Walking Warsaw the Nordic Way
One of my passions, as regular readers may know, is walking, preferably through countryside or forest, but if all else fails just a stroll around the city neighbourhoods. I find […]
Three Books
As ever, my Christmas presents included a couple of books, and I bought more on my trip to London over the New Year. And, as ever, the choices are eclectic, […]
