Truskawki!

Which translates to Strawberries! It is such an important word at the moment as Warsaw is deluged with strawberries. From old ladies running small stalls outside of the metro stations to supermarkets... everywhere there are strawberries. The fruit are so sweet and it is possible to buy them in huge quantities for not very much money. I managed to buy a kilo of them last week for zl 4 (about 80p), so me and Amy have been enjoying strawberry shakes and generally gorging ourselves on them for the last couple of weeks.

On Saturday we went to some friends Pene and Mike who work at the N.Zealand embassy and had one of the biggest BBQ's imaginable (and MORE strawberries). We spent Sunday mooching around the Old Town in Warsaw and visited Saski park which has just renovated it's (huge) fountain.

We've also spent a bit of time sorting out our spare room. It doesn't look like we're going to be able to move to a bigger place now, so we've had a general tidy/sort out so to make our spare room suitable for our impending new arrival!

Even more good news is afoot - it'll soon be cherry season!
