, and because I saw Nancy Pelosi at an event in Oxford. But, it was amazing, because we went to Ukraine! Firstly, these are two pictures with Nancy Pelosi. She is fantastic, on heels, full of […]
Ukraine remembers its heroes, that was so obvious in Lviv and Kyiv. I will share pictures with short descriptions from both cities. The pictures are grouped on theme and not on place, but the events are shared chronologically. The first mention is of the Heavenly Hundred memorial in Saint Michael’s Square. Saint Michael’s was torn […]
I had no memories of Ukraine because I’ve never been there before. I had images of Ukraine and ideas of what Ukraine meant by following the news, reading the history of the country, interacting with Ukrainians, following closely the developments on the frontline (watching trench footage and drone footage), and donating to different causes (lethal […]
Koocha Mezze Bar is a vegan restaurant in Bristol. The food is lovely and the atmosphere really nice. I highly recommend it and we would be happy to visit them again, if we are going back to Bristol. It is a Persian restaurant, so we knew we are going to love the food. The decor […]
Re:Loaded is a special exhibition at the Royal Armouries in Leeds. It was interesting to see and I will share a few highlights from it. I would have to say that they could have done a better job with the descriptions, as we had to take a booklet with us to read the details about […]

Piana Vyshnia means Drunken Cherry in Ukrainian. They are selling cherry liqueur. It is a drink specific to Eastern Europe. In Romania we have a similar drink called vișinată (vișină means sour cherry). It is made in Lviv and they have a few restaurants opened all over Europe, including places like Bucharest and Riga. The […]
Runnymede is the birthplace of the Magna Carta. On 15 June 1215 King John has signed the Magna Carta in this open landscape. It is close to London, on the Thames, but of course, pre-cars and pre-paved-roads, it was rather far. Luckily Runnymede has kept its open landscape and it is a wonderful place to […]
As usual at Easter, we went to see the Jousting Tournament in Leeds. This time though we spent the night in Leeds and saw two events, one on Sunday and the one Monday morning. There are 2 events each day. It was lovely, even on the second day, when it rained. Just have a look […]

I will disclose by mentioning in the post and/or by marking them with an asterisk (*) or c/o.
