Portsmouth Exhibition

February 2025

February was a very busy month. We had a weekend away in Lancaster, of which I blogged about this month. After that I spent 10 days in Ukraine, volunteering, as usual, although I did attend a fantastic event with lots of people who are doing amazing stuff in Ukraine. Many soldiers were there and talked […]

Ashton Hall at Lancaster Golf Club

Ashton Hall at Lancaster Golf Club

We’ve spent a weekend at the Ashton Hall at Lancaster Golf Club. I am sharing lots of pictures from our visit. It was good and it would have been great if they didn’t have a party on Saturday. It might have been different if we were returning late on Saturday, but we wanted a quiet […]

Sunflower Dreams Project in Portsmouth Cathedral Exhibition was the first exhibition in this series I was involved in.

Portsmouth Museum and Art Gallery

Portsmouth Museum and Art Gallery

Portsmouth Museum and Art Gallery is a free museum and it is a wonderful place to see for anyone visiting the city. I picked a few highlights from the museum, including representations of a few rooms, from early modern to the 20th century. Those do not need any explanations. Enjoy. The museum starts with their […]

The Herbarium, Lancaster

The Herbarium is one of 2 vegan places in Lancaster. We liked it so much when we visited on Friday that we went back for dinner on Saturday as well. The pictures of the food are from both visits, starting with starters, mains, drinks, and desserts. For starters we had houmous topped with a basil […]

Stavropoleos Church

Stavropoleos Church, Bucharest

Stavropoleos Church is one of the oldest churches in Bucharest, dating back to 1724. It is amazing that the church is still standing after the communist period, especially as it is located in the central part of Bucharest – the Old Town. Many churches were destroyed and new buildings were constructed on the sites in […]

Communism Museum in Bucharest

Museum of Communism, Bucharest

Museum of Communism in Bucharest or, in Romanian, Undeva in comunism [Somewhere in communism] is a must visit museum. I followed them on social media and I knew I wanted to visit the museum in our short trip to Romania. It takes an hour and a half to visit and it is so worth it. […]
