November 2024

November was a tumultuous month. It started with some events in Liverpool, CATstravaganza Liverpool & River of Lights, elections in US (I made a short political commentary, using a few bullet points to force me to be brief), a fantastic Ukrainian event with traditional music, I’ve had my graduation ceremony at Oxford for my Masters’, […]

Unseen Force

Unseen Force

Unseen Force was a special exhibition, which ended a couple of days ago. I wanted to share some highlights from it, even if my readers are not going to see it. Also, it was in Ukraine, so even if it was still on, it would still have been impossible to see it. Unseen Forces was […]

Graduating at Oxford

I had my graduation ceremony earlier this month. I will share pictures from the day and a description. It was my decision not to share pictures with my face, but I hope you like the pictures nonetheless. The gorgeous gown is the Master’s Gown, which has embroidery on it, unlike the commoner’s gown which I […]

Birthday in Ukraine

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

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 […]

Tower Bridge

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 […]

Snowdon

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 […]

Jules Verne House

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

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 […]
