23 Jun 2024 1 minute read 2 comments LeftFooted

I'm writing this from a plane, on my way back home, and I'm bored. I'm flying Wizz Air, which by the way I've only now realised I've been spelling it wrong my whole life because I thought it was either Wizzair or WizzAir but it's neither. It's Wizz...

Kyiv... How often do we begin to value something only after losing it... so Kyiv became more valuable for me when the opportunity to be there is lost (or at least to visit Kyiv often is lost). Beresteysky Avenue (in the past, Victory Avenue) was pass...

Places You Remember for a Lifetime

  Today's trip around the Silesian Park led me to Skansen. The weather is perfect for walking, and on Monday you can enter the open-air museum for free. Of course, this is a limited version of sightseeing, because you can't enter the rooms....

This is a copy of a post that I first made on the Hive Blockchain on 11/06/24 (link here to original post). I went back to the North of Scotland a few weeks ago, to take my Dad home, after he had been visiting us for a few days. I was born on the Nor...
