Happy New Year! This is another short round-up, as I already blogged about the first half of the month in the mid-December update. Not a lot has happened after that, we met some friends and, of course was Christmas, which I blogged about a few days ago. The conservatory is almost done, so we’ve spent […]
It’s time for the annual round-up of the Christmas celebrations. This year was the first one with Volya, so most of the pictures are with her. We had a lovely time and Volya played so much in the morning that she spent the next 11 hours sleeping under the bed. We checked on her a […]
I will talk in this post, Christmas tree decorations, about the new ones I got this year, most of them anyway. Last year I mentioned a few of them, I will link below. We’ve put the tree in our new conservatory. It looks wonderful there. While the conservatory is not completely finished, we need to […]
This is a short mid-December update. I left Ukraine on the 4th and now I’m back home for the rest of the year, haha. I am joking about that, but it’s very likely that in January I will be back in Ukraine for a short trip. I did 64 hours of volunteering + 2 days […]
I made a selection of photos I haven’t shared before, from my last trip to Lviv. Only a few need a short description. This is the Youth Library in the city centre – Rynok Square – where, on the first floor, camo nets are being made. A person at the window, observing the daily minute […]
This month ends with me in Ukraine, once again. I arrived on 20 Nov, the day I published the post A minute of silence on the daily remembrance of the lives lost due to the russian aggression. I will spend a few more days in Ukraine before going back home. It snowed, which is fantastic […]
It started snowing and I got excited. I went to the volunteer dinner and said: “it’s snowing”. Besides a Brit, who was just as excited, nobody else was particularly bothered… people who see snow every year seem to be less impressed than those living on the British Isles, who hardly see any snow. The streets […]
On 11 November we had a delivery and, just by chance, it arrived at exactly 11. The silence is for 2 minutes and the driver was listening to the radio, so he told us and we marked the moment on our driveway. Cars were passing by, we were all still. I was thinking of British […]
It was a very busy half of month, with work on the conservatory going at pace. We are still waiting for a few things to be delivered, but soon we can start working on the interior, rendering the walls, painting, stuff like that. It will be exciting. But, starting from the beginning, on the first […]
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.
