Still waiting.....

Sorry if you’re logging in expecting to hear news of our baby….nothing’s happened….

We’ve tried all the ‘recommended’ things – eating curry, riding a bike on bumpy pavements (!!) and chewing on pineapple, but it looks like she’s holding firm and is going to go the duration ;)

Despite this we enjoyed (probably) our last child free weekend in Warsaw. The National Museum in Warsaw had an exhibition of works by Stanisław Wyspiański, a famous Polish artist who in his 38 years of life managed to be Director of Arts at Krakow University, paint a number of masterpieces as well as staging 17 plays. Not bad really. We liked his work.

On Saturday night we caught up with Amy’s friend Drew, who had just arrived back in Warsaw from Melbourne. He brought with him a whole stash of Violet Crumble choc bars, so Amy was very happy to see him. We went for a curry and then on for a few drinks (Amy wants you all to know that she had lemonade).

We’ve just returned from the Botanical Gardens, a 20 minute bus ride outside of Warsaw. We’d not been before and as it was such a sunny day here we had a really nice time. During the summer they put on international piano concerts in the park (translated to ‘music in the flowers’) so it was nice to sit in the sun and listen to a bit of Chopin, Liszt etc before wandering/waddling around the beautiful grounds.
